The request
“We're seeking help to enhance the product data links on the storefront and move the filters to a sidebar. The top-bar filter is hard to use with as many options as we have.”
Many filter options crammed into a horizontal bar. A sidebar had room.
The approach
We moved the filters into a left sidebar with grouped, labeled facets, and added the supplier's product data links to the product cards. On mobile the sidebar becomes a slide-out panel.
