Is Amazon’s Design Getting Out Of Hand?

February 9th, 2009 by Gregory Silvano Posted in Technology | No Comments »

I just checked out the new Acer Aspire Netbook on this Amazon page and it occurred to me just how crazy their product page has become.  This is the list of sections on just a single page, scrolling down the page:

  1. Product Information (picture, price, etc.)
  2. ZOOM (thumbnails of pictures.
  3. Computer Setup and Training Services in Boston
  4. What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item?
  5. Technical Details
  6. Product Details
  7. Product Description
  8. Buy This Product and Related Accessories
  9. Customers Who Bought Related Items Also Bought
  10. Related Items From External Website
  11. Customers Viewing This Page May Be Interested In These Sponsored Links
  12. Suggested Tags From Similar Products
  13. (now we’re at the halfway mark in the vertical scrollbar!)
  14. Rate This Item to Improve Your Recommendations
  15. Customer Discussions
  16. News and Reviews About This Product
  17. Listmania!
  18. Look for Similar Items by Category
  19. (A big advertising section with 4 other products listed)
  20. Feedback
  21. Where’s my Stuff - Shipping & Returns – Need Help?
  22. Your Recent History
  23. Footer

 

 Wow.  That’s a lot of stuff on one page.  I think Amazon needs to tone it down a bit.
