Second slider: Slider makes an E-commerce page beautiful. It also helps to improve animation functionality to you product page. This is why you need sliders on your E-commerce site: 1, You use it as an adverts. 2, You can use it to display promo products. 3, You can use it to give quick introduction about your company. 4, You can use to display peculiar product items. 5, You can used it to display high graphics product items that will beautify your product page.

Products Display: Make use of better UI and UX design to display your products. Use clear pictures and don't make it to be too big. Make use of Css to add better functionality and style it in a fashionable way. Make use of Css hover to display hidden features. Product items should have :

#1,Cart Icon to add items to cart.

#2,Product price.

#3, Wishlist.

#4,Product name.

#5, Product image. Now , above are what you should include in your product items. Good!! We have made great progress and we are not relenting until we start building our web E-commerce application. In addition make sure you hide the cart icon so when you hover on the product page it display it. Product should be well display with sweet heading text. Example: Local Products should display all the local items in Nigeria like rice, beans, yam and so on. Another example: Export product should display all the items that are meant for exportation example are Cashew, Charcoal, Cocoa and so on. don't worry i will send pictures of how they will look like. Just feel relax.
