Vimeo is a video sharing website for professionals. The site highlights artistic expression and videos that clearly take time to create. They are a competitor of YouTube, however, Vimeo is superior in many ways. The layout of the website is very clean and easy to navigate. The home page includes staff picks, documentaries, and animation sections. There is also a slideshow of featured videos on the homepage. Besides the layout, Vimeo has much less advertisements than YouTube and HD Quality of the videos is better on Vimeo.
The user interface and targeted audience is different for the two sites. YouTube targets a large audience of amateur producers. This creates a widely used platform with low quality content. Vimeo, on the other hand, targets professional producers and artists. This creates a less used platform with high quality content. Overall, I prefer Vimeo because it creates a more pleasant experience.
