The Confrontation of Two Giants In Area of Consumers' Reviews

Posted by admin

This article is dedicated to the confrontation of two rival websites that offer a lot of customers' opinions about different produces and services. These sites are named PissedConsumer.com and Consumer Reports. So what will be the characteristic which may bring victory to one of these websites?

When you load up the sites simultaneously, the differences are quite obvious. If we compare the looks we will realize that Consumer Reports has a bit simpler but more professional design. The main colors which are utilized during the designing of interface are grey, white and blue. Here you can find a huge amount of different links and images that are completed with small stories. The interface of Pissed Consumer comprises mainly red and white colors which make it look great. However, their website does not have the same professional feel to it as Consumer Reports. This feeling is a consequence of many different advertisements placed on every part of the site. The webpage that comprises lots of links and no pictures is always harder to browse and your eyes ought to be always strained to look for the needed information. The website does contain two specifically helpful sections. Recently created reviews and complaints from the consumers can be simply found by usage of the first section. The second section displays the most popular discussions and it is called “hot topics”. One insignificant drawback of the hot topics section is that size of the font used there is too small to distinguish it easily.

Consumer Reports pleasantly amazed me by their well organized construction. There are some broad topics that are subdivided on some more narrowly directed. There is a Consumer Reports Magazine, but there are a lot of articles on their website that include the discussions of the issues located in this magazine. The arrangement of Pissed Consumer is also quite proper but it has some evident drawbacks. A lot of people who visit this website at the first time complain about a great deal of bad organized information that confused them at once. There is a wide spectrum of articles located on it in the right side of the front page, but there is no strict classification that makes it less efficient. Fortunately, both resources do feature a handy search option if you can't find what you're looking for on the main page. It's also important to mention that while at first glance Consumer Reports seems to have a wider range of product information, this is not true. Pissed Consumer doesn't provide a proper menus that is why it seems to be less useful, but it actually may brag of a lot of unique and truly useful information.

All in all, while both websites cover the same range of matters, it seems that Consumer Reports is the website with better ease of usage and organization. It allows the client to quickly and effectively search out the data which they are looking for. Our little comparison displays that Pissed Consumer is not so comfortable and attractive for visitors as Consumer Reports does.
