At deviantART, we obsess about two things all day, every day: llamas (we're addicts), and how to make your deviantART experience the best it can be. We know every pixel counts when it comes to exhibiting your work, and we take great pride in knowing that you've chosen deviantART to share your art. With the launch of deviantART v7 and our new Super Browse feature, we're solidifying our place as the best way to exhibit your art on the Internet.

The thin navigation in v7 was designed specifically to minimize visual overload, streamline navigation, and help our community's amazing artwork take center stage. It's thinner, and as a result you see more artwork.

On profile, groups, and deviation pages, the new format puts more focus on avatars and artwork. It's designed to work better on more devices and promote greater feedback. We also added a slick comment reminder when people +fav your deviations!

The new navigation paddles on the sides of deviation pages — also accessible by hitting left and right arrow keys on your keyboard — are designed to give deviation pages a cleaner navigation to cycle through more artwork faster. The new thumbstrip supports the quick viewing of multiple deviations so you can get to the artwork you enjoy.

DeviantART is one of our most stumbled sites, and the new version is slick!

DeviantART is my first and last stop on the web because I find inspiration here. Version 7 makes it easier than ever to travel through artists' studios on a world-wide scale. I'll travel further than ever in the same amount of time. Well done, guys!

I am truly digging the new version of deviantART! The new scroll feature in the gallery makes it easier to look through artwork and expand for easier viewing. Incorporating this into the journals and Message Center is just icing on the cake. And the new drop down menus and simpler page header is a great addition to making our pages easier to navigate and maintain. Keep it up dA, you have a loyal patron for life!

Love it...nice use of cursors (zoom!) and details. I really respect when teams distill a cleaner UI after a product has been shipping for a while. It's very easy to add buttons and menus, and very hard to pick what's important and do it better.

...The 'Super Browse' feature is a really powerful new way to explore deviantART so you can appreciate very quickly the passion and creativity that exists there. DeviantART has truly empowered a rich and diverse global community of 21st century mark makers…

It's easy for us to toot our own horns, so see what these industry experts have to say about the new deviantART experience:

Overall, we've saved a whopping 148px in height on the browse pages. That's an extra row of thumbs displayed above the fold at our default page size. We've simplified the layout, removing 50% of the horizontal and vertical separations on the browse page. V6 has ten divided visual sections, while v7 has just five — appearing approximately 30% larger than before.

Profile and group pages are now 60px further up the page. Avatars and names now take ownership of the top of the page like never before. The v7 header is now the same height as the deviantART iPhone/Mobile site's header. This makes it possible for a similar experience on any platform (desktop, iPad, iPhone).
