Description

Filtering is a way to help the user narrow down results to help find what they are looking for.

This is not only used for ecommerce – but can be applied to any list of objects that can be organised by different attributes, for example articles, or downloads.

The most important step in this process is to define the taxonomies that organise and group information. For example:

  • Brand
  • Industry
  • Colour
  • Size
  • Price range
  • Topic
  • Tag
