Interface redesign: Settings

This morning we’ve released one of our largest changes in some time; a huge overhaul of our Settings area. Here’s a summary of what’s changed:

New look and feel

Thanks to the J-Team (that would be Jaco and Jeff), the Settings area is rocking a fresh new design. Navigation links are clearer, with easy to click target areas. Form elements are neatly aligned, with slightly larger input areas, and helpful explanations below.

Priorities, priorities

Everybody needs to edit their tax settings. So why did we bury that 3 clicks deep? No matter – taxes are now their own tab, so you can get there right away.

Introducing “My Account”

We’ve moved account-related pages into a whole new area called “My Account”. Here you’ll find your current billing package with FreshBooks, the administrator account, API token, and Basecamp account details. Getting there is easy; just click the “My Account” link on the top-right.

Redesigned payment gateway page

Most folks only have one payment gateway enabled, and having to scroll through a giant list of gateways you don’t use was a bit of a pain. So now we’re emphasizing your enabled gateways, and hiding the rest.

Colors and logos become one

Behold the colors and logos page, which holds … your color and logo settings. We’ve replaced our aging color picker with something more in keeping with the times (can you say saturation-slider?), and added big, sharp images that show you where your logos go.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, really; we’ve made a ton of small changes throughout the Settings area. Login to your account and take a look, and as always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged.
