Pinterest has been busy recently launching a new analytic tool last week and now rolling out a completely redesigned site to go along with it. In January, Pinterest started to test a new look with a select group of pinners, designed to make discovering things on Pinterest much easier. Since then, Pinterest used the feedback from these influencers to make even more site improvements!
Today, Pinterest announced they are rolling out this improved look to everyone. If you haven’t seen the new design yet you should receive an invitation soon.
New Discovery Features
Pinterest has added new features for close-up views of pins to help discover things you love that you may have otherwise missed before, including:
Other Changes
Pinterest’s goal with this update is to make things simpler and cleaner, without requiring people to learn anything new. You’ll notice subtle but useful changes like bigger pins and more related content visible.
Also when you scroll through pins and click on something of interest, the back button will take you right back where you came from no matter how far you’ve scrolled.
Finally, Pinterest also rebuilt the foundation of which the website was built making the site more reliable and easier for them to improve.
The new Pinterest roll out definitely makes the site feel cleaner, faster and more engaging!
What do you think of the new look?
I’ve been using Pinterest for quite a time now, and this is the update that has made this visual pinboard look all the more attractive, fun and easy to use – It’s clean and well organized. Top that with the much needed Analytics. It was a much awaited, long needed overhaul. Good going team Pinterest!
I agree, it seems like every move Pinterest makes too is always well received!
The embed does not work properly yet. The look seems fine.
Genial mas Simple.
I still have the old one. ๐
I like very much the new design! ๐
I like it! ๐
Sometimes, new is not better! Pinterest is a game changer that innovates on a high speed developing market!
I’ve been working with the new layout for a few days now and it’s definitely a cleaner and more organized look. The one thing that doesn’t seem to be much better is the followers page. I think they need to rethink the page and come up with a design that doesn’t load tons of unnecessary image data every time you want to take a peak at what your followers are up to.
I don’t use Pinterest enough to notice any benefits from the change. It does look nicer and I’m glad they added the new analytics features too.
Nice & Clean!
I love it! I’ve had it for a while I guess! Thought this was something else! I need a board edit and a board scramble would be a sweet feature!
