Coming Soon: New 7 Cups Homepage!
We're excited to give you all a sneak peek at our new homepage that is coming within the next week or two!
We will be testing the impact of this page over the upcoming month. We hope to better highlight what 7 Cups does and the support we all provide.
Check it out!
Please share your thoughts & feedback!
@Kate this is great ! Looking forward to it !
it looks great!!
Beautiful! absolutly stunning!
I'm offended by the claim that 7cups has "300.000 trained listeners"
stop this misleading message that listeners on 7cups are trained. Completing the 10 minutes quiz in the beginning is not training. Replace it with "300.000 volunteers" ASAP
@Tschoo1 very good point.
@Tschoo1
Seconded.
@Tschoo1
Or maybe they should put a microscopic asterisk in the superscript and then write "T&C Apply" at the bottom of the page..
@Tschoo1 Maybe meeting in the middle with, "300,000 Volunteer Listeners" would work well!
@Tschoo1 there is a lot of training provided. When you become more involved you get more training in the areas you join. I have had leaders spend so much time on me when training me for teams. I have learnt so much since joining 7cups and I keep learning and growing 💓
@Cathlisa oh that's good to know.
@Cathlisa I don't want to downplay the effort that the 7cups community puts into the listeners that want to improve, however we have to differentiate between the possibility to improve and a mandatory training provided to everyone at the start.
So if we take the 300.000 number of "trained listeners" there will likely only be a fraction that takes up the ressources to improve at listening provided by others on 7cups.
And even here we have to be sceptical, because the training provided to those few who want to improve is not given by professionals, but by other volunteers, who likely were never properly trained themselves.
I have no problem with the fact that 7cups is a website made up of volunteers who are passionate about helping others and helping each other to improve with listening, however what is claimed is that 7cups is made up of 300.000 trained listeners, which is quite a stretch from the truth IMO and conveys the wrong message to the people who are seeking help on this website.
@Kate Love it!
It looks nice! In addition to the above comments, will the news articles and Stanford award icons be hyperlinked to the page so that we can read the articles/award summary?
@Emily619 I was thinking that myself!
@Emily619 I believe they will not be hyperlinked but will confirm.
Get rid of the weird stock images, and it looks perfect.
@Kate
(tl;Dr at the end)
I'm no sure about the design of the homepage... Honestly I don't think it's that bad but it seems to be that there was a bit of closeness and idk it was something that really made me feel that I was entering a safe space full of caring people (I hope it still does after it's completely made).... But I'm not sure.
Over things that I absolutely dislike about this page is that I can't seem to find the word anonymous anywhere on the homepage. Seems like 7Cups has changed it's view on anonymity of members ( and guests).( Please correct me if I am wrong...I want to be wrong about this). Above everything about 7Cups, what drove me here (and still drives so many others here) is the (or was the?.. I hope that is never the case) fact that conversations could be anonymous and i did not have to submit my email and any part of my identity to anyone. I hope they is not changing anytime (soon or not soon, it doesn't matter)...
tl;dr : I'm not impressed. I'm rather disappointed.

As said by @RarelyCharlie, I am not able to Dan of the fact that one of the first things I see on this page is the logo of the Wall Street Journal.. as av teen or adult seeking hello, I don't care about as much.
@Kate I loveeeeeeeeeeeee, I think it explains it alot better and gives more detail than our current one!! 
@MissMeghan oop, the only thing I dont think fits, is on the page with the blue and white cup, where it says "stanford winner 2016" MAYBE im just being a little picky, but the red doesnt seem to.. fit? And the fact that its tilted like that..

@Kate
Beautiful homepage. And of course, it's sporting the new app.
