IndiaBookStore.net – More UI updates

August 29th, 2010 | View Comments

Presenting a cleaner UI. Both visually and in terms of the information shown. Check out and compare with the previous screenshots.

IBS_v0.9.1-1

I’m not showing names of book stores anymore in the main search results now. This not only makes the UI less cluttered, but has a nice side effect (something intended), that no book store names are appearing on the search results, and it won’t appear that Bookstore A is better just because they have a certain book at only Rs. 10 less than Bookstore B, and are appearing a whole lot more in the search results. For eg. see the previous screenshot. You can see a lot more Infibeam’s despite Flipkart not being all that more expensive (for this particular search).

IBS_v0.9.1-2

Clicking on a cover shows details in a modal window now. A modal window is a good pattern to use here as I can now add more stuff like book reviews and recommendations here.

    Hey! Definitely cleaner :)- though I would now ask whether you need to show the number of matches in "[ ]" at all.. I can just click the book and find out if there's multiple options.. I see only what's important for me :)

    And-- I like that the descriptions are back!
