Similar e-commerce analysis

Having looked into 2 e-commerce websites helped figure out some of the features that I could include in my e-commerce.

The homepage: 

The homepage is one of the most important pages on the website since it is the first page that appears to the visitors. Thus, I tried to gather some ideas from similar websites to the one I am working on. 

The first website is Chocolate dino company:

Homepage :

The header part (Chocolate dino company)

Many essential elements need to be included in the header part, and the chocolate dino company website has them. First, the menu, which contains text connected to the pages via a hyperlink. Thus, it is much easier for the visitor to navigate inside the website.

As shown in the photo above, the menu is included, as I mentioned earlier. It contains 5 different categories, 1- Shop, which includes all their products. 2-Home, which takes the user to the home page. 3- About us, which is a significant page to be included in any e-commerce website (more details and analysis on E-commerce Website: About Page post). 4- Blog, takes to the blog. 5-FAQ ( frequently asked questions) is as well an important element in a website.

The body and the footer (Chocolate dino company)

In general, I noticed that the Chocolate dino company website is simple. The body included photos of their products that are connected to hyperlinks to make it easier to navigate.

While the footer included some of the important features such as the policies and contact information. However, the footer only included the links that take to the mentioned pages. Finally, it has icons linked to their social media accounts. 

Sign up page:

The product page:

FQA page:

The checkout process should be quick and secure. From the checkout page on Chocolate dino company website, I have noticed that some details need to be filled in by the user such as the shipping address, name, contact information, etc.

The second website is Arrive cookies:

Homepage :

The header part (Arriva cookies)

Arrival cookies' homepage includes almost the same features as the chocolate dino company website. However, one important element is the search bar, which was not included in the other website. Another thing that was the banner which shows the offers they have. I think including a banner with the important information is very smart since it is the first thing the user sees.

The footer part (Arriva cookies)

The footer, as shown, includes a subscription to the newsletter box of the website. Which is another good element to includes in a website. As it helps to promote their products.

The footer includes the policies, social media account, the payment methods accepted.

Sign up page:

Again very straightforward and easy to follow through. 

The product page:

Again the product page includes all of the essential information about the product, its price, ingredients, etc. One thing that I think could be very beneficial is the review section, in which it was included.

FQA page:

The frequently asked questioned on the arrival cookie website is very neat. Which makes it much more convenient for the user to find the answers to their questions.

Checkout page:

Similar to the other website, it is not hard to follow through the process. All needed from the users are to fill in their detail and the way they prefer to checkout with.
