Does anyone have views on the new DAN "For Sale" landing page?

Personally I think it's cluttered and ugly. The new information boxes describing the seller and the DAN expert look more spivvy than reassuring, and – worst of all – they distract attention away from the "Make an offer" (or "Buy now") box, which is where I really want visitors to be focusing!

And we can't opt to keep the old-style landing page via settings.

I thought I'd wait a few days before telling DAN, as perhaps it'll grow on me (although I don't think it will).

Also, I don't want to make a fuss if most people on here think it's an improvement ... which is why I'm posting this question.
 
I wasn't that keen on it to start with but the more I look at it the more I`m getting used to it, plus since the change Iv`e sold a name and had a few offers on there so dont see it putting buyers off.
I dont have a background image so I think that helps.

Thanks boxerdog. I do have a background image, which I was rather pleased with (I know, it's sad, isn't it?) but with the new landing page it looks worse than having no background image at all.

Perhaps if I can't get used to it I'll remove the background image.

I'm reassured that you've had a sale and some offers since they introduced the new one.
 
I guess it depends on the image, I couldn't find any I liked so just gave up

Mine's just a dark blue rectangle that I designed myself. (Yes, I really am THAT talented!)

Seriously though, it still looks fine on phone view – which is probably how most people will first get to see it – so I probably won't make a fuss.
 
Just to make you aware dan has made some changes, if you go into your settings/for sale page near the bottom you can now select what you want to apear in the box on your landing page.

True, but you can't get rid of the 2 new boxes altogether.

But it doesn't really matter that much – I'm getting used to the changes and they don't seem to be harming people's sales!

True but its a change, i didn't like it showing how many domains i had sold so i ask them to remove it yesterday and they Implemented this today so at least they are listening which is a good thing.

Thanks – it's certainly a change for the better. I appreciate your drawing it to my attention.

As I've yet to sell a name on DAN (I've only been with them a very short time), one of my pre-set display options would be "Delivers within about 50 years". I certainly won't be displaying that one!
 
Just sold another name so I`d definitely say its an improvement

That's good to know. I suppose having a bit of information on the seller and the DAN expert makes the whole thing look a bit more reassuring to buyers – and although I didn't like the look of new page when I first saw it I'm OK with it now.
