Site Introduction

Welcome!

We'd like to introduce you to our website.

We hope you can find what you are looking for quickly and intuitively, and we also hope you'll explore and discover!

Most of our items can be categorized under several different characteristics. We have organized our website to reflect this, and add new categories when warranted.

We welcome your comments and suggestions.

Features:

NAVIGATION

•    HOME PAGE:	At the top and bottom of the screen, you'll see our logo. Click this from any page of the site to return to the home page.
•    SEARCH BAR:	Our search bar remains... we've added suggestion dropdowns to help you find exactly what you're looking for.
•    MENUS:	Top "Main Category" menus with dropdown and expandable Sub-category menus.
•    CATEGORIES:	With products that span multiple species and are relevant to multiple disciplines, we have organized them under multiple categories. Additionally, our products come in a number of different configurations (articulated, disarticulated, partial skeletons, axial and appendicular (limbs) elements, joints, and individual bones), and we offer accessories for display and storage. We have attempted to organize our menus to make finding what you want easier, as well as to allow you to explore and discover items that will fulfill your needs.
•    NAVIGATION      COLUMN:	On the left side of Category and Sub-category landing pages. Selections duplicate the dropdown menu, including expandable Sub-categories.
•    FILTERS:	We've added filters so you can refine your searches, available in many Categories. As an example, in "Human Skulls", filter options include Geographic Ancestry and Sex.
•    GROUPS:	We have added a group page for products which can be ordered in multiple articulations or which have constituent parts that can also be ordered separately. Multiple items can be ordered or wishlisted from a Product Group page.

PRODUCT PAGE

We've organized our product pages to show a larger image of each product, as well as multiple views when available. As always, the scientific name, catalog number, size, and price are listed. In addition to product information, many products feature a Group Tab. This means that additional products or configurations are available, such as a skull, skeleton, elements, or individual parts of a set.

Because so many of our products can be used in conjunction with other categories of product, we've added  Tags,  Also See, and Related Product links to our Product Pages to help you find what you are looking for.

•    GROUP TAB:	Some, but not all, products feature a GROUP TAB.   On the group page you will find the different articulations and elements available for a particular skeleton or set.
•    RELATED      PRODUCTS:	A small sampling of items related by differing characteristics, species, fields of study, etc. Found at the bottom of the Product Page, above the Footer.
•    TAGS:	A 'shortcut search' that returns multiple items having a similar characteristic, or belonging to a category or group as referenced in the Tag word.
•    ALSO SEE:	Directly related products. Individual members of sets, other finishes or articulations.
•    ACCESSORIES:	Optional stands, bags, and carrying cases, easily selectable from the product's page.

VIEWING

•    GRID / LIST:	You can now see our product indexes in either grid or list layout. You can choose to see 30, 60, or 90 products per page.
•    QUICK VIEW:	From a page with multiple products shown. Pop-up a snapshot of the product's page, with larger photos, product information, and navigation options.
•    LARGER VIEW:	From the Product Page, clicking on a featured photo pops up a larger view without leaving the page.

PURCHASING, PLUS...

•    CART:	You can add multiple products to the cart without leaving a page. You can add or remove a quantity of items from the cart.
•    YOUR      ACCOUNT:	You can create an account for faster checkout, to save your Wishlist or Shopping Cart, and to subscribe to our Email newsletters. Not required to place an order, nor for temporary Wishlists.
•    FAVORITES      / WISHLIST:	The favorites / wishlist button allows you to create lists for yourself or your purchasing departments.
•    SHARING:	We've added the ability to share our pages more easily. Click on the  icon for additional options, including sharing a page or Wishlist via email.
•    PDF / FLIP      CATALOGS:	We've retained links to our PDF catalogs (Human and Zoological), which can be flipped through, searched, printed, and downloaded from within the document. (Products introduced after publication of our printed catalog can be found under our “New Products" category.)
•    PRICELIST      AT A GLANCE:	In concise list form, this searchable PDF tool, organized by Discipline and Type of Product, can help you quickly scan a large volume of our products.
•    PRINTING:	We've added a printer icon  to product pages, and optimized them for printing.
