The All New GoSquared Homepage
To signify the changes we're making to GoSquared, the new homepage has just gone live.
You will notice we have moved to a wider layout, after a good long debate between ourselves. We questioned the problems this could cause to some users if their screens were not large enough. So we carried out some research, and concluded that only 0.88% of visitors viewing GoSquared on their desktop had screens below 1024 pixels wide. The new homepage fits nicely on all screens including and above 1024 pixels wide.
We have also included a little personalization for our loyal members: when you sign in you are now greeted on the homepage. A lot of people were struggling to find the Control Panel to monitor their Squares, so you can now go directly to your Control Panel with one click [this only shows when you are logged in].
All in all, we hope you like the new home of GoSquared, and we look forward to bringing you more goodies soon!

Wait for more, Val! That's just one image we're using right now. The new home page is larger so we can bring more impressive images to the front of the site.
We have a bigger canvas.

I think it works. Your readers are more tech savvy so their prone to having larger screens -- if not more than one. You could probably even go wider but don't know if it would really add to the experience and/or usability.
Heck, if you're going to go squared, might as well go wide.
