Command Line Interface

Menu-Driven Interface

Graphical User Interface

Spending more than one minute on a heavy Sign-in is enough to push any user to look elsewhere. The lazy sign-in method commonly used in e-commerce UIs allows the user to have the option to shop without signing in till he reaches the cart where he can use external sign in.

Search by: text, image, voice, barcode
Text-based search is no longer enough, images, voice-over and barcode are on their way to replace the keyboard. Scanning a barcode reduces possibilities of error, and leads you straight to the needed product.

Browse by: product categories
Product categories allow users to browse and discover products in an organized way by grouping products according to categories. Some e-commerce UIs have a separate product category screen while others integrate the product category section in the home section.
