Welcome to the new and improved Sharebay. As of Jan 1, 2021, Sharebay is sporting a sleaker, more minimalist look. Here’s a round-up of the latest fixes and improvements.

• New logo and branding
• New minimalist colour scheme and layout. (Sharebay is not the product – the listings are)
• Return of the searchable map
• Addition of listing categories to help find what you need
• Listing templates feature – post an offer in a few clicks from templates of commonly shared items and services
• Better matching of possible offers with previous searches and site activity
• Simplified informational pages
• Additional cloud hosting to reduce loading times up to 70%
• Countless code improvements to increase site performance

Overall the design brief I set myself was to make inventory the top priority of the site, relaxing site branding and layout to bring inventory to the fore and make it as easy as possible to post offers and interact with the site. The aim was to create as much as possible the look and feel of a traditional retail site, strip out any unnecessary idealist content and just keep focus on the items and services being shared.

This is still very much a work in progress and there are many more improvements planned, so stay tuned. If you’ve any suggestions, please drop them to my inbox at [email protected].
