Review 1

I choose Fab for my review. Fab is a ecommerce site with a wide variety of products from technology like usb phone charging cables to home decor items such as candles.  Overall the site has an upper class fashion approach to everyday items.

The sites navigation is standard placing its global navigation both on a bar across the top of the page and in its footer.  Each global nav button is separated into broad categories that once are hovered over then show a dropdown of narrowed options.  The first global nav button is the “All Collections” that once clicked shows all eighty-three product narrowed categories presented in alphabetical order.  My first questions to this was “How many are there?” and “Why are there two identical bowls and plates options?”. This makes me feel the site is not managed and kept up to date, but overall did not hinder me finding anything.  This thought was also supported by the zero items in the flash-drive section, where it also questions me to why it says “Showing items 1-0 of 0’. This made me think slightly that the site was bugged and was not showing the one flash drive that they have.  The other global nav categories ar mostly self explanatory, except for a bit of confusion and searching for differences in the “Home Accents” and “Dining & Entertainment” sections where there could be sections swapped interchangeable.

Overall the website Fab did not make me think in a critical way when it came to navigation.  Only quick questions of its management and updates. The sites theme of clean black and white colors, seems to match with the intentions of being an outlet for fashionable options for everyday items.
