What is this?
Complaining is easy. Offering solutions is the tough part. When we have an idea about how to improve a specific web site or concept, we post our pro bono "better" design comp here.
37BetterBank
We're frustrated with the online banking experience. Too many screens, too many clicks, too much confusion. But, rather than just complain, we put together our ultimate online bank "my account" page. We call it 37BetterBank and people who've seen it call it a big step forward. Visit 37BetterBank.
37BetterFedEx
Absolutely, positively confused — that's how we feel when we use FedEx's online shipment page. So, we simplified it and made it easier to use and understand. A great example of how little tweaks can make a huge difference. Visit 37BetterFedEx.
37BetterPayPal
PayPal is a simple, innovative, and successful service, but we feel that the all-important "Send Money Confirmation" screen (the screen you see right before you send someone money) could use some help. 37BetterPayPal is how we think it can be better. Visit 37BetterPayPal.
37BetterMotors
37BetterMotors is our vision for the future of automotive telematics Web sites (which barely exist today). Through a site like 37BetterMotors, a car owner would be able to perform dozens of useful tasks from home, work, or anywhere they have access to the internet. Visit 37BetterMotors.
37BetterGoogle
Google is the best search engine, but the results are only as good as the search terms you enter. How can you know if "african coffee trade" is a better search than "africa's coffee trading" when you're doing research? You can't, but Google can help. 37BetterGoogle is our vision for how Google can help. Visit 37BetterGoogle.

37Better Q&A
How do you choose which sites to redesign?
Like you, we at 37signals spend a lot of time using the web to save time and make our lives easier. Occasionally, we come across a site that does just the opposite, leaving us frustrated and confused. From these experiences, we rebuild the interfaces the way we think they should work.
Do these companies hire you for this work?
No. 37signals is not contracted to build these interfaces. Our hope, however, is that companies we examine will learn from the mistakes we point out and improve their sites for all of their customers. Of course, we'd like to be the ones that help them.
Can you help our company be better online?
Absolutely. If you like what you see in these examples and would like to hire us for a redesign or a review of your site's usability, please contact us for more information.
