Week Eleven- Dana Mikaelian

One of my favorite websites is Urbanoutfitters.com. Not only is it creative and aesthetically pleasing, it's extremely organized. The front page always features special events or sales that the store is promoting, and fun things for visitors to look at such as ipod/laptop skins artists designed for the store, or a trend that is going to be popular for the season to come. The menu toolbar contains links to many different pages on the website, and separates it into men, women, sales, home decor, etc. There is basically no way anyone could get lost on this site. Also, once you click on these tabs, the website is organized even more by the type of clothing or decor, price, style, etc. Another thing that I really enjoy about Urbanoutfitters.com is there is always a link to the new stuff they put on the website everyday, so you don't have to waste time looking at items you've already seen. There are also links to Urban Outfitters' blog and other external sites. The website also changes the style often to give it a new and fresh look that stands out from most other sites.

  1. I definitely think the urban outfitters site is pleasing to the eye. My only complaint is that the icons are way to small when you actually view the clothes. I think the site should give options for how many items to include on the page. This would allow the consumer to view the products more easily.

  2. I love Urban Outfitters just to start! But on a serious note, the website is organized pretty well. I feel that a buyer can see everything they need to see before they purchase an item. I think it is a very well organized website.
