Using The Toggi Website As 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.



One of the factors that make this website easy to use is that it loads fast. Even on a dial up connection the whole page loads up in just a few seconds. Faster connections of 1 mbps or more sees an almost instant connection with all the pictures loaded.



The simple design and layout, basically a full page on black background gives the loading speed a boost. On the left side of the site there are tabs delineating each of the main lines of products that the company offers in terms of outdoor apparel for men, women, children, and equestrian riders.



On the left side of the page is another tab called technical guide, roughly located to separate outdoor apparel on the top from the equestrian riding gears on the bottom. It is an interesting guide in that it shows the material qualities of the different products and what each of these does for the product. This is quite a novel first for an apparel store, by providing more information to customers so that they can make an informed choice.



Clicking on any of the tabs for each specific product gives also the user the same speed as loading up, thanks to the simplicity of the site. By clicking on each tab, a secondary menu comes up in front which further divides the product lines into outdoor or men and women or children collections. The site does not only contain clothes, but also accessories for outdoors such as scarves, hats and even bags and purses.



Social media is also well represented within the site as one can also click links to these sites. There are available Facebook, Instagram and Twitter tabs you can click and go to. More product offerings are also marketed on these sites, as what is of course planned by the web developers to increase market reach.



Another interesting and novel move by the company is to provide a product registration for products bought from their stores. This in a way keeps track of loyal customers and also helps them make a database for future promotions and sales and deals. Very few if any company does this for their sites as an aftersales service.



In all the website provided by this company has the good qualities of fast loading, data capture and multi linking to outside sites. Its simple layout and design appeals to basic shoppers who want no frills while looking at products and just want straightforward information. It is a good example also of a company that not only wants to succeed in the real world but in the internet world as well.
