Today I'll be starting a sequence of articles comparing how a modern website called PissedConsumer.com developed by and for customers' stacks up against the industry veteran Consumer Reports. So what would be the characteristic which may give victory to one of these resources?

You will see the dissimilarity at once when you try to load the same parts of those sites. That is obvious that Consumer Reports is developed by real professionals and has got quite pleasant appearance. The main colors that are used during the designing of the website are grey, white and blue. There are many links, images, and a scrolling window with the most popular stories framing the face. Pissed Consumer also utilizes a plain interface with a gorgeous red and white tone. You can mention that Consumer Reports looks considerably more professional. That is partly due to the different advertisements all over their webpage (supplied by Google). By the way, while there are many links, there are no pictures and the font used is not completely uniform making reading a little hard on the eye. In case we speak about structure, the site includes two helpful sections. One is a recently discussed bar which shows you the reviews or complaints with the newest comments to them. “Hot topics” are shown by the other section. They are demonstrated just in one word hyperlink. One insignificant disadvantage of the hot topics part is that font utilized there is actually small to distinguish it easily.

I found Consumer Reports to be excellently arranged with topics divided into wide subject natters that could then be narrowed to my specifications as required. There is a Consumer Reports Magazine, but there are many topics on their webpage that comprise the discussions of the issues placed in this magazine. The arrangement of Pissed Consumer is also quite proper but it has some obvious disadvantages. Keep in mind what occurs when you visit a site that is absolutely heaped up with a great deal of different information. Maybe you are a little perplexed. There is a wide spectrum of articles placed on it in the right side of the main page, but there is no strict classification which makes it less efficient. Fortunately, both websites do feature a handy search system if you can't find what you're looking for on the front page. There is an opinion that Consumer Reports comprises considerably greater quantity of information but it is not right, actually. Pissed Consumer doesn't provide an appropriate interface that is why it seems to be less helpful, but it actually may brag of a lot of unique and really useful information.

We can't surely determine which site gets more helpful information as they both cover almost the same matters of the articles, but we may surely announce that Consumer Report has better arrangement. It permits the visitor to quickly and effectively find the information that they are looking for. Pissed Consumer isn't bad but its clunky interface and advertisements hold it back from greatness.
