Make no mistake about it, I’m an Amazon junkie. When I purchase anything \u2014 from HDTVs to a filter for my aquarium to breakfast cereal \u2014 I check Amazon first to see if it’s a better deal. You can imagine my excitement when I saw Amazon redesigned their site<\/a> this week, to streamline and make it easier to find things.<\/p>\n

Larger, friendlier, and more aesthetically pleasing, the new Amazon site offers convenient dropdown quicklinks, a simpler home page interface and, overall, a happier place to shop. One of the complaints I had prior was that the site had a junky look to it with boxes and boxes of random products you might want. I didn’t want those things. Okay, most of those of things. Those sections haven’t gone away completely, but now float nicely on the page. Amazon has taken a page out of Apple’s book and made a lot more Javascript additions to make the site a little more intuitive and user-friendly.<\/p>\n

One neat feature is that when you click on the search field, it drops down the deals and freebies of the day. That’s a convenient addition for people who check Amazon daily (me).<\/p>\n

And really, the site is just prettier. The web designer in me in much happier with this, and my bank account will be much sadder.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
