Can't stop fiddling with things

Playing with layouts. This is the current layout for the comparisons table:

Comparing Things | WordPress Comparison Plugin

A simple way to compare pretty much anything you want on your WordPress site. Most of these demo pages are set up to compare loans…

comparisons.bankcomparisonplugin.com

This is the new:

Comparisons | Testblog Testblog Testblog

[comparisons]

testblog.co.uk

Which do you prefer?

Ignore colours, fonts etc, they are all ediable. It's just the layout of the results table for which I want your critique.

I prefer the first one - second one looks a bit too "Busy".

 

[tony84]

I agree.

For me, the ideal would be the look/layout of the first but with the filter row and filter notification of the second.

The filter facility is useful. Would it be an idea to have a 'clear' button at the end as it's quite easy to leave a filter selected without meaning to ?

I think you've done a great job with both, I like the clarity of the first however with something like this the extra information in the second is important. The first is easier on the eye but the second might perform better so I'm saying the second.

Thanks all. Useful feedback.

The structure of the first has proved useful for custom tables but I always felt the bottom line of content looked a bit wrong. But it seems my views were wrong so I'll leave it as it is for now and keep version two if someone want their version to look like that.

I would say is to visually separate the 3 sections.

The slider section, filters and results seem cluttered together. Maybe add a light background colour to 1 or 2 to help separate those sections

Also, add a little breathing space to the results section inbetween each company. Seems a bit tight

Thanks @JamaC - agree about the spacing. Very few people actually use this plugin. It's really just a demo from which I create custom versions. And customers report that most visitors use their phones. Which is why I have put more effort into the mobile layout.

Can we possibly replace dormant listings

Can we possibly replace dormant listings

Replace them with what?

 

[Gyumri]

A default message after say 5 days of nobody taking any further interest in a thread that could say "ask the forum" .

A message which is still hanging in the air after 5 days is no longer "new".

It's just a thought to ensure the forum stays fresh.
