MaxiPARTS is your one-stop shop for all Truck and Trailer Parts. With 21 sites around Australia, they have one of the most comprehensive core product ranges covering everything from lights, tools, oil and filters through to axles, suspensions, tyres and brakes.

What the client needed was an online resource for all of these products. They needed a large online store/catalogue so that people could search and look at whatever product information they needed. They didn't necessarily need to have all products purchasable on the site as some were just too difficult or bulky to send off. Items like oil, suspension systems, axles etc. So some products would be purchasable on the site like light bulbs, tools, filters etc but all others purely served as an information page about a particular product.

The main difficulty with this site was the size of it. There were upwards of 250,000 individual products and each product had multiple data points from dimensions to the type of truck and much more. This made categorising the products increasingly difficult as the site was overflowing with categories. This made searching for products increasingly difficult. The solution was to limit the categories to the bare necessity and essentially use the filtering system to break it down even further.

This site was built in CS-Cart with a custom theme leveraging a number of jQuery libraries to put the search together.
