Finn.no homepage: from reflection to action
After having reflected upon the new Finn.no homepage, I have taken a few minutes (literally) to mock up how I would rather imagine Finn.no homepage. I have followed Espen’s suggestions as regards the icons, and a perhaps conservative approach to information structure:
