I decided to look at Shutterfly.com for my monthly review. Overall, this website is visually appealing and very easy to follow. At the very top they have different categories, and if you hover over them there are more options you can click on. They also have the discounts that they are currently offering at the top so you can see them easily. Also, on the front page they have different sections that include just for you, Valentine’s Day, and refresh your wall space, all of these feature a few products. However, on the homepage I would have made the search bar bigger so it draws your eye to it instead of it being tucked in the top right corner.
I decided to look at the wall art section, for a present for my mom’s birthday. She wants a picture with all her kid that she can hang in the living room. Since I didn’t know exactly what I wanted I clicked the general wall art tab instead of one of the sections within the drop-down menu. On the wall art page they have example of the different types of photos you can get. I decided to look at the photo tiles and it brought me to a page with all the different styles of photo tiles they have.
After looking though, the different options I chose the Caption Hero Gallery of Four Metal Photo Tile. I liked the style of this one the most for what I wanted it to look like. After selecting that option, I had to personalize it by putting the photos I wanted in. This process was very easy, all I had to do was click add photo and upload the ones I wanted. Then I could place them in the slots I wanted and how I wanted them there. After personalizing it all I had to do was click add to cart, and I was brought to the checkout page which is like any other online shopping site.
In the end I think that Shutterfly has a super easy to use website, that makes it easy to achieve exactly what you want. I liked that even though I didn’t know what I wanted I could easily look at the options in the different sections.
