Nowadays there are two sites in the field of customers' opinions that are true opponents. The website that is a beginner in that field named PissedConsumer.com attempts to get more visitors than its opponent Consumer Reports has got. What will be the crucial factor, the fervor or the experience?
When you load up the sites simultaneously, the dissimilarities are quite obvious. In case we compare the appearances we will see that Consumer Reports has a bit plainer but more professional interface. The site has got a simple but clean interface using grey, white, blue, and a light touch of red. There are lots of links, pictures, and a scrolling window with top articles framing the page. The appearance of Pissed Consumer is also pleasant as it is adorned with light red and white hues. Nevertheless, their site does not have the identical professional sensation to it as Consumer Reports. This is the consequence of many advertisement banners located on the main page that are supplied by Google. By the way, while there are many links, there are no images and the font utilized is not completely uniform making reading a bit difficult on the eye. If we speak about structure, the site comprises two useful sections. The first section significantly eases the action of searching for some recently discussed reviews and complaints. The other is a “hot topics” section with single word links to the topic. One insignificant drawback of the hot topics part is that font used there is too small to distinguish it easily.
Consumer Reports pleasantly amazed me by their nicely arranged construction. There are some wide topics that are subdivided on some more narrowly directed. There is a Consumer Reports Magazine, but there are a lot of articles on their webpage that include the discussions of the issues placed in that magazine. From the other side, while Pissed Consumer was organized, it was to a much lesser degree. The main page contains the most lately posted complaints and articles which can be a bit confusing to a first time visitor. There is a broad spectrum of topics located on it in the right side of the front page, but there is no strict classification which makes it less efficient. Fortunately, both websites do feature a comfortable search system in case you can't find what you're looking for on the front page. Lots of Internet clients that are offered to visit these sites at the first time announce that Consumer Reports comprises more information than Pissed Consumer. Pissed Consumer has got more subdivisions that include more information than Consumer Reports but it is harder to find exactly what you need due to quite not understandable interface.
Overall, while both sites cover the identical range of topics, it seems that Consumer Reports is the site with better ease of use and organization. It allows the user to quickly and effectively find the information which they are looking for. Pissed Consumer isn't bad but its clunky interface and advertisements keep it far from greatness.
