Speaking of real estate websites…did MyNewPlace.com launch a new site on Friday?

Michelle,

Yes they did. They launch about the same day I did my redesign.

What do you guys think about the MyNewPlace redesign? It is meant to be less about apartments, and more friendly to single family homes.

Matt,

You should put a poll on your site about it like I did, it appears that half of the people think it looks pretty much the same.

Matt,

Is the new site going to focus on renting single family homes or listing them for sale?

Dave, we did extensive testing of what renters liked, and made an informed decision. The new homepage is not something WE thought renters would like, but what renters showed they liked.

Michelle, we are stictly a rental site. Our old homepage focused on apartments, even though a third of our traffic was looking for single family homes. The new homepage is all encompassing, apartments and homes.

Matt,

I did not do extensive testing before my redesign I just winged it. :)

Well, naturally, it was intended for both!
