For instance, flower and plants are under fruit and veg category ]]> 2020-03-16 13:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461829311 jparent1234 https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461829481 All three websites are (obviously) professionally made. Tesco is probably the best out of the group. Waitrose is currently down right now and Sainbury's is a bit more unnecessarily complicated.]]> 2020-03-16 13:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461829481 https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461834422 Sainsburys website could be simpler. The same information/prdoucts are
 found in several places ]]> 2020-03-16 13:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461834422 jparent1234 https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461835620 Tesco is about average in navigation and layout. Waitrose came back online and is very visually appealing. Sainbury's has the busiest layout and feels overwhelming. All three sites have the same downloading speeds and everything loads instantly. ]]> 2020-03-16 13:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461835620 https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461837332 Visitors: Tesco 25m
Sainsburys 14m
Bounce rates are similar at 39% vs 41% 
More page visits at Sainsburys which might indicate that it is more difficult to find products compared to Tesco

Can you check websites on different devices - on your mobiles and perhaps laptops? Is the site well-adaptable to the different screen sizes?]]> 2020-03-16 13:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461850265 https://padlet.com/mdmkuk/u86auz6vtsn4/wish/461852540 The search bars are similar on Tesco and Sainsburys websites. When searching a dropdown list of suggestions appear which is very useful
