Site Plan

My ultimate goal in developing this website is to create a service for consumers to compare shipping prices between UPS, USPS, FedEx and other shipping companies. The shipping rates between different companies are so different that if consumers had a way to compare prices all in one sitting it would help them save money and time.

Purpose

Audience

  1. Consumers who have something to ship
  2. Various shipping companies
  3. Brother Robertson
  4. My family

Site Basics

The Home page will consist of clean and simple welcoming message. There will be a link to the service which is to compare shipping rates. When the visiter clicks on the link it will take them to a page where they will be asked to fill out their shipping information. Then they will click on a button that will give them a chart with all of different shipping companies and their rates for shipping that package. The visiter will then choose which service they would like to go with and will be asked to fill out their payment information. Once the payment information is verified they will then be able to print the shipping label and they just need to drop it off or have the package picked up. No waiting in line and no frustrating conversations at the shipping offices.

Some of my favorite sites

  1. amazon.com

    I like this website because it is very easy for customers to find what they are looking for. Their search box is always able to give good answers to your search
  2. ups.com

    It is a very self explanatory website. You can find your way around it even if it's your first time using it.
