Summary

An effective consumer Search and Discovery process is crucial for the success of any ecommerce website. A well-designed UI kit can help create a seamless online shopping experience by providing visual and interactive components, as well as screen layouts. The "messy middle" of the purchase journey, where customers explore and evaluate their options, relies heavily on search functionality. A UI kit facilitates easy viewing of all necessary details for customers to navigate through this stage. Key features include design simplicity, well-placed navigation features, and incorporation of visual techniques that highlight relevant content. Algolia has created a free and open source E-Commerce Search and Discovery UI Kit to help web and mobile designers collaborate with business stakeholders and developers in creating best-in-class search UI/UX experiences. The kit offers responsive screen mockups, individual UI components for page layout and navigation, and is 100% customizable.
