After reading the first page of \u201cDon\u2019t Make Me Think\u201d, I learned that most of the eCommerce\u00a0websites are designed in the way that it should be self-evident, obvious and self-explanatory.\u00a0People using the website should be able to get it- able to know what it is and how to use it. My\u00a0recent experience about this came from gifts.com, when I bought a product from their website.<\/p>\n
The home page of the website is beautifully laid-out. It shows very nice gifts presents which can\u00a0attract the attention of the user in a few minutes. Even if someone is not willing to buy\u00a0something, he would get attracted towards it and will end up buying it. On the top left corner,\u00a0they have their website logo and on the top right, they have account registration, blog and cart.<\/p>\n
Across the top of the website is the main menu, subdivided into various different categories\u00a0including Valentine\u2019s Day, birthday, occasion, recipient, category, red envelope, and personality.\u00a0These categories are further divided into the occasion that you need to gift for and the gender to\u00a0whom you want to give the gift. It is also include the gifts according to the age of a person.\u00a0Depending upon what the user is looking for, he can easily find it from the top shopping section\u00a0of the website. Underneath the main menu, they have different kinds of gifts arranged in a\u00a0symmetrical way.<\/p>\n
I was looking a gift for my brother\u2019s birthday and eventually I found an oversize beer cup which\u00a0can be personalized as you want. I didn\u2019t order the first time when I found it, and the next time\u00a0when I wanted to order I just typed the name in the search bar on top right of the website. It was\u00a0very quick and easy to find it again and order it. Once I added the item in the cart, it asked me to\u00a0proceed to checkout or continue shopping. When I proceeded to checkout a coupon code popped\u00a0up on the screen for the promotion of their products, and helped me saving couple bucks for my\u00a0order. Checkout is also very quick and secure.<\/p>\n
I think the search keyword works the best for the website. A user can find the product that he is\u00a0looking for very easily. Also, the different gifts presented as a gallery of beautiful gifts attracts\u00a0people to buy their products which works the best for a website. I guess site make me think of\u00a0buying more and more products from their website as they are pretty cool. I don\u2019t think if I\u00a0would like to make any change in the site. I like how it is designed and programmed with all the\u00a0main buttons in the front that are subdivided into small different categories. Each category is\u00a0divided in a way that it makes a user\u2019s search easy and help him find exact what he is looking\u00a0for.<\/p>\n
The design principle and elements works very well in this website. The white background color\u00a0is suitable for this site because it helps the gifts to reflect their own color and design to get more\u00a0attention of the users. The alignment of gifts are also perfect. They all are aligned in 4 different\u00a0columns with same gap in between. Proximity is also good in between the gifts with not too\u00a0much space in between. Different colors from the gifts reflects differently all over the site on the white background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
