Pinterest announced it’s testing a new look among a small group of users to make it easier to find what you’re searching for on the site.
The company aims to improve a few key components, such as making
navigation more intuitive and faster. Pins will also be bigger and
include more image details. The new design also includes a related pins
side bar, which may encourage users to stay on the site longer by
clicking through to other boards.
Although the updates may be hard to spot for those who are not design
enthusiasts, the aesthetic is easier on the eyes with a new gray
gradient background behind all pins and the subtle changes will be an
improvement for discovering new content on the site.
“Pins are bigger and we’ve added more information related to pins, so
it’s easier to find things you’re interested in,” Vy Pham, software
engineer at Pinterest, wrote in an official company blog post.
“For example, on each pin, you’ll see pins from the same board, other
boards this pin was pinned to, and a whole slew of related pins.”
Pinterest says it will be testing the update with a small group of
users in the upcoming weeks and will roll out the design once it’s
ready.
“Our goals with this new look are to make it easier to get around the
site and help people get more information about pins they care about,” a
Pinterest spokesperson told Mashable. “We also made some changes behind the scenes that we hope will make things faster.”
