Week #3 Two Websites I Visit Frequently


Amazon is effective because they have everything that you could ever want as a consumer.  They are a one stop shop.
They display their logo at the top left, and all of their navigation is at the top, with a large search bar.  The typography and hierarchy are easy to follow.
I keep coming back because they make it very easy to compare prices and offer good reviews of products all on 1 website.  They always seem to have what I’m looking for.
The only thing I could improve on is I don’t like all of their promotions hitting me on the home page when I first log into the site.  I understand it, I just don’t have to like it.

Google is effective because they are my go to website when I want answers to just about anything.  I understand they are a search engine as well, and probably the best search engine.
Google keeps it simple for their design.  However, for some of their apps, they are not intuitive at all.  They have bought or created apps that use differing approaches to how they operate, which makes them very confusing.
When I use them, I always get an answer.  I may have to restate my question a few times to find what I’m looking for, but I usually get there.

Like I stated above, some of their apps need some help with consistency in how they operate.
