UCD Concepts

In case you haven’t heard, Amazon has done a bit of remodeling.  You won’t know this from just looking at the site, but if you head over to view your account settings things will look a little different.

The reason I am calling this out is not because of the new layout of the account area, but rather the simple callout that Amazon makes to let the user know something has changed.

Here is a screenshot of the main account page.  Notice the red circle in the top right corner.

I like the subtle hint that something has been going on with the page and I like it even more that Amazon invites the user to see what’s new.

Now let’s take a look at the subsequent page.

Here you’ll see that Amazon calls out different features that may be important to the user.  They have also requested feedback and give you a link to “Let us know what you think.”  I feel the feedback form is adequate for most, if not all users, with 5 simple questions.

If you don’t like the new Account section, Amazon even gives you a link so that you can even go back and use the previous version of Your Account.  I wonder how long they will keep the link to the previous version up.

So tell me your thoughts.  Do you like Amazon’s new Account section?  What do you think about their preview of what’s been remodeled?

Cheers.
