In my opinion, I find Craigslist to be a very interactive and visitor friendly website. This website thrives off of user-generated matter. Craigslist permits users to effortlessly buy and sell virtually anything, giving it such high regards and credibility (along with costumer satisfaction and reliability). Posting your desired information and monitoring others listings is quite simple. I feel that Craigslist can pride themselves in having a website that allows the customer to navigate and conduct business transactions seamlessly. Upon entering the Craigslist website, the main page allows you to select a location and the first column offers options such as help pages, fact sheets, avoid scams, and various other links. After a city is selected, you are taken to a well-organized page broken into categories such as community, personals, discussion forums, housing, for sale, services, jobs, gigs and resumes. The website is laid out in a manor that takes little to no time to acclimate to. The typeface used on Craigslist is a blue, sans serif font that is in all lower case letters. The font has good readability and establishes a stress-free yet vibrant tone for the user. The wordmark is also very simplistic and understated. Its physique matches the typeface of the rest of the website and reflects the presentation of the website.
Melissa,
ReplyDeleteGreat example of a site where users provide nearly all the content. There's so much going on on Craigslist, and I think they handle it the best way with the hierarchy they have (and I certainly wouldn't expect you to explain every aspect of their site/where it's set out.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
paul
