    Explanation & Answer

    With Marvel comics and DC comics being two of the most famous comic book
    brands in the world, one would expect that they would have professional websites to
    display their products with their own individual styles, and they would be right. Although
    both websites offer the same services, the sale of comic books and merchandise, they each
    offer a very distinct and unique experience which reflect their own individual tone of comics
    towards potential buyers. Comparing and Contrasting these two websites based on their
    proximity, alignment, repetition and contrast will allow viewers to see the differences and
    similarities between the Marvel comics website and the DC comics website.
    Both websites have a similar layout and structure with the appropriate organization
    of related elements in the same space allowing for easy access to and from the different
    parts of the websites. The header part for both websites contain the logo of each respective
    brand, the navigation bar to the different services provided, the search bar and the
    respective card companies they are in partnership with. The only differences between the
    two websites would be that the DC comics website lacks a SIGN IN option while the Marvel
    comics website has one located in the top left section and the DC comics website has an
    ADDITIONAL DC SITES located on the top right while the Marvel comics website lacks that.

    Although the header and footer remain relatively similar, everything else is far different
    with each other. The header contains the navigation bar, search bar and logo as mentioned
    earlier for both websites. As the viewer scrolls down in the Marvel comics website, we reach
    the first section of the website where the header is followed by a ‘carousel’ consisting of
    several intriguing topics that viewers might be baited to click on. Continuing further down,
    we reach the second section of the website which is a list of topics with related images
    aligned exactly on top of each topic ordered horizontally. After that, still in the same
    section, there is a repeating pattern of a full-width image with two hyperlink options
    followed by the same structure of a list ordered horizontally as seen earlier. We then reach
    the third section consisting of a ...
