There is a tabbed layout that sorts products by ten different criteria—New Arrivals, Most Viewed, Most Sold, Most Reviewed, Most Rated, Most Tagged, Absolute Free, Editors’ Picks, Clearance and Great Offers. Navigation choices can be displayed on the header, footer and side panels of the home page and landing pages alike. Comprehensive back-end management settings let web store administrators emphasize their key products.
