Zazzle Pro-Sellers PR Interview Questions

The following email was sent to Zazzle pro-sellers for “press” opportunities or was it? It looks more like a Zazzle trying to understand their pro-seller demographics than them really trying to help out their sellers. What do you think?

Zazzle Updates Logo, Brand and Website

Zazzle updated their logo, homepage, and general brand yesterday. I previously criticized Zazzle for designing their site for SEO rather than user experience. The new homepage is much better and does take into consideration of user experience and directs users to many of the things that make Zazzle unique such as the custom shoes, [...]


Zazzle T-Shirt Review - Take II: Color Blind Printing

Almost two weeks ago I posted a Zazzle t-shirt review and expressed my disappointment with the print quality after spending over $40 for a t-shirt.

Zazzle T-Shirt Review - $43.91 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt

Advertising Oversight? Zazzle Offers Personalized Nazi Products

Sometimes when a company reaches a certain size certain small but important details seem to get overlooked. During some research of few culturally sensitive search terms for my Banned T-Shirts blog I found Zazzle right there as the second result in Google for “Nazi T-shirts”.
I am not here to make judgments on Zazzle’s design [...]


Zazzle Chooses SEO over Usability, Community Recognition, and Overall Experience

If you raised $17 million is this how you would design your homepage?

Personally, I think this just looks like Zazzle hired some SEO firm who convinced them they needed more text links on their homepage because its the right thing to do for SEO. It isn’t inviting, it isn’t pretty, it is just a [...]
