I think its an upgrade aesthetically to the original site, which could help in the long run. New users will ultimately be convinced to use the platform based on a combination of features, perceived legitimacy, and of course price. This update seems to assist in the first two.
Overall, its trading volume that will allow Crypto-Trade to survive. Volume went way down after the site froze trades for a few weeks. There needs to be an all out blitz on recovering the volume to levels at or above what is was before or the price won't track well enough.
yes the update looks good. though we have not gotten a chance to play with it i am confident in the teams site construction abilities.
But this is not enough. PLEASE do not stop at "volume to levels before," the volumes before were completely inadequate as compared to competing exchanges.
Desperately need a strong and sustained marketing campaign on multiple vectors from here on forward.
maybe consider a professional marketing team, ad space on bitcointalk, adspace on just-dice, commercial ad on Let's Talk Bitcoin, and there has to be more avenues
