         <description><![CDATA[<div>The website is limited to what users can do, although it shows products which are available they do not showcase all their products. Also not allowing customers to purchase products online decreases the amount of engagement which can be achieved.<br><br>There is no personalisation, not allowing customers to add items to a wish list, while there is also no places to sign up to Primark which suggests no further contact with customers other than what happens face-to-face in the stores. therefore customers are not informed about what is happen such as new collections or deals.<br><br>Engagement remains low as the business have limited the use of their website, creating the website as a soul purpose for search about who they are and what they do. Remaining less engaging than other fashion online websites as consumers are unable to purchase online.<br><br>The website is simple and direct, the visuals are pleasing to the eye however are very simple, allowing the website to be clear to users.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>If you're quite new to social media going on twitter will turn you off completely. It doesn't make a lot of sense and even though it shows you how to use it, it is extremely confusing. It does what any other social media site can do which to me doesn't stand out as I could use any other site such as Instagram to find out what the social affairs are in the world.</div>]]></description>
