How could Xero improve the homepage?

Very Simply Either, Either the Old Dashboard remains a Option or You Lose a Customer.

You Need to Understand the KISS Principal

Keep It Simple STUPID.

Simple to Understand You Force Stupid Ideas to Someone that Doesn't Want It They Leave.

So long, Farewell Goodbye.

Was a Great Simple Workable Product. Now is a Poor excuse of a Product with Change for the Sake of Change.

No Longer Good Value for Money

I’ve used Xero since the early days and have recommended it to many other business owners over the years. One of the reasons I became such a strong supporter was because the platform felt simple, practical, and easy to use.

Now it feels like too much time and effort is being spent on redesigning dashboards and adding features that are unnecessary or more convoluted than what existed before. In my view, the current dashboard works perfectly well. It is familiar, efficient, and does not need to be replaced.

What is most frustrating is not just the change itself, but the lack of choice. Rather than allowing customers to keep using the dashboard that already works for them, Xero appears to be deciding that everyone must move to the new version whether it improves their workflow or not. That does not feel customer-focused.

Please stop fixing things that are not broken. Many of us chose Xero because it saved time, reduced friction, and made business admin easier. Constant changes to core areas like the dashboard do the opposite.

To be honest, this direction is now making me question whether Xero is still the right tool for my business.

Overly cluttered, not necessary.Please make sure we can go to the sizing.It was perfect before. Accounting works on focusing on one area at a time!

Would like to see a total cash position widget like the phone app that totals all accounts up

I have been using Xero for almost 8 years. This new dashboard is overly busy and counterproductive. This is the worst update I have ever encountered using Xero. Please see sense and keep the old version until you can create something more practical for actual business owners. I am starting to be concerned that Xero may succumb to Doctorow's "Enshittification".

The new layout is a car crash. It looks lovely on the demo company, but on a company with lots of bank accounts it's hopeless.

You can't fix anything in place so nothing is where you leave it. It takes far longer to work through the widgets, find each bank account and reconcile it rather than just working your way down the list. Please please put it back or at least offer a way to pin the position of widgets so we can put them in to a sensible order

For the love of God, please add a setting to pin the modules in place on the new homepage. I change my browser window sizes all the time, which means that if I'm using the 'new' homepage view, everything moves around every time and I have to waste brain power on finding what I'm looking for instead of relying on it being in the same place every time. It's unbelievable that you're forcing this new design on people without having the option to pin things in place. I just want the same windows as I have with the old layout in the same location on the screen, no matter the size of the window.

Why change it?
It seems like change for the sake of it - an illusion of improvement that is in fact worse. The end user establishes fast efficient habits from familiarity and then you ***** it up.
Your rubbish 'new invoicing' is a case in point. Which is still glitchy, makes unwanted changes or fails to implement stored preferences. Billing is unchanged and sadly reminds me how easy and reliable 'old invoicing' used to be..
You are enshittifying Xero

Stop changing the website. When it stops becoming convenient, I stop being a customer. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. We have been having to relearn your website every couple months since September of 2025.

Have you never heard the expression 'If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it' definitely applies in this instance.

App Devs should always have an option for the 'classic' layout permanently available, no one wants a new layout designed by people who only develop the product and don't actually use the product. Everything in the new layout is too big & noisy.

100% agree with recent comments - Xero, please let us access the old home page. The new home page is hopeless! Xero - are you listening?

Ugh, I've just - in good faith - tried again.

I thought that maybe after the influx of comments it might have been improved. But nope! Awful.

Nothing stays where it's put. Even after removing a load of things I neither want or need, in the hopes of creating more space.

Kelly, this new layout is horrendous! It screws the eyes and the brain. Please, either enable us to truly customise it to our own preferences - not just Xero's interpretation of what that should be, or allow us to keep the current version.

This feels like 'new' invoicing, all over again (which, by the way, I still loathe).

Kelly Munro, You completely miss the point. WE DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THE NEW EXPERENCE! We like the old landing page and hate the new. So WHY are you continuing to force us to the new page?

Hate the new home page - simple is always best. For those that like the changes, they should be able to keep it. For those that prefer simplicity, we should be able to keep the option to retain the old home page

Months of comments below and nothing has improved - very disappointing.

This will continue to alienate those of us who used to think positively of Xero as our 'go-to' cloud accounting solution.

The lack of interaction from Xero on this forum is an example of what not to do when it comes to customer service!

Go back to the old layout - the new one is truly horrendous - so much information on one page. It's not required

Please no more changes, I do not want to have to redo my homepage again. It has taken months to reassemble my widgets I do not want to have widgets disappear, have ones I don’t want appear, have features I use and appreciate vanish, have widgets mysteriously change position (as they do now).
Having to readjust to a new set of interface criteria every few months is time consuming, frustrating and counter intuitive to the whole purpose of Xero.
Like so many others, I don’t like the new interface but it looks like Xero is committed to it and it won’t change back to the one that has worked so well in the past. Please let us adjust to this, make it work as best as we can before forcing more unnecessary compulsory change.
My suggestion would be to make all changes optional so those of us who would just like to get on with our work in Xero and not fuss around with cosmetics can do so and those who want the experience of something new and shiny can have fun with the new layout.
Bring back the pre-Feb layout.

Come on Xero, listen to your users - the option to keep the old homepage is a must
