Landing page when signed out

This was discussed earlier but why are two categories "transportation and Industry" still being omitted from the list of categories on the landing page?


This was pointed out during an earlier discussion, is this intentional?  If so, why?  These are popular categories and should have their place with the others.


 

HQ will u please at least say you are aware of this omission?

Why do people have to scroll to see the bottom? Why is it designed to only be viewable on a 30-inch monitor? Why is it a vertical design when nearly every display on the planet is horizontal? Maybe it was designed with tablets in mind but then, other than rotating, why doesn't it adapt the scale or anything else for mobile devices? Why do the mouseovers just turn into a bland solid color? Why isn't there any moving imagery? Even changing stills?

There's an open thread here discussing the landing page, no need to duplicate things:

New Home Page for iStockphoto.com

As for why they may not have picked someone's favoured topic, I have no idea, but given that there is a limited amount of space, I'd guess they chose the ones that were most searched for. If anyone has any feedback on the home page, please add them to the existing thread.

Thanks.
