One of the aspects of a startup that make it exciting and frustrating at the same time, is that you are always doing things you haven’t done or experienced before. You make mistakes along the way, learn from them and try to make amends.  As proud as we were of Locomi in its first avatar, it had its issues.

For one, there were so many features that we wanted to add, but couldn’t because the applications design didn’t allow it. The accordion design, isn’t exactly scalable one. What’s more users got back to us saying that, it took quite some time to load, especially on the kind of connections that we have in India. Thus the change to a tabbed interface.

There have obviously been quite a few apparent cosmetic changes to the design. Its a lot sexier (in our very biased opinion) and credit   for this should be given to Sid (our VP, User Experience) and Sukanto (our lead developer). The redesign has taken a long time coming but we are happy with the way its come about. There are tons of new features that our users can look forward to in the near future.

We would appreciate any feedback on whether you like or dislike the  redesign and how we can make it better. You will be hearing more from us soon. Till then, happy discovering folks!
