Another exercise where we look into various websites to
compare the layout, price range of the products and the pros and cons that each
site holds. In pairs we each explore two websites that are fairly similar to
each other and to make notes on their differences to see which one, by
comparing their prices and overall aesthetic, is better. As a pair we were
given two websites, both selling shirts and customisable tops.
Teespring
Spreadshirt
Shirts and
Products
Teespring
Shirts + Mugs
Spreadshirt
More variety – price range is a bit more expensive. More
Products such as bags, phone cases, mugs, etc.
Price Range
Teespring
$12-$43. Most expensive product are hoodies which sits at
the $43 range.
Spreadshirt
$12-$40. Hoodies are the expensive product.
Customisation of
colours for products
Teespring
More colour options to choose from.
Spreadshirt
Not as much and is very limited compared to what Teespring
has to offer.
Website layout/Home
page
Teespring
A lot of space on the front page, feels a bit empty. Simple and
clean design.
Spreadshirt
A lot more interactive than Teespring. More engaging and allowing
you to zoom in on products for hi-resolution view. The aesthetic is more
organised with the amount of products being advertised.
Customisation of
shirts
Teespring
Variety of fonts and stock images to use on shirt. Can
upload your own images or illustrations on shirt for preview.
Spreadshirt
Similarly to Teespring though there is more options to play
around with customisation such as choosing colour (only applies to stock images
and preset fonts).
Viewing design on
shirt
Teespring
Uploaded images fits on the shirt. The blending of the
shadows on the shirt allows for more accurate presentation of what the image
may look like in person.
Spreadshirt
Images look flat on the shirt on the preview. No sense of
depth compared to the preview on Teespring.
Both websites are fairly similar to one another and are
balanced in terms of the overall aesthetic, though in the end I think
Spreadshirt has more to offer as it has more products, as well as images of
popular culture that would attract particular consumers of similar interests to
buy the shirts, bags, etc. The interface of the website looks a lot livelier,
while Teespring seems to focus more on the simple aspect of clean look and
presentation.
