Newegg.com has been pretty much my exclusive site to purchase computer hardware for the last 4-5 years. Recently Newegg.com has refreshed their website design. First, I would like to say that there are some key points that I really like about the refresh.
The good stuff…
I want to be positive at first here, while there are some glaring mistakes I would like to focus on the good parts.
The first thing I noticed, and I mean the first, was the text for the prices (reference #5) in the list of products that you’re browsing. This I really like a lot. It’s cleaner and easier to read. Which I think is why I noticed it first, along with people always want to view the prices of the products they’re interested in. Bravo!
Another thing I noticed, probably the second thing was that the “Compare” section had changed (reference #4). This is very nice now as well. I can see and remove the products I want to compare from this point and they carry over to the next page of products. Very cool in my opinion. The compare page itself was cleaned up a little as well.
The page turner is kind of middle ground (reference #3). I like it but I guess it didn’t really change enough for me to think it’s stellar like the previous two features. One thing that did change drastically with that work flow is the “Loading…” message you get when turning pages. I’m kind of indifferent about that as well.
