Well thank you for your support and business at BuyPND.com, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your visits there with it's good looks and smooth experience! I must admit those qualities were assured by the Pandacoin Development team, they have a high standard and made sure of the professional looking as well as working results. I owe a special thanks to Bdanyo for his oversight and guidance on the project, my original functional model of BuyPND.com was quite ugly actually. I appreciate your frankness and input for UsePND.com too, as it is a more complicated work in progreess however it may take a bit more time before it grows out of the ugly duckling stage. Wink

Yes it is derived from a combination of wordpress components, and we have made no effort to hide that so far. For UsePND.com I have taken more of an engineers approach, by sewing together a basic theme some plugins and then concentrating on only a limited amount of custom code to add our own specialized functionality. So far the result is not a fully polished attractive site, but a unique yet very functional sight that could be assembled and made operational and safely useful quickly. For now learning from the entire development / operational experience as well as all the feedback we receive, especially from UsePND.com members has been very rewarding. We will continue to listen intently to all of you who have tried UsePND.com even Paying you some Pandacoins for your comments if your registered, your input and the feedback of the Pandacoin devs and Pandacoin comunity as a whole will be important considerations for it's future evolution. I personally actually prefer UsePND.com to grow and evolve a bit on the slow side for the moment, it is for us still a fun place to try out and experiment with new features and even whole new concepts, while still being a quite useful and reliable place to Use your Pandacoins in various ways.

Best regards,
John Moore

Hi Jommy, thanks for operating buypnd.com, purchases couple hundred dollars worth there, and it's been a smooth experience so far.

Question for you - do you have any plans to upgrade usepnd.com and give the website a much needed makeover? Currently the user experience is really sloppy and it looks unprofessional - world's apart from the impression that buypnd.com gives.

Current thoughts -

-Too many menu items, rule of thumb for most websites is consolidate it to under 5, with drop down menus
- Lack of branding for the site - looks like an obvious cheap wordpress website (forgive me, but hope you can take the constructive criticism since buypnd.com looks so nice).
- Need a logo created for your website, and not use the coinpayments.net one
- Footer is messy and does not provide optimal navigation for users

Looking forward to your response

Thanks for getting back Jommy. You'll get more users and credibility if it looks more clean and professional since you can purchase things on there. But awesome to hear that you're developing it. Thanks for your contributions to the community!
