However, the catalog is exactly two clicks away from either page (or this one, for that matter): in the top menu bar, click Search, then choose Catalog.

    Firstly, "Welcome" to this "FamilySearch" ( "GetStaisfaction" ) 'Feedback' Forum.

    Secondly, "Official 'FamilySearch' Representatives", do monitor; and, sometimes, participate in, this Forum.

    Thirdly, I am just another User/Patron, just like yourself (and, happen to be a Member of the Church).

    Many Users/Patrons who regularly participate in this Forum who have a great deal of knowledge and experience with "FamilySearch", like to assist/help other Users/Patrons like yourself.

    Finally, you are not alone ...

    My post of 28 Days ago:
    FamilySearch. NEW 'Top' Line Menu is very "Disappointing". 'Web" version is NOT like "Mobile" Application; &, should not need to appear so!
    https://getsatisfaction.com/familysea...

    And, in relation to "... the previous home page where you can immediately GO TO search the catalog, or the records, or etc ..."; particularly, starting from 'W David's' "Reply", of 27 Days ago, of ... "More salt to wound!"!
    https://getsatisfaction.com/familysea...

    Like you, some (not all) of us are NOT 'Happy'.

    I also do not like the new home page. I'd rather I could choose my home page or put it back the way it was before.

    @G M D

    FYI

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    The problem/issue is, that 'FamilySearch', is an 'Umbrella' Programme, for a NUMBER of Smaller Programmes.

    eg.

    ▬ "Family Tree" (ie. the SINGLE "One" World "Tree") and,

    ▬ "Search" (Records)

    ▬ "Genealogies" (ie. 'Standalone', as is [ie. Uneditable], "Pedigrees", rather than a SINGLE "One" World "Tree")

    ▬ "Catalogue", of Records

    ▬ "Indexing", of Records

    ▬ "Research Wiki'

    ▬ And, Others ...

    The real 'Question' is: WHO do you please.

    Currently, the BULK Part of "Home"/"Landing" page/screen, suits those using the "Family Tree" programme.

    As, there are MANY, from ALL around the World, that use the "Family Tree" programme.

    Which, is the principle reason, that the Church, even created 'FamilySearch'.

    Whereas, the OTHER Programmes, CAN be easily accessed, through the TOP Line Menu.

    Again ...

    WHO do you please ...

    Just my thoughts.

    Brett
