Nowadays I'll commence a series of articles matching how a modern site called PissedConsumer.com created by and for consumers' stacks up against the industry experienced Consumer Reports. Will the beginner be able to struggle against the veteran?
You will see the dissimilarity at once when you try to load the same elements of these websites. That is obvious that Consumer Reports is designed by true experts and has quite pleasant look. The main colors which are used during the designing of interface are grey, white and blue. The main page comprises a lot of images and links which are connected to some short articles. The interface of Pissed Consumer includes basically red and white tones that make it look great. However, their site does not have the same professional sensation to it as Consumer Reports. This is the result of many advertisement banners placed on the main page that are powered by Google. Additionally, while there are many links, there are no images and the font used is not completely uniform making reading a bit hard on the eye. The website does comprise two particularly useful sections. One is a lately discussed bar which displays you the articles or complaints with the latest comments to them. Another is a “hot topics” section with one word links to the subject. One insignificant drawback of the hot topics part is that font utilized there is actually small to distinguish it easily.
For the consumer who visits Consumer Reports at the first time it is actually simply to find some needed topics as they are strictly divided into several main themes. The main page was also kept up to date information that was relevant to the latest published issue of Consumer Reports Magazine. The site of the Pissed Consumer also has got quite interesting construction but it is more difficult to utilize. The front page contains the most recently created complaints and reviews which may be a bit confusing to a first time visitor. The right side does contain a basic roll of categories but they are wide without an ability to make them more specific. Luckily, both resources do feature a handy search option in case you can't find what you're looking for on the main page. It's also important to note that while at first glance Consumer Reports seems to have a larger range of produce information, this is not right. Pissed Consumer doesn't propose an appropriate menus that is why it seems to be less useful, but it actually may brag of lots of unique and really useful information.
Those websites cover approximately the identical range of themes of topics but Consumer Report seems to be better organized and attentive for its clients. It means that customer has an opportunity to find needed information in considerably shorter terms. Our little comparison demonstrates that Pissed Consumer is not so handy and involving for clients as Consumer Reports does.
