Earlier this week we launched the new Modern Bathroom website. We're really excited about this site because it uses our new faceted search system (i.e. layered navigation, filtering, etc). Below is a recap of some of the other more interesting features.

Faceted Search
Here's a faceted search page: www.modernbathroom.com/bathroom-vanities/bathroom-vanities.aspx
These categories contain hundreds of products but you can quickly filter the it down to just the products that match your criteria. Best of all, you can use the back button, copy/paste filter URL's, and every filter combination is crawable by search engines.

We also created a top-level category page that acts as a landing page for the faceted search page. It allows the user to jump into the page with a filter already applied or start with all of the products.
www.modernbathroom.com/bathroom-vanities/default.aspx


Image Resizing
The site uses automatic image resizing. No more small/medium/large business; just upload your high-res images and the site takes care of resizing the images. If you ever redesign your site or want to change image sizes, just change the image sizes in the admin and the new images are automatically generated.


Brands & Collections
We added the ability to assign 'collections' to manufacturers. For example, lets say your brand is "Apple" and one of their collections is "iPod". The site automatically generates an 'iPod' collection category that pulls in all of the products assigned to that collection. The site also links the product page of an item to its collection page.

Brand Collections page (all the collections of a brand)
Collection page (all products belonging to the collection
Product page (with link to collection page)


Misc
The site also makes use of the Develisys BVC 5 Toolkit for the site menu, one-page checkout, and the best sellers (homepage and top-level category pages).

The selections come from the Type Properties of the products belonging to the category. So, assuming that your products already have Type Properties setup, you just select our faceted search category template and presto, you have faceted search. This client did not have any Product Types or Type Properties setup, so they had to set all of that up before we could launch.

When you edit a Manufacturer in the admin you now have the ability to assign Collections to it. Then when you're editing a product, there is a Collections dropdown that updates with a list of the available collections based on the Manufacturer you have selected.

Share it? No. Sell it, yes.

Aaron, please email me more information about faceted search and pricing. Thanks!

P.S. I had to recreate my account to login. For some reason I wasn't able to login and retrieve my password. So, I had to create a new account.
