The two websites that I visit frequently are youtube.com, and pinterest.com. Youtube.com has been a successful site for years, and it continues to grow. It's an effective site, because it gives businesses and people the opportunity to market themselves. Personally, I watch a lot of make up related videos on Youtube. There are countless numbers of people who have become successful due to the possibilities Youtube provides. Throughout the years, Youtube has developed a clean design. They've always stuck with solid colors, and red is a popular marketing color. The navigation throughout the site is clear, and it allows you to customize your channels anyway you wish to have them displayed. I've always come back as a user, because it's catered to my needs and continues to improve. The next step I believe they could take in improving is making the thumbnails less cluttered when viewing different videos from channel to channel. However, that's me just being picky. I th...

Site #1 : http://gatesnfences.com/ - Three potential problems for visitors : The design of the website in it's entirety is extremely busy! In my opinion, it's difficult to pinpoint what the company's name is, and what their company is all about. Also, when visiting Gates N Fences website, it's hard to navigate and find the services needed. Lastly, the text throughout the entire website is hard to read, so visitors would have a real difficult time making out any of the text.  - What could be improved on these websites and why would these improvements help ? A layout for the site would help immensely. There's a lack of organization, and a layout would help gather content. They also need to update their typography so that it's legible for visitors. This would draw in more traffic through their site. The ease of use needs to be taken into consideration. It's difficult to locate links needed, and visitors need to scroll through a lot of content in order...

Business 1: Bread and Cie https://www.breadandcie.com/ Bread and Cie are visibly using Twitter, Facebook, Google plus, Foursquare, Instagram, and Yelp. Twitter: ( February 27, 2016 ) The company was very active in 2016, but years following had little to no posts at all. Facebook: ( September 6, 2018 ) The company is very active on facebook!

Amongst everyone, I'm sure we've all encountered bad experiences with businesses at one point or another. Personally, I just went through a bad experience with one of my favorite clothing stores. I was in Anthropologie exchanging a top I bought online, and was expecting a simple exchange. The top I exchanged was to be delivered to my home, and the shipping was stated to be a maximum of 10 days. To put this story in a nutshell, the top never arrived due to an incorrect adjustment, and no shipping address was added tot he completed order. On top of that, it took eight phone calls to customer service on different occasions to solve the problem. As I'm in retail myself, I personally couldn't believe how many mistakes were made on the order. However, I know patience is key! If I would've made this public on social media I'm almost certain I would've received a response from the company. It's so important for companies to hear out their customers. As Likeab...
