We have briefly discussed the barriers of designing faceted search and we need some inspirations from current design by other site operators. Actually we are not alone, there are many of them working on different types of solutions in an attempt to offer a painless Faceted Search user experience. This post showcases some of the exemplary websites in shopping category mostly. The first set has its faceted search built on the left.
Yoox.com :
A global internet retailing partner for the leading fashion & design brands. It has a very simple faceted search to begin with – top designers and top categories.
A product review site. TG found the site is exceptionally clean, stylised wth minimalism design. Its faceted search tells users how many products are found upfront, what filter(s) has been applied during the process of searching
Part of Yahoo! family of site, the site has a clear indication of what the users are looking for _ Women’s Sunglass by using a bold header and small tagline. Tabs on the left hide and show a number of facets on each attributes.
An online retail store in United States. The C2C shopping site has a nice play of red and white colors, key items jumps out from the white background. Site designer tries to control the number of attributes to be displayed above the first fold in the first place, which reduces the painful experiences of scrolling up and down
A site that can allow users to compare the prices on all the most popular products. The strength of the sites’s faceted search is to allow multiple selection of filters and do it in one-go. Yet, the knife is not double edges, user may find it annoying to scroll down and click on the Update Results button
