Xero - Maintain previous design style in Xero
Keep the Xero Classic Look everyone preferred.
The design of the New Invoicing, Bills and Fixed Assets pages are sadly reminiscent of an excel spreadsheet.
One of the enjoyments of the Xero software compared to its competitors are the fresh, clean pages that make it inviting to use. When changing to new function, Xero has changed its design elements and is missing the 'attractiveness' that has been part of Xero's signature branding.
Specifically black text, flat checkboxes, grey cell borders and grey column headers makes it feel like an outdated 1990s program.
I am hearing similar comments from my clients. Although functionality is a priority, the design of a product is very important to the experience of using the software.
Recommendations to keep with the blue accents, shadow checkboxes and less obvious cell borders would bring the page back into the modern fresh feel that made it more appealing to use as a business's main accounting tool.
