The large banner at the top of the home page allows for image transitions using the “Ken Burns” effect to create the illusion of movement through zooms, pans and fade transitions added to still photographs.

Rug collections contain clearly labeled thumbnails of each rug to give the user visual insight into what type of rugs to expect in each category. A small list of adjectives is also included to help users understand how each rug will impact the aesthetic of a room. The descriptions used in this section are short and to the point – when used in conjunction with the images is the user then has enough information to select the style they want. Visitors can view more detailed information on the product detail page.
The heading structure on these pages has been updated to follow the natural hierarchy of content, and breadcrumbs were added to help users easily identify what style of rugs they are viewing without getting lost.
The ability to jump between styles, sizes, and colors is always available so users can easily sort through all the different rugs Orley Shabahang offers.
