Shopping Online—How Is It Done?
Remember the last time you went to a store to buy shoes?
What were the steps involved? First, you found the shoe
department. Then you tried on several styles in different
colors and price ranges. You decided on a pair, took them to
the cashier, and made a decision about how to pay for them.
Online Stores—What do they look like?
Online stores have features in common. They all have home
pages which are like the doorways into stores at the mall.
Home pages welcome you, and like department store
directories, they give you general information about the
merchandise and services offered.
Home pages contain links to get you from one area of the
store to another. The links may be in the form of tabs, tables
of contents, pictures, or drop-down selection boxes.
Let’s Go
Shopping!
Shopping online is very
similar to shopping at a
department store but
without the inconvenience
of leaving home.
Shopping online can save
you time and money, and
with practice the process
can become as familiar as a
trip to the mall!
