● Search Results - This tab represents a Search Results page that will appear once a customer has used search functionality on the ecommerce website to search for something.
● Product Details - This tab represents a product details page that is unique to each product clicked on from the homepage or from search results. When a customer clicks on a product, the product details page loads up.
