<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1056953, member: 19065"]The landing page is <i>trendy</i> for typical web site design of the moment. People will get used to the new look except for anyone encountering Flash features on a smart phone or pad/tablet type of device, like those from Apple. Coins certainly look better against a dark background so they should have options for viewing coins on black as well as white. The rest of the site is pretty much the same, layout and navigation wise. They seem to have just revised the site half way or in appearance only, which is unfortunate that it wasn't a 100% update. The site sort of has a standard 'bullion dealer' look to it. The mix and scale of the fonts is also a bit conflicting right now and that is bound to have the kinks worked out in days ahead as the Mint gets comments (hopefully passing the revision requests on to the site designers/developers). </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I'd say this is about on par for the U.S. Mint, just like their customer service, QC and products, about half-arsed, leaving room for desired improvements.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
