Types of E-commerce (WIP)

Class task: To explore the different kinds of e-commerce websites, with examples and discuss in my own words.

Business to Consumer  (B2C)

I've looked at Tesco as an example here as it is a supermarket that sells goods to the general public.  This ranges from everyday groceries, to electronics and clothing, depending on the requirements of the customer.  They also offer services like mobile, banking and insurance via their online platform.

Here is a screenshot of their homepage:

There is a lot of information on their page source view and this mirrors the amount of choice the viewer has when entering the website homepage.  You can sign in, find a store, contact the company, as well as accessing all the services that Tesco provide.  Therefore the head part of the HTML view is extensive and I have given a brief view of this in the screenshot below:

The description part though does contain some essential information which should appear on the Google search for Tesco and outlines some of the key points for the company -
