Analyzing websites.

Vacation Packages

Priceline.com
  • Minimalistic; easy to navigate, great if I already know exactly what I want.
  • Not too overwhelming  in the sponsored stuff /adds; makes it very easy to find the smaller links to what I want.
Expedia.com
  • Has an extensive  list of not only their featured deals but also their top deals. Nice in case you don’t already know where you want to vacation to.
  • Each different advertisement for the different deals is bright and eye catching, really drawing me into the different adventures.


Currently I'm more partial to Expedia than I am Priceline simply because I don't have any idea what sort of vacation I'd like, and Expedia privides so many choices right off the bat. I find that a bit amusing because I usually prefer Priceline to Expedia usually because they offer more for a better price. Since I'd have to really start digging through Priceline's website I would probably use Expedia as inspiration to find my perfect get away. I did find Expedia's webpage a bit overwhelming as I slogged through the various deals they provided, and eventually got irritated at how much they were pushing on me, this did make me enjoy Priceline's minimalist version a whole lot more. Once I got deeper into Pricelines website I really noticed how consistently easy they made it. Expedia also kept with their cluttered theme; and the adds didn't match what I selected...so when I looked into a vacation to Cancun the add on the side of the page was for Alaska...which isn't even remotely close to what I'd currently like in a vacation. So while my initial vote was for expedia - because of my undecided-ness - I will more than likely use Priceline because of it's ease of use and minimalist style.
