| 9 | Today we are shipping a full redesign of [smbcloud.xyz](https://smbcloud.xyz) and the [smbCloud Console](https://console.smbcloud.xyz). |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ## Why we redesigned |
| 12 | |
| 13 | The old site went live fast, which was the right call at the time. It worked, but it no longer matched the product or the way people actually use smbCloud. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | We wanted the site and console to feel like the same system: clear, fast, and dependable. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ## What's new |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ### A unified design system |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The marketing site and the console now share the same design tokens, including colors, spacing, type, and component patterns. Reading about smbCloud and using it now feels more consistent. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ### Built for dark mode |
| 24 | |
| 25 | The new site defaults to dark mode. That choice is partly aesthetic, but mostly practical. A lot of people land here while fixing something late at night. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ### A cleaner homepage |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The homepage is more direct about what smbCloud does, how it works, and how to get started. The terminal demo now shows what a `smb` deploy looks like across Node.js, Swift, and Ruby. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ### Improved navigation |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Posts, KTI, and the Console link are always close by. The header stays visible without getting in the way. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ### siGit |
| 36 | |
| 37 | We also added a proper section for [siGit Code & Deploy](https://apps.apple.com/se/app/sigit-git-client-code-editor/id6753018849), our native app for iOS, Android, and Windows. It brings Git, editing, and deployments into one place. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | ## What didn't change |
| 40 | |
| 41 | The platform itself. Deployments work the same way. Your SSH keys, projects, and apps are all where you left them. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ## What's next |
| 44 | |
| 45 | We are working on better docs, a smoother onboarding flow for new projects, and tighter links between the console and the CLI. |
