The Bad

• Deal layout on site
• Shopping experience

It is a challenge to find something wrong with RetailMeNot. They do a fantastic job of helping their users pay far less than they would on retail sites. There is one factor that could be improved to help the user experience.

• Deal layout on site

While there are countless valuable deals on their site, it does take a little more work to find the deals than some other sites. On the home page, underneath the "Recommended deals for you" section there is a "Top Deals" section. Other sites show a much larger list of top deals than RetailMeNot. This smaller, more concise list is not a terrible thing since it prevents the site from feeling cluttered. However, if you don't find what you are looking for initially you will have to continue shopping deeper into the site. Another shopping experience factor that could be improved is the way categories are found. Many other sites use their categories as tabs on the home page. RetailMeNot has them located under the "Browse Coupons" section where the link exists for "Browse by Category". From there you will be able to see all the categories they offer. Similar to Top Deals, this layout is much cleaner although takes more steps to get where you are looking to go.
