Kohl’s

Posted by Chris Tingom on March 12, 2004 at 9:27 pm.

The Kohl’s site is interesting. Selling everything from shoes to shower curtains on a single site presents a challenge. I think Kohl’s does a pretty good job with the organization.

They have high level categories (presented on the horizontal navigation bar) and a wide range of area wide navigation in a text-based vertical navigation. Quite easy to get around.
