The design of the homepage is beautiful and I look forward to seeing this same design translated to the rest of Wesabe (any idea when?). I agree that the images should show more diversity and represent all Wesabe users but that topic aside, the activities and energy of them were well chosen. Nice job Wesabe.

You're totally right about that photo and the housing market -- good point. We'll change it. @nathan – yup, that’s the plan.

It's great that you're opening up the home page photo section to Wesabe members: true to the social aspect of Wesabe. Unfortunately, as much as I love the homepage photo featured in this post, "Live a wealthier life", I would recommend choosing a different one. Since we can't see the couple's expressions, it could easily be construed as a home foreclosure in our current financial crisis!

So will the inside of the site catch up to the outside design-wise next? ;) Great. So will the inside of the site catch up to the outside design-wise next? ;)

Sorry about that. We'll make a change. I would love it if the photos reflected the people on the site, not just a better diversity of stock photos. While it's our responsibility, we'd welcome submissions of goal shots that helped with this. Thanks. @Brinstar, yes, that’s true. Sorry about that. We’ll make a change.

Where are the people of colour? The stock photos are nice and all, but the people in them don’t reflect any diversity at all. Where are the people of colour?
