Adding different sections to the website will make it much easier for the users to find what they are looking for such as accesories, cellphones, computers, headphones and cameras. I add an specific section for support, community and store. Costumers will be able to find staff help either with an emergency or simply for a question, next is the community where everyone can put their reviews or problems regarding the products and therefore the community can work out to solve a main problerm and finally is the store part where all the products will be displayed.
