Some Web Resources that Comprise A Lot of Consumer Complaints

June 13th, 2008

Nowadays I'll commence a sequence of articles matching how a modern site named PissedConsumer.com developed by and for customers' stacks up against the industry veteran Consumer Reports. Will the beginner be able to struggle against the veteran?

If you load up the websites simultaneously, the differences are quite startling. It's immediately plain that Consumer Reports has a slicker and more professional look. The site has got a simple but clear interface utilizing grey, white, blue, and a light tone of red. Here you may see a great deal of different links and pictures which are completed with short stories. The interface of Pissed Consumer comprises basically red and white colors that make it look great. You can see that Consumer Reports looks considerably more professional. This is partially because of the different advertisements all over their webpage (supplied by Google). Additionally, while there are many links, there are no images and the font utilized is not absolutely uniform making reading a little hard on the eye. If we talk about structure, the site includes two helpful sections. Recently developed reviews and articles from the customers may be simply found by usage of the first section. “Hot topics” are displayed by the other section. They are expressed only in one word link. I only wished the size of the font of the hot topics section was larger so it would be simpler to distinguish the phrases.

Consumer Reports pleasantly amazed me by their well organized structure. There are some broad topics that are subdivided on many more narrowly directed. There is a Consumer Reports Magazine, but there are a lot of topics on their webpage which include the discussions of the issues placed in this magazine. The site of the Pissed Consumer also has quite attractive construction but it is more difficult to use. A lot of customers that visit that website at the first time complain about a huge amount of bad organized information which confounded them at once. There is a board that includes a lot of articles. This board is really flaring but the topics are not classified by their matters appropriately. Fortunately, both resources do feature a comfortable search system in case 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 produce information, that is not right. Pissed Consumer doesn't propose a proper interface that is why it seems to be less useful, but it really can brag of a lot of unique and really useful information.

We can't definitely determine which website gets more useful information as they both cover nearly the same matters of the topics, but we can surely announce that Consumer Report has better organization. It permits the visitor to quickly and efficiently search out the data which they are looking for. I would rather say that Pissed Consumer has got a bit more disadvantages which brings a chance to Consumer Reports to be the best.
