Website Comparison:
Amazon
Retail Selling Website
Amazon is an extremely large retail business. They have a large amount of products, and ship them to people all over the world. The sheer magnitude of the products sold on this website draws many customers. Why go to two or more places when you can get it all at one website?
Ebay
Auctioning Website
Ebay is an extremely large auction based website. This website caters to common people. Users of Ebay are able to buy products via an auction method. In addition registered Ebay members can sell their own products online. These products are usually similar to what's in a yard sale. However many entrepreneurs have used this auctioning template to create viable companies.
All of these website have different businesses, but they are all conducted online. Despite the diferences in the products and the way business is conducted, these websites have very similar layouts. Each has a common white background, which is easy to look at, and a search engine. This search engine provides the customer instant access to what they are looking for. These websites also each have something similar to a "most popular" section on the front page. They also have a way to systematically go through categories and just browse through the merchandise. However, each of these websites have so many products that going through categories is extremely inefficient, especially when you have to sort through thousands of items over several hundred pages.
