Well-designed websites blog #2

Blog 2 Amazon

I believe Amazon to be an incredible website with a very sleek layout design. It has absolutely everything you’d ever want in a site and more. It offers you a litany of products divided into departments and a generalized search box. It is very easy to navigate. When you find the product you desire an entire list of places are displayed upon which you can choose the business you would like to order the product from based on price, proximity or customer reviews. You are also provided the option of purchasing a used version of the product to save money. What captivates me the most about this site is how beautiful the layout is. It is so easy to use even a beginner computer user could browse with ease. Graphics cover the entire span of the page and serve as invitations to click and learn more about products. The colors are vibrant and flowing. It is an easy place to burn through cash quickly and learn more about products. It has no shortage of resources. They even stream video, adding further visual enticement. It also provides suggestions of products you may like based upon purchases and what you have previously viewed. It bares all the hallmarks of online shopping with ease. This site is wonderful in how well it is constructed and should serve as a model for other sites in becoming successful. Visit Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/ to check it out for yourself.

Blog 2 Drudge        Drudge Report is another site that I enjoy the page layout of, but this choice has to do with simplicity. It is very minimalist, which I truly love. the layout consists of random strings of text from news stories that link to other websites. The written words pulled from a story are quotes and serve as invitations to click and discover more. The are times when I don’t feel like being blindsided with tons of visuals when seeking news. The idea of just reading strands of text, remind me of the days when I would scroll through online newsgroups. There are only a few images on the site at a given time. The white backdrop upon lines of captivating text, complimented by the occasional photo completely entices me. The sheer simplicity of this site overall is what makes it genuinely appealing. Words are the true essence of a story and they should ultimately be the motivating factor for the reader to want to learn more. Drudge Report capitalizes on this notion.

    I visit Amazon at least twice a day! I am always needing something from Amazon. I love how easy it is to use this site and search for nearly anything. It is always fast to load this page which is crazy because there is so much content on this website.

    I have never visited the Drudge Report website before, but I checked it out and it is very easy to navigate and has information that appeal to its audience.
