I like the website.
The only problem is the home page does not show much excitement and enthusiasm considering avast! 8 was just released.
Please view the attachment so you can feel the jubilation! Is this exciting or what?

Well everything is easy to find and all that but I am with Para-Noid and DavidR. White , white , and more white. It is like I am at DeLL Forum and not Avast!. What, a little more of orange or the old blue, does not cost that much, doesn’t it.
Hi all!
I’ve been reading others posts and this is my opinion about new website…
I like the new design very much but, in my opinion, you shoud have used less white colour and you could have highlighted the orange colour becouse I think that it’s the one that identify Avast products. When I see the orange color I think of avast… Do you understand me? …
If we talk about usability, I could say that now, all the sections seems to be as if they were hidden… You want to highlight Avast Free an IS as your main products but what about Premier ? Why did you put so down in the web? I don’t know if you can understand me…
If we talk about design , I would have set a background image with some orange color in the first image, some text, a rectangle or whatever you want… :-\
Look at the attached image. I’m refering to the area which is inside the orange box that I drew. I think there is too much white colour and an excesive big gradient background image…
Otherwise, Congratulations for Avast 8! You have done a very good work as always you do ;D
PD: Excuse for my english… I’m spanish and I don’t have the native level of some users
Best regards
POPULOUS
I think the new Website looks very clean and refreshing, not much to say other than I love it
I liked the old one better.
The new website is too white. :o It should be darker, but otherwise I like it.
I would prefer it a bit greyer - like how the shades this forum has
Lets hope they think contrast, not another see of white/light colours. I can’t dial my monitor brightness down much more or everything else is to bloody dark.
EDIT: I too liked the old avast.com layout and colour scheme better.
Here is a Screen Capture of what I’m experiencing when I hover on the Home and Business categories at the top of the site.
As I mentioned yesterday, it happens when I come on to hover on those categories from below or from the sides.
If I come on to hover on them from above them, they seem to work OK.
The glitch doesn’t appear 100% of the time, but I’d say about 80% of the time it does.
Hmmm??? I did some more testing and it might be an Opera Browser problem.
I accessed the avast website with my Chrome Portable, which is the latest version from PortableApps.com that I just installed the other day … and the glitch on the Home & Business categories did NOT manifest itself with Chrome.
Then after clearing out the Private Data and the Browser Cache on my Opera 11.64, I accessed the avast website again.
The glitch manifested itself with Opera again.
True, Opera 11.64 is NOT remotely the latest Opera version.
I don’t know whether the latest Opera 12.xx version would also exhibit the glitch or not.
I might have to try the latest Opera version later today to see whether that clears up the problem.
I just accessed the avast website with my Firefox Portable 19.0 and the Home & Business categories worked fine.
So, it does seem like Opera 11.64 seems to be the culprit.
Can anyone else who already has Opera 12.xx confirm that hovering on the Home & Business categories at the top of the page on the avast website works fine?
No problem with the site here using Opera 12.14
Thanks, Luxor! I’m about to install Opera 12.14 in just a bit.
Alright, much better. I can now confirm that Opera 12.14 has eliminated the glitch of which I spoke earlier on the Home & Business categories.
As to the website itself? While I haven’t given it a power scrutinizing session, I think so far I would have to say it is easier to find stuff on this new version than it was on the old version. Good layout and navigation flow from that standpoint.
As to the contrast issue that others have mentioned?
Given that avast’s marquee signature color is Orange, it could probably use a little bit more Orange accents / trim somewhere.
More clean, easier to navigate.
Its just better and awesome…
Very Good! I like that.
It needs a little more “orange”.
There is one issue I did find, however. Under “our other popular solutions”, Google Chrome is listed. This is misleading, as it implies that Google Chrome is an Avast! product. This can also lead to legal issues.
Hi SugarD-x,
I was thinking this as well, but avast! does have a relationship with Google and its Chrome browser.

The wording should probably be renamed then.
Yes you right, it is too bright, hope they will make some small change here :-\
