We always appreciate feedback from our community, and we appreciate your comments regarding the new homepage. We understand that it’s a big change, and want to share some of the thoughts that went into the design process.
Our primary goal is to make the homepage more democratic. The homepage has been a major pain point of our community for many years. We’ve heard that more sellers would like the opportunity to have their items featured on the front page. The old experience allowed, at most, a few hundred sellers to be featured a day, while our new design will allow thousands of sellers to be featured constantly, personalized to the tastes of buyers.
The new homepage will allow buyers to have very personalized shopping experiences, and to see more of the wonderful shops and items that they already love. We’ve seen very positive results so far with the personalized homepage. Buyers are already favoriting more items and shops, and they’re looking at more listings in the marketplace. We want to give as many buyers exposure to as many shops as possible before the holiday season.
We understand that many teams build Treasuries together as a way of building community and of promoting your businesses—and we want to continue to give you tools to support this activity. One of the main improvements we are focused on is the development of Team Pages (https://www.etsy.com/help/article/5211). Teams can collaboratively build curated lists on Team Pages — and, like Treasuries, you can promote them together to help buyers discover your shops.
Treasuries that have been created or favorited by members will appear for those members and their followers on the new personalized homepages. If you enjoy creating Treasuries together, please continue to create and promote them across all the places shoppers go for inspiration, but we encourage you to check out the Team Pages feature as well.
We're always listening — please contact us at our help center with additional feedback: https://www.etsy.com/help/contact. Thanks again for the feedback, and for being part of the Etsy community.
Sincerely,
The Etsy Team
