Home

The home page helps customers navigate the store by displaying a list of available departments to browse, each containing products. Products are displayed with their picture, name, and price, and the customer can add the products to their shopping cart without leaving the home page. Additional features of the home page include quick info pop ups, serving as hover help for each product, and the ability to add products to the wish list.
