Why I think this design works

The design of this webpage works because it is simple and convenient. Leaving the "high-techish" design aside - which makes you feel like you have really come to a computer related website, the design's functionality is what makes the difference. As a user, you have several ways to find your product, either by a search box, the drop boxes or the brand pages. The product page is simple and does not leave you wondering what are the next steps to complete this purchase.

Tips and Tricks

  • concentrating few links in a nice banner would improve the design.
  • The upper right corner is a bit weird, need to better organize it.
  • the "like" and "+1" should have their own spot, aligned to the site's general lines.

I Built this Web Page (yes or no)

Jennifer Kyrnin, Web Design / HTML Guide, says:

It's funny, the design of this site is nice—clean and clear for the most part. But the title of the page “Laptop Batteries Planet” sounds like incorrect English to me and so I struggle. The banner at the top is nice, but the white text blurs into the background images making it hard to read, and the fuzzy shadow behind the words just emphasizes that difficulty. I like the use of the gold color as an accent to the otherwise stark black and white (not counting the logos, of course) of the design. But, the gold against gray doesn't give enough contrast to make it easy to read. And finally, the Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube icons just look wrong with the strange colors they have in the bottom right.
