Search & discovery Commerce

Why this pattern works

Retail homepages that need to combine direct product search with guided browsing.

Design notes

Surface: Amazon public storefront, signed out.
Navigation: Two stacked header rows separate account and search utilities from department browsing.
Layout: Full-width promotional scene above tightly packed category panels.
Density: High, with compact labels and multiple discovery paths.
Color: Dark navy navigation, white panels, warm promotional accents.
Type: Compact sans labels with larger category headings.
Pattern: Keep search prominent while offering category-led entry points for visitors without a specific query.
States: Signed-out storefront with region-dependent offers; no cart or checkout state was captured.
Don't: Avoid stacking promotions until the primary search action becomes hard to find.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
