Why The Toggi Website Is A Good Example Of A Good Retail Business Site

By Essie Osborn


Although many have tried to have websites, such as clothes manufacturers and retailers, not many have succeeded. Many have very clunky websites and take forever to load. Others load fast but lack interesting features. However, Toggi, a leading retailer of outdoor and equestrian outfits, see, to have answered the question on what a good and interesting website should be, while still trying to attract a customer.

Speed has something that their website has. Its simple design makes it a breeze to load even in slow connections, and connections of just around 1 mbps sees all pictures loaded in just a matter of seconds. Thus one does not have to wait too long to see what they have to offer, and one can spend more time surfing and choosing the product one is interested in.

The speed of course gets a boost from the simpler design of the site which has basically minimal graphics and special effects. It shows main offerings of the store in the center and choices of apparel by gender on the left. By the main tabs on the left side one can choose by organized items that the store has to offer.

The left side also sees a tab that separates the equestrian riding gear and products on the bottom from outdoor apparel on top. The tab is called technical guide tab and is quite interesting. It is a guide that shows the different materials the products are made of and what advantages these materials gives for each of the products in the product line. This sort of additional information being given to customers and prospective customers is something that is quite new and not seen always.

Clicking on any of the tabs on the left further opens up newer menus that are further subdivided into men, women and children sizes. What is also interesting is the occurrence of an accessories section wherein it shows offerings that are not in the clothing line such as bags, purses and even scarves.

Those addicted to social media will not feel lost in this site as links to popular social media are also included on it. Links are available for Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. A tab covering news for products is also included if one wants to know more about their products and product lines that are in the offing or just newly offered.

Registering products bought from their many stores and branches can also be done on the site. This novel idea of keeping customer loyalty and ensuring customer feedback is quite new for most stores in the apparel business. It is something that would be nice if everyone caught on in terms of allowing customers to register their products and comment on it.

Thus the site gives designers or would be webmasters the key ingredients in what to look for in a website. Speed, simplicity and conciseness in providing and gathering information are handled well and in a straightforward manner. It is a fine example to use if one is teaching what the main components of a successful webpage and online business are.
