In my opinion, this is an excellent commercial site.
A third useful site is TigerDirect, the web site of one of the larger on-line computer product sales companies. They recently reorganized the index page. It used to have a single left-hand menu with a large frame in the center of the page for page content, as the non-index pages do now. Instead, the title page now contains several rows of ads for specials, followed by lists of products broken down by category. This is a vast improvement because the old index used a single alphabetical list - items were not especially easy to find.
TigerDirect is a great place to browse for new product, including pictures, diagrams and good technical explanations of the feqatures and compatibility of the items they sell. This is a typical product page from their on-line catalog - in this case, a printer.
A search box and a site map round out the site’s navigation features. In my opinion, this is an excellent commercial site.
