Some Web Sources that Contain A Lot of Consumer Reviews
Today there are two websites in the area of consumers' views that are true rivals. The website which is a rookie in this field called PissedConsumer.com tries to gain more clients than its rival Consumer Reports has. Will the newcomer be able to struggle against the giant?
You will see the dissimilarity at once when you try to load the same parts of these websites. It's directly apparent that Consumer Reports has a slicker and more professional look. The main colors that are utilized during the creating of interface are grey, white and blue. Here you can see a great deal of different links and images that are completed with short articles. The interface of Pissed Consumer comprises mainly red and white tones which make it look perfectly. However, their site does not have the same professional feel to it as Consumer Reports. That is the consequence of many advertisement banners located on the main page that are supplied by Google. The webpage that comprises a lot of links and no images is always harder to browse and your eyes ought to be always strained to search for the required data. In case we speak about structure, the site comprises two useful sections. One is a recently discussed bar that shows you the articles or complaints with the newest comments to them. “Hot topics” are displayed by the other section. They are demonstrated just in one word hyperlink. I only wanted the font of the hot topics section was larger so it would be easier to distinguish the words.
I found Consumer Reports to be perfectly arranged with topics classified into wide topics that could then be narrowed to my nuances as needed. There is a Consumer Reports Magazine, but there are many topics on their website that include the discussions of the issues placed in this magazine. The website of the Pissed Consumer also has got quite interesting structure but it is more difficult to utilize. Remember what occurs when you visit a site which is absolutely heaped up with a huge amount of various data. Probably you are a bit perplexed. The right side does comprise a main roll of categories but they are wide without an ability to make them more specific. Both sites comprise some excellent searching engines which make the navigation processes performed by users really easy. Lots of Internet users that are proposed to visit these websites at the first time mention that Consumer Reports includes more information than Pissed Consumer. Pissed Consumer has got more subdivisions which comprise more information than Consumer Reports but it is harder to find precisely what you need due to quite not comprehensible design.
All in all, while both sites cover the identical range of matters, it seems that Consumer Reports is the site with better ease of usage and arrangement. So, it wouldn't take a lot of time to find the information you are interested in. That feature attracts a lot of visitors. Pissed Consumer isn't bad but its awkward interface and advertisements hold it far from greatness.
