Web Critique — Bodybuilding.com

Speed

The speed of bodybuilding.com is excellent. There are no lagging articles or links within the website, and when attempting to order something online, putting information into the website is fast and responsive. A lot of online shopping websites have slow response times when putting in credit card information and shipping addresses and so forth, but bodybuilding.com shows no sign of this.

Visual logic

The visual logic of bodybuilding.com is strong. Website visitors can easily work their way around the home page, as there are very clear guides leading to the most popular areas of the website. If someone who was looking for information about fitness or supplements comes to bodybuilding.com, they will immediately know that they came to the right place.

Simple organization and navigation

The overall organization and navigation of bodybuilding.com is simple and effective. The top bar of the website home page has four main links that lead to the most popular areas of the website, including “store, training, articles & videos and community.” In order to make shopping easier for the customer, the website has links at the bottom of the home page that lead to the entire list of products, the top 50 products on the website, sales & specials and more. Another helpful aspect of the website is the “Build your best self” box, which includes an easy, step-by-step process that helps the customer or website visitor find their perfect fitness plan that is most suited to their goals. Not only can this process be easily navigated, but finding relevant articles about various fitness topics and questions can be done quickly and easily.

Depth

Bodybuilding.com is certainly not lacking depth in any area of the website. The information is relevant and the topics covered in articles are covered throughly. The supplements are always being updated and new sales are continually bringing new and old customers onto the website to make purchases.

News

Bodybuilding.com frequently updates their articles and writes new press releases all the time. Topics cover all things relating to fitness.

I like a lot of things about this website. I read bodybuilding.com articles almost every day, and most of what I have learned about fitness, weightlifting and nutrition has come from this website. Another great part of this website is the number of free fitness plans available. I have completed many of these programs and I can honestly say that they have changed my life. There is nothing that I do not like about this website.
