Abstract: In some implementations, a product category web page includes a middle region with recommend products and topical information. The middle region optionally includes three columns with recommend products in the center column and topical information in the outer columns. In some implementations, the topical information is associated with the product category. The topical information in certain embodiments helps a search engine determine product results for a natural language query and the product results are presented in the product tile array.

The product carousel optionally permits a user to select and view information relating to products in a product category or products that are related to each other.

Abstract: In one example a retail webpage displays a product collage and social media content. For example, the social media content includes reviews by a user's social contacts and/or an image of the user, a social contact, and/or a product. Some content of the website, for example, is organized to display content in a predefined layout. In another example, a retail website system collects social information from external social networks. For example, a user's social information is identified and content created by the user's social contacts is identified. The social contact-created content is displayed, for example, with a product or group of products. In another example, the layout of a webpage is organized to encourage a user to explore the webpage. The layout, for example, includes elements in two columns with content adjacent to similar content. For example, elements in descending location relate more or less specifically to a user.
