Via this CyberNet News post<\/a> I got to Zoomii.com<\/a>.\u00a0 There is a saying about all new being well forgotten old.\u00a0 And that’s exactly what Zoomii.com is about.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is something magical about walking through a bookshop – touching books, flipping pages.\u00a0 Especially, when you don’t know exactly what are you looking for.\u00a0 Amazon has sort of taken it away.\u00a0 You get in, get your stuff, maybe grab something that is recommended nearby, and leave.\u00a0\u00a0 Zoomii.com combines the best of both worlds.\u00a0 You can still get stuff from Amazon shop at Amazon prices, but instead of visiting a rather cumbersome interface of their site, you can browse through a familiar bookshelf area.<\/p>\n

The combination of a good design with intuitive interface makes it almost a “Wow!” site fo me.\u00a0 It took me exactly three seconds to figure out how to use it.\u00a0 And even if I wasn’t tech savvy, there is a little friendly popup that appears when entering the site, which tells briefly how to navigate around.\u00a0 The control panel on the left is small, and has only the things that I care about – navigation, category selector, and information about my cart.\u00a0 Brilliant.<\/p>\n

The only thing that I wish Zoomii.com<\/a> had that it doesn’t have (or at least I couldn’t find) is the option of choosing which Amazon shop to buy from.\u00a0 If I could buy directly from Amazon.co.uk, it would be a 10 of 10 web site.\u00a0 Hope, they will add this option later.<\/p>\n

Sites like this should be taught to web designers and developers.\u00a0 This is how the web should be – clean, simple, efficient, and intuitive.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
