How could Xero improve the homepage?

New Home Page Feedback

Not a fan of the new home page, previous one was so much better, simple yet effective. I would much prefer to stay on the old one for good. The icons/widgets on the new page are too big and too busy. Previous page was simple and easy to navigate. As they say, don't fix something that isn't broken.

Hi team, thank you for your feedback. We have 2 main ideas that relate to the sizing of the widgets and wanting a simpler layout that I welcome you to add your support to.

However I want to be open that the new homepage will permanently become the new experience over this year. We don't accept ideas for the removal of new features, but are very open to hearing what changes you feel could better your experience of the new homepage - please feel free to start a new idea if there are other particular changes you feel could improve this experience for you.

    Agreed. I don't understand this change being forced on me. I pay for a service and you are providing a different service I don't want and didn't ask for. Your lack of understanding what customers want is showing.

    Hi! How about nothing! There was nothing wrong with the layout and forced to having to adapt to a new interface for no compelling reason is annoying. Just our 2 cents.

  • Glen Costin commented  ·   ·  Report

    New Home Page is very busy, dont like it at all, the Old Home Page is much better, certainly allowing users the choice of which layout is the best option - I would stay with the Old!

    Why offer something new if it is a backwards step for your customers?

  • Simon Sharman commented  ·   ·  Report

    Totally agree. Just stop messing with what works!

    You don't have to justify my subscription. Just leave it as it is. Me and my staff know where everything is and then you come along and change it all up. Its never even any better its just the same stuff just harder to find when I need it quickly

    Please just leave it alone

    Stop stuffing around with the homepage just to feel relevant and keep busy. Font changes are unnecessary. Shuffling things around is unnecessary and most annoying. In the old homepage I knew automatically where to find the info that matters to me, now I have to search for it. This is not an improvement. Make the “new” homepage optional for those who care about font and clutter

    Nothing wrong with the old Dashboard, why change? Not liking the smaller images on the new Homepage

  • Jessica Patterson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Have the option to "switch back to old" for dashboard permanently rather than for a limited time

    I have revisited the new website to see what it has to offer. Why do we need:
    1. such large icons, most users are not partially sighted so they take up too much of the page and so more scrolling needs to be done to get where you want.
    2. It shows unnecessary items such as the simplistic bar chart for profit and loss. If you want to see that you look at proper figures not images as they really do not tell you anything useful only an overall summary, and if you are not already aware of that you maybe should learn more about your business.
    3. There is no real need for the additional widgets as the essential features of accounting are fully covered by the simple format of the old website home page and I have never used any and prefer to make my desktop as simple as possible, just covering the essentials I need for running the accounts.

    Pretty colours do not mean anything unless you are not fully aware of what is going on.

    Actually the program could do with more functional improvements such as a clear method for reconciling unusual events, e.g. I recently received a rebate on business rates that could not be easily reconciled through the billing system and also I needed to delete the remaining bill from the local authority because the premises were sold. I ended up having to get my accountant to sort it out, which had additional cost implications.

    Keep the old version. Why do you want to mimic Quick Books?

    I really hate these changes and I don't think I'm alone!

  • Geoffrey Rae commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please leave the Home page as is. New one is ridiculous and hard to navigate. If you need to change, we should have the option of keeping the old Homepage as long as we like. Geoff

    What a bloody awful new format for the home page. I hate every aspect of it.

  • Administration MECS commented  ·   ·  Report

    couldn't agree more. there is to much going on. and you can't even delete the ones that your not interested on.

  • William Scott commented  ·   ·  Report

    Can we have an option to keep the 2025 homepage, I've looked at the new one and it doesn't offer me any improvement.

    I use it regularly but director's glance at it to check things and I will have to keep explaining the difference to them

    "if it isn't broke don't fix it"
