Many people go online shopping as a means of getting the things they need anymore. It’s quick, easy and convenient. Usually, when you go onto a website to buy things, they have many sales, deals, and coupons readily available. Personally, I’m typically drawn to any kind of sale that is presented to me on the website, whether I need the item or not (one of my biggest flaws).
Growing up before “Amazon”, we used to order a lot of useless items on “ebay”. Ebay is a website, much like “Amazon”, but not as widely used anymore. When you first go onto the website you see a large self-advertisement box that shows what deals they have going on. Under that, they have an “NBA” section, which I’m assuming is for “March Madness” which is rapidly approaching. Under that is a coupon for 20% off, and then a section on things that are trending on ebay, daily deals, and many other categories to help you navigate the website.
On top of the self-advertisement box, there are tabs and a search bar, which are fairly small compared to all of the website’s self-advertisement. I went on looking for a lavalier microphone for my filmwork. After you push the enter button to take you to find your item, the page shifts around to give you your results. Under the search bar now are options to find the item within your price range, which I like, considering I’m a college film major and don’t have a lot of money to spend on my equipment just yet. One the side of the results, they have filters, so you can find a specific brand, connectivity, type, form factor, and connectors – all of which are only specific to my search.
Being someone who is more equipped to knowing what I’m looking for, this is a very useful and handy tool. Everything is laid out simply and easy to navigate, and the aesthetic is good for keeping things simple, and not swaying to any specific gender or persons. They include pops of their logos color in their small category boxes, that are seen throughout the website homepage. On the bottom of their website, on all pages, you can find all of the information that you would ever need for the website; their social media, email,number, and various other information.
All together, it is a well put together, and reliable website. Everything is laid out in plain sight, and easy to navigate. I’ve used the website a lot in my life to buy simple things from toys, to clothes, to CDs and DVDs, to film equipment. I’ve never had any problems with finding anything I’ve needed, and have definitely spent way too much money on this website.
