Today I'll be starting a sequence of articles matching how a modern site called PissedConsumer.com developed by and for customers' stacks up against the industry veteran Consumer Reports. What will be the crucial factor, the ardor or the experience?

The first test is quite primitive and you may perform it on your own: simply load those websites simultaneously. This is obvious that Consumer Reports is designed by true professionals and has got quite pleasant appearance. The main hues that are used during the creating of interface are grey, white and blue. The main page includes lots of pictures and links that are connected to some short stories. The interface of Pissed Consumer comprises basically red and white tones which make it look perfectly. You can see that Consumer Reports looks significantly more professional. This sensation is a result of many different advertisements placed on every part of the website. The page that includes lots of links and no pictures is always harder to browse and your eyes should be always strained to look for the needed data. There are two sections which are quite helpful. The first section considerably simplifies the action of searching for some recently added articles and complaints. The other section displays the most popular topics and it is called “hot topics”. I only wanted the font of the hot topics section was larger so it would be simpler to distinguish the phrases.

For the consumer who visits Consumer Reports at the first time it is actually simply to find some needed topics as they are strictly subdivided into several main themes. The main page was also kept up to date data which was relevant to the latest published issue of Consumer Reports Magazine. The arrangement of Pissed Consumer is also quite proper but it has got some evident drawbacks. Keep in mind what happens when you visit a site that is absolutely heaped up with a great deal of different information. Maybe you are a bit perplexed. There is a broad range of articles placed on it in the right side of the main page, but there is no exact classification that makes it less effective. Luckily, both resources do feature a comfortable search system in case you can't find what you're looking for on the front page. Most of Internet users who are offered to visit these sites at the first time announce that Consumer Reports includes more information than Pissed Consumer. Pissed Consumer has got more subdivisions which include more information than Consumer Reports but it is more difficult to find precisely what you want because of quite not understandable interface.

These sites cover practically the identical range of subject matters of topics but Consumer Report seems to be better organized and attentive for its customers. It permits the user to quickly and efficiently find the information that they are looking for. I would rather announce that Pissed Consumer has a bit more drawbacks which gives a chance to Consumer Reports to be the best.
