Personally, I've never had a problem with Amazon's design (though AWS is another story).
If their design is actually "bad", then my only takeaway is that design isn't nearly as important as people claim (at least, for this particular industry).
- vinay427 8y agoThe only time I've had to think about how to do something on the Amazon marketplace website is when trying to contact their support. I'm required to go through several prompts asking if one of their FAQs answers my questions, and of course they don't, though perhaps this is intentional to make their support more efficient. 95% of the time, everything works as I expect it to, which is about as good as it gets for me.
- ajhurliman 8y agoAny particular gripes with AWS? Genuinely curious, not defending anything here.
- avinium 8y agoI don't want to trigger a war - honestly, it's probably just personal preference (and I now almost exclusively work in Azure, so things may have changed in the last 12-18 months). My gripe was mainly about the density of the UI elements - it always felt like there was a lot of text/images crammed into a small space, so I had to inspect every single option before I found the one I wanted. People have made similar comments about the Azure portal, though, but I never felt the same, so YMMV. Like I said, personal preference.
- preommr 8y agoOr it's not their main priority. I think amazon's dominance comes from a lot of things other than their website design. Maybe they could make more money if they improved the UI, but the impetus isn't there because the focus is on improving their delivery network for example.
