Website Review

Amazon is a website that many are familiar with. It is a website that not only looks good visually, but is also extremely functional and easy to use. When on Amazon I searched for new wheels for my car (I am in need of summer wheels so I no longer have to pay the fee to have my tires switched twice a year). The search bar was simple to find. At the top of the page there is an add for Amazon itself and underneath is a blue section with deals and the option to set up an account. In the upper left hand side of the bar there is a white search bar with different category options. The way the webpage is set up your eye is instantly drawn to the search bar. This is helpful for those who are in a hurry and want to find what they are looking for quickly.

Whenever I searched for my wheels at first I did not chose a department in which to search, and obviously I did not find what I was looking for. On the left hand side I was given the option to narrow down my search. Using this function I was able to narrow down the search field. In the automotive section I was able to put in which car I have and narrow it down to what would fit. This whole process took less than 10 minutes and I was able to find the wheels that I wanted.

Not once during this experience did I feel confused or frustrated. I did an experiment in which I had my five year old cousin search for a tablet and he was able to find what I told him to with little to no guidance. All in all Amazon is a very viewer friendly website that is simple to use and very well made.
