After analyzing the use of our filters on desktop and mobile, the following was determined:
1. Desktop users hardly interact with our side navigation or the list view of filters located below on our product listing pages.
2. The majority of the site's traffic, almost 70%, is visiting via a mobile device. Which lead me down the path of removing the side nav and the filters from the page. This allowed our product photography to get larger and have more of an impact on the page.
3. How we displayed the filters needed to be more user friendly. We moved the filters from a modal that took up the whole page to a tray that slides in from the right of the users screen. The user can choose to expand the various filters they are interested in.
