ARTM2210 Intro to Web Design

Just another Intro to… site

Bi-Weekly Review 1

Shopping for products online has become very popular because no one has to leave their house to get what they want anymore.  I rely on online shopping sometimes because I do not have the time to go out and get what I need.

My favorite website to shop on is Zumba.com.   I teach Zumba, and this site is the easiest way to get the latest gear.  Plus, since I have an instructor account on the site, I receive discounts on all of the clothes.

Zumba.com is very easy to navigate around.  All of the icons to click on are displayed at the top of the screen and light up when the mouse is hovering over them.  There is an icon at the top that specifically says “shop”.  Once clicked on, the website navigates to a page where the products are organized on the left by the subtitles “men” and “women.” Within those subtitles, there are icons to navigate to new arrivals, tops, bottoms, footwear, and on-sale items.

I chose the “new arrivals” link under the women’s section and found a top that I liked.   When I clicked on the top, it linked me to a new page that showed a review of the item, comments left by other people who bought the shirt, the color, size, and number of shirts I wanted.  Once I went through all of the criteria on the page, I clicked the “add to cart” button at the bottom of the page.  From there I was easily able to put in my credit card and shipping information and order the shirt.

Overall, the Zumba website is very appealing.  There are many colors, shapes, and textures in everything including the background, tabs to click on, and the logos.  On the main page of the site there is a slideshow that automatically scrolls to showcase their major products.  The slideshow is very convenient because if a customer sees something they are interested in, they can click on it in the slideshow.  Also, if anyone has questions or comments their contact information is all at the bottom of the website.

Zumba.com is a great website for me to quickly find and buy products.  Everything is very easy to find, and the website is interesting to look at.   Consumers use Zumba.com often because it is convenient to buy products.
