B-
Very clean design and had good flexibility for distribution options.
Navigating to specific sections can be tricky though. No context specific help available.
|
D
Dated service that hasn't been updated in years.
Not possible to jump to a section to make a change. Restrictive options for the residual estate.
I'm not entirely sure that anybody is still working on this website.

Easy to navigate to specific sections. |

Very dated design that hasn't been changed in over a decade.
It's easy to jump to specific sections, but you don't get to see the pricing until the very end.
