Quick Site Maintenance Window - Saturday 2am ET

We used to do a lot of site maintenance wherein we'd take Etsy down for periods of time. We've been enjoying quite a respite, but tonight (early Saturday morning, really) we need to do some preventative work on one of our databases. It requires taking the site down, so we're loath to do this. At 2:00 a.m. ET (view in your time zone here) we're going to take the site offline while we do this work. While it's likely to take 20 minutes, it could take as long as an hour.

You can also keep up to date on site news on our new Etsy Status blog at http://www.etsystatus.com. Some of you who are familiar with the fix.etsy.com blog know that we've used it to communicate those things in the past, and we'll post updates there as well tonight. The Etsy Status blog will also tweet for all updates to the @EtsyStatus account on Twitter.

Search Results Page Renovation Continues

As part of our ongoing project to widen the site, we will soon be updating the search results on Etsy to the new, wider template. This comes on the heels of the widened home page.

As with the new home page, the new search results will feature larger gallery images as well as a cleaner, simpler look. Under the hood, we're continuing to make changes that will make the site easier to maintain and more accessible, as well as preparing for international versions of the site down the road.

Look for more pages to be updated to the new wider design this summer.
