Yandex main page - version 11

  • From RSS
Very soon, the Yandex main page will look different. You can see the preliminary version right now on the next.yandex.ru page . Although, perhaps, you do not need to go anywhere - the new version of www.yandex.ru is already showing to several percent of users. Now we are conducting various experiments with interface solutions (in general, every change on the main page is accepted only after experiments involving a small fraction of the audience).


After testing, the main page will be updated for all users. In the final version, we will try to take into account your wishes and suggestions - you can express them in the comments on the post and on the feedback page. Recall that last time the “voice of the people” quite seriously affected the final appearance of the main page.

We announced the transition to the tenth version more than two years ago . All these two and a half years we have been constantly introducing small improvements. The same thing will happen with the new version.

We will not list all the differences between version 11 and version 10 - we hope that it will not be difficult to make out them. We note the two most important ones:
  • Regional display below the search bar. It contains links and widgets of services related to your city. People come to the Yandex main page not only to search for information on the Internet, but also to see answers to unanswered questions. The regional board answers the question: “What is happening in my city now?” - for example, what is the weather, how are things going with traffic jams.
    'City Scoreboard' on the Yandex homepage
  • More air. The main page has become even easier to view, and at the same time free space for widgets.

Someone will say: “Yandex as Yandex.” And, in general, he will be right. Our position with respect to mass services is as follows: any changes should take into account traditional user scenarios. People who see the new main page should find on it everything that they are used to. Therefore - evolution instead of revolution.

Waiting for your feedback!.
