e commerce - Should I show a list of products if there is only one product?


Let's say that due to filtering or searching or what have you, there's only one item in the list of products. Should I still show the list for the sake of consistency, or is it more usable to go directly to the product details page?


The system is designed for easy use on a tablet, so there's a sequence of screens where the user can enter information to narrow down the appropriate products for them, some of which are optional and do not appear when there are no options to choose from on them.



Answer



Yes, Show the list and from there if the user wants to go to the product he has total control.


The expected behavior when a person searches for a product is to be shown is a list of products and if that step is side stepped and he is directly taken to the product page, he might get confused and wonder what happened.


Here is an example of how Ebay Handles it
