Analysis of Designs
Design 1 - Visibility-Focused
Learnability
This design addresses issues of learnability using clear transitions, visible icons with text descriptions, and large text. Specifically, the search bar is in the center of the page on the homepage, but when a search is performed it slides to the top bar. Icons and text are resizeable, and every button has an icon title.
Efficiency
The efficiency of this design lies in its simplicity. Though initially emphasized for clarity and learnability purposes, the simplicity of this design means that fewer clicks are necessary in order to execute a purchase. On the item detail page, a sidebar on the right has fixed position (i.e. does not scroll with the page) so that if the customer decides he or she would like to purchase the item while scrolled down in the middle of reviews, he or she need not scroll back to the top of the page.
Safety
The most important parts of safety in shopping are ensuring that nothing is purchased accidentally. To combat this, we have several features.
