For my third monthly review I decided to analyze and compare the websites of Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo.<\/p>\n
The Manolo Blahnik website is a clean crisp website, with a nice subtle nude background. When you first go to the site all you see are the categories you can choose from, which include: Biography, Collection, News, Where to Buy, and Contact. Clicking on the Biography link, replacing the picture on the home page the options \u201cThe Man\u201d and \u201cThe Shoes\u201d appears with the context continuing to the right of it and another picture further to the right. As you move down the through the categories the same channel occurs, with the exception that there are more option of shoes to look at when you get into the Collection category. Manolo Blahnik\u2019s website shows the viewer the hierarchy of the website and is easy to navigate through both forwards and backwards, the only thing it is lacking in Steve Krug\u2019s trunk test is there is no search bar that is seen throughout the entire website.<\/p>\n
The other website I decided to look at was the Jimmy Choo website which is more extensive than Manolo Blahnik. It has a search bar in the upper left hand corner and the name \u201cJimmy Choo,\u201d the site id is always centered at the top. There are different categories to shop under, each having their own drop down bar to choose even more specifically what is being looked for. Once you start to go further into the site, a \u201cYou are here\u201d bar appears to show where you are, but it doesn\u2019t match up with the path you took to get there.\u00a0 For instance I just chose shoes and chose boots and clicked on a boot, and the path back towards home does not take me back the way I came and was a little confusing because going back one step took me somewhere completely else. Other than the \u201cyou are here\u201d not following the same way back as it did forward, Jimmy Choo\u2019s website is fairly easy to use, has nice aesthetics, and a nice display of navigation for how \u201cbig\u201d the website is.<\/p>\n
When comparing both of the sites, the best shopping site is the Jimmy Choo site.\u00a0 They have a way for you to purchase the shoes right on the website without taking you to another site to order the shoes like the Manolo Blahnik website does.\u00a0 When it comes to navigation and how to go through the different levels of the site I like how the Manolo Blahnik website works; it\u2019s an easy forward and backward chain that you can\u2019t get lost in.\u00a0 The Jimmy Choo site confuses me with the way they have the site history set up and how you cant go back the same way you came. Overall my I think the Manolo Blahnik website worked better in navigation and the Jimmy Choo did better on a way to purchase the products on the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
