New Free Pogo Homepage

by Lura on October 8, 2009

Earlier this week, Pogo launched the latest redesign of their free home page. (If you’re a Club Pogo member and want to check it out, just sign out for a little bit and browse around. It’s pretty spiffy.) They’ve also posted an overview to explain the basics of the new site and a detailed look at some of the new tabs and features.

This doesn’t affect most of you, as the majority of BadgeHungry readers are Club Pogo members, but there is something you should be aware of. From this week’s UK Letters to the Editor:

our new Free Pogo homepage is the first stage of an enormous project to give the free site – and, eventually, Club Pogo – a serious make-over. Club Pogo is probably the most important to get absolutely perfect, so comes in the latter stages of the project, which runs well into next year. The emphasis is really on making Pogo as user-friendly and visually pleasing as possible, so we’ve spent a lot of time collecting feedback and ideas from Pogo players.

Sometime next year Club Pogo will be getting a makeover too. Most likely it’ll coordinate and fall in line with the free Pogo homepage and accompanying pages. (Think: similar colors and layout, no ads, and more focus on badges.)

What do you think of the redesigned free homepage? Do you think Club Pogo will benefit from a similar organization scheme?
Whether or not you’re a free or Club Pogo member, feel free to chime in on these changes in a comment below.
