Current article is dedicated to the confrontation of two competitive websites that propose a lot of customers' comments about different productions and services. These sites are called PissedConsumer.com and Consumer Reports. So what would be the characteristic that can give victory to one of these websites?

The first test is very simple and you can perform it on your own: simply load those sites simultaneously. It's directly apparent that Consumer Reports has a slicker and more professional look. The site has got a simple but clean design utilizing grey, white, blue, and a light tone of red. The main page comprises lots of images and links which are related with some little articles. Pissed Consumer also utilizes a simple interface with a gorgeous red and white tone. You will mention that Consumer Reports looks significantly more professional. This is the result of many advertisement banners placed on the main page which are powered by Google. Some designers do not believe the fact that too many links with no pictures will repulse and customers wouldn't want to deal with the website again. There are two sections that are really useful. One section considerably simplifies the action of seeking for some recently discussed reviews and complaints. The second section shows the most popular topics and it is called “hot topics”. I just wished the size of the font of the hot topics section was bigger so it would be easier to distinguish the words.

I found Consumer Reports to be excellently organized with topics divided into broad topics that could then be narrowed to my nuances as needed. There is a Consumer Reports Magazine, but there are a lot of topics on their website which include the discussions of the issues placed in this magazine. The arrangement of Pissed Consumer is also quite proper but it has got some obvious drawbacks. A lot of people that visit this website at the first time complain about a huge amount of bad arranged data that confounded them at once. There is a board that includes lots of topics. This board is actually flaring but the articles are not classified by their matters appropriately. Luckily, both resources do feature a comfortable search system if you can't seek what you're looking for on the front page. It's also important to note that while at first glance Consumer Reports seems to have a wider range of product information, that is not true. Pissed Consumer covers every single category which Consumer Reports does, but its menu interface is not as easy to use, making it harder to find what you're searching for.

Overall, while both sites cover the identical range of topics, it seems that Consumer Reports is the site with better ease of usage and organization. It means that customer has an opportunity to get required information in considerably shorter terms. Our small comparison displays that Pissed Consumer is not so comfortable and involving for clients as Consumer Reports does.
