Web Developer Notes

 

'What You Have is What You See' (WYHIWYS) is a fundamental concept of the  functionality of the website.  This means that only categories (primary and the secondary and tertiary subcategories) with data content display when a client fires a specific query such as:

  1. by requesting a  map area and having returned the existing-data categories in the 'Main Directory' or

  2. by requesting a topic such as 'Things to See and Do' for a specific map area. 

This precludes the use of static drop down menus and means the clients query will return a directory page of category options for existing products.

 

The two critical reasons for this are:

  1. To protect the clients from time-wasting, frustrating blind clicks

  2. And in the case of the 'Main Directories' which correspond to the map areas, to allow the client to easily see/shop all the categories of existing products
