Tesco (http://www.tesco.com)
Strengths:
- Every option is clearly defined by a bounding box and has a relevant icon or picture (neat)
- Whenever a box is highlighted a menu pops up showing different options in that section, allowing the user to be specific if they want to be.
- Tesco is giving back to the community, by supporting schools and other charities.
- Tesco show concern for the environment, offering users 'tips for greener living'
Weaknesses:
- There are so many options, it's a little overbearing.
- The 'about us' is very obscure, at the bottom and divided into sections.
- BIG STUFF UP WITH CODE: If you go through to one of the pages and you go 'back' to the home page, the pop up menus don't fold away, they obscure the site and the user has to 'refresh' to make them fold away again. tut tut tut
Sainsbury's (http://www.sainsburys.co.uk)
Strengths:
- Nice, neat navigation menu at the top, with useful drop down menus.
- Info architecture works well, I was able to find a list of all the dog foods that I could chose from, in neat categories, and how much each costs.
Weaknesses:
- everything is condensed into the center of the screen, it's very tightly packed and this makes it too busy.
- I don't see anything about them being Green or aware of the environment. tut tut
Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/)
Strengths:
- Easy to understand navigation menu
- Info architecture works well, I can easily find very specific products to buy.
Weaknesses:
- All the stuff on the right is a little confusing and detracts from the main content, plus it makes the things a little busy.
