Finally. After two long weeks of being down Zazzle has put up their new site. I'm sure no one will buy a thing, but at least all my "store" links don't go to that stupid transition page. That said, buy my stuff. As to the site, this is what I can see as new features and modifications:
- New products. Greeting Cards & Apparel.
- Better product previews.
- Better navigation inside my store.
- New print sizes. Portfolio & Colossal.
- Wider selection of paper and canvas.
- Better overall buying experience.
There might be more, but this is all I see as the major changes. Personally I don't see why the site had to be down for two weeks to make these changes, but oh well.
I like the new portfolio size; it offers an even better size for people who don't want a poster but just a print. The colossal size is ridiculous. The huge size was bigger than anyone would buy in the first place, but it might have just been added to make contributors happy.
The wider paper selection is also a great addition, as I can really see people buying into all of the different types. The fine-art paper is the most interesting to me.
As to the new products, they are cool but I don't know if I will contribute to them. I have been thinking of making a cafe press store, and they cover apparel as well as coffee mugs and mouse pads.
I think the site's biggest change was the mental change in users’ minds. It feels like a solid site that can be trusted to buy from.

I bought stuff when they were beta, and the buying experience was perfect.
So, since I have never stated on this site before, go
