Corbis unveils new simplified website
Corbis has announced a major overhaul of its website with the main improvements focused on making the site more simple and user-friendly. The difference does not seem like a big deal until you start using the site and realize that Corbis has refined and simplified a lot of the little annoying things that have plagued designers in the past. Also, Corbis seems to have acknowledged that some users like to browse rather than search and has taken steps to make the content easier to browse by categories, particularly on the RF page. “We have been actively listening to our customers to better gauge their current and future needs. The new site design incorporates their feedback,” said Mike Dusche, Corbis’ vice president of customer experience. “These changes are the first in a series of steps we are taking to revolutionize our customers’ online experience.”
In addition it seems as though Corbis may have consulted with noted stock photo industry analyst Jim Pickerell as the press release features the following quote. “Showcasing key image segments with editor selects is one of the most efficient ways to organize and search royalty-free images,” said Jim Pickerell, president and founder, Selling Stock.
