I agree with you actually, and share your views about the conceptual representation. I like it and I think it’s very effective overall. There are a few things that seem, to my eyes, complex for complexity’s sake - such as the use of multiple fonts and styles, and some of the graphics are distracting rather than illuminating. Just needs a bit of tidying up and something to unify the various elements more effectively and make the underlying order more apparent.
These things are a matter of testing, I think.
I’ve been a professional editor and am very aware of different fonts but also realize that they are different for a reason. I’ve gone through the phase of noticing them for their own sake to not noticing unless they really distract. Most people aren’t aware of them at all directly, just viscerally.
My opinion is that the different fonts are great, but that’s just me.
(Thanks for the kb metric!!)
I know that everyone’s opinion is subjective but I think the sites design perfectly matches its message. The main message being Freedom of Expression, as well as open, collaborative, and creative. This site is creative and expressive and personally it speaks to me. I like minimalist a lot too and I think that’s where the material design ‘flavor’ comes in. Maybe others aren’t seeing the forest for the trees when they get overly analytical about it?
A couple of cents from me:
I reckon those who have read some of my posts have gathered that I’m not really young and hip anymore. (Not that I ever really was that “hip”.) The point is I may be a bit conservative when it comes to aesthetics. I also still have a problem with web pages having more than one column. That may make sense in a printed newspaper in order to make the lines shorter and thus easier to read. But on a computer screen the only way for me to read is by scrolling from top to bottom. I personally like the design of e.g.
where adverts and the like go on the sides and don’t interfere with my scrolling down through the news.
And I personally dislike the design of e.g.
where everything seems to be all over the place.
Of course the Safe network site is not a news site, but maybe you understand what I mean in general. I also use an ad blocker, so I may not see everything somebody else does. I mainly use the Linux version of Chromium as my browser on a 24" screen.
Just a thought. An example. Look at the first screen of the homepage (the first that appears, before scrolling) of the Hub Safedev site and then the New Safenetwork website.
Which one is better? Imho the Hub Safedev’s screen is more attractive to an external user thanks to the background image. Doesn’t it look cleaner to you?
So my question is, what about adding a background image to the first screen (the section of the page that appears first)?
Not gonna flood it with feedback, but I don’t like the zany colors like the yellows or orange. Perhaps the fastest aesthetic quick-fix is to maintain the blue, gray and white colors overall, on safenetwork.tech
But I wouldn’t bother spending time changing anything besides the colors, at this point. Always good to have another website that explains things, so good move team 
Viewed on desktop and mobile and things look fine, besides colors.
Have to disagree on that. I am so saturated by blue, white and grey websites that I get kind of nauseated at the thought of them
I’m sorry. But I don’t understand why some people are complaining at all. The site is different, isn’t that what the whole purpose is? Safenet dares to challenge all crypto blockchain projects, and is the only one that will turn them on there heads. That’s why I like the site, it’s outside the box. I think people are just set in there ways - nothing wrong with that. Eventually you will see other similar sites just copying it. It’s ultra modern and ultra slick. Devs you did an outstanding job.
It is a great first step. congratulations. this is a long time in development and clearly worth it.
If nothing else, the site does not ask you to turn off your adblocker, does not offer to spam you with an annoying newsletter in exchange for your precious email, it does not make you hate it with a spastic popover of any sort and it does not make you hate it even more by begging you to like anyone or anything on FB or anywhere else.
It doesn’t make you scream and pull your hair by a terribly annoying autoplay video which is just an excuse for annoying ads.
I know this won’t change the minds of people who need some time to accept it like you do when hearing Group Sex by Circle Jerks for the first time, but the site is the perfect opposite of everything that makes the current internet basically unbearable.
Very slick site and lots of great info on there. I just got all exited again 
When this thing launches it’s gonna change the world in so many ways! Free, open and frictionless commerce. No firewalls. No censorship. No take downs of data. Permanent guaranteed data storage. Complete autonomy of your data. No fee and instant transfer of value. The list goes on and on. All the hard work will be worth it. Hoping I can chip in and do something for the cause soon too (many ideas brewing:) Keep it up and good luck 
Of course devs did an amazing job. We’re all saying that the new website is both a wonderful update and news. I think people are not complaining, just giving personal opinions based on subjective tastes😉 Having different thoughts is imo interesting and curious cause it marks our different prospectives.
Its unique style maybe raised initially some questions and doubts but I think that with time it will grow in most of us, thanks also the the future updates and changes. Again congrats to the devs!
Yip - sorted this morning. It’ll be published on Monday.

That’s for those that forgot to buy. Kinda obvious/subliminal.
Nicely spotted, we have a lot of work (it should not be but it is a big job) to remove trackers, cookies and the likes from all of our sites. It is hard as embedded videos etc. all make it hard. The amount of tracking these days is unbelievable. I wish all companies in this space would do the same. It’s a lot of effort but makes everyone’s life just that bit easier.
Just a big “plus one” on what @dirvine has said there.
We’ve taken the whole tracking thing very seriously here. It would have been a lot, lot easier to carry on in the “normal” manner of things but that isn’t what we are all about. The extra hours and effort my colleagues have put in to this project have been inspiring (@Shankar in particular has been a complete superstar).
In my short time with MaidSafe and being part of the SAFE Community my eyes have been opened to the amount of personal information of ours that is being harvested on a massive scale, however seemingly (and potentially actually) innocently at times, and I’m glad of it.
Formatting and style can be discussed/debated; typos can and will get fixed… and through the SAFE Network so will the internet.
DG.
How many Davids does it take to decentralise the internet? 
jk great work guys. Wasn’t aware of the extra work in that regard.
Not surprised that removing all the trackers is a massive job - tracking is woven into the fabric of the Web these days. Once it’s done (is it finished now? NoScript isn’t finding anything) you should definitely make a thing of it. A simple “We don’t track you” somewhere visible with a link to more info should do it. Nice quick PR win.
Okay, I see that the overall shift is to move from the blue logo to a more sober black and white.
As @antifragile said, look at here https://maidsafe.net and the devhub like this https://hub.safedev.org were sober designs that breaks from the “blue” and yet it is coherent with the same style, with the subtle hues to the original blue when buttons are selected.
And suddenly this SafeNetwork.tech happens, with the overpowering yellow that came out of nowhere, inconsistent color palettes and multiple fonts.
It is not just a matter of taste, it is breaking design principles and it just doesn’t scream professional.
A brand style guide sets the personality of a brand through its consistency and coherence.
The first impression I got when I went to safenetwork.tech was that I was being phished.
And considering that there are already domain squatters preying on people interested Safecoins, it really doesn’t help to have inconsistent designs, and the lack of a style guide it just adds more to the confusion.
