Website and Store gets a makeover
Published on October 9, 2008 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News







Have you been to Impulsedriven.com in awhile? Well if you have, you'll notice that we've done some redecorating to not only the website but the store itself.

We've made the website much more informational with the homepage now adding a featured title section highlighting a major software or game, a latest news section showing off recent releases, and a recent articles section authored by people from the Impulse community. You'll also find the navigation to be a lot more friendly with the left hand-side search bar and menu.

When you're ready to search through our library of games and software, you'll notice a whole new look to the Impulse store. First, check out the featured tab that lists all the latest and popular additions with our new "lightening bolt" popularity ranking. Sorting through all your favorite games is now as easy as simply clicking on the Category name you want to sort by i.e. product name, popularity, release date, or price. If you choose to see a bigger list, you can click on the +/- button to expand your list and see all that there is to offer.

Need some help? We've also added a support tab where you can easily find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions, or if you don't see what you're looking for, you can contact support directly through our email system.

If you haven't checked out Impulse yet, visit www.impulsedriven.com to get your exclusive free download of Stardock's new digital distribution platform.

Growing pains?

"Free" does not equal "demo" So that I get.

Agreed growing pains.  I think though since finding software in the Store is now done on the left hand side through the links provided then that same model needs to be implemented for Demos.  One possibility is have a sub-category of Demos somwhere beneath All in each of the relevant product categories.

If SD wants to de-couple Demos from the Store then something needs to be made obvious to users in Impulse to find Demos.  Just think how much having "Demos" of Window Blinds, Object Dock and Object Bar on Cnet and available on Stardock.com has increased awareness of Stardock's products.  Try before you buy works well, I think.
