Online automobile trading competition market will be jazzed up with the launching of RajaMobil.com last Wednesday in Jakarta. RajaMobil is an automobile trading portal which aims to bridge trading transaction process between seller and buyer with internet as the medium.
In this online automobile trading market, RajaMobil will not only compete with other automobile website such as Mobil123, but also facing general trading website such as Berniaga and TokoBagus. TokoBagus has claimed to own online automobile market in Indonesia by 75%.
According to Chief Executive Officer RajaMobil, Andi Silalahi –as reported by Kompas Otomotif – based on the data they have, 78% of people who want to buy a vehicle most likely has done a survey through the internet before deciding on which vehicle to buy. Therefore, online automotive business is very potential.
Back in 2010 (yes, 2 years ago), Rama had said that he thought that the sites such as Karir.com and Indonetwork.co.id are the example of conservative, not modern website but can keep on making money. I don’t know how both website looked like at that time but seeing from their current look, I think both websites’ design is similar with the web design at the beginning of the internet.
But both websites are proven to be able to survive, maintaining the design but still making profit. But what if other website appears with similar business plan but better design? I will not talk about it here. I will only talk about Indonetwork having a competition with similar business but with a –in my opinion- better design, IndoTrading.
IndoTrading website’s design is arguably look a like IndoNetwork’s. At the top, both sites display various “Company” and “Product” tabs and there’s a search facility based on province under it. At the left column, both display list of company categories. Upper right displays login form and in the middle displays some lists of companies and products. It’s difficult not to say that IndoTrading is inspired by IndoNetwork. The difference is IndoTrading comes a bit more modern by using red color and changing image slider.
