You can set up as many zones in a site as you want but we recommend you keep the number of zones within the limits of reason. Considering the fact that an average person can keep in the span of attention 5-7 objects, the average number of zones monitored by an operator should be the same. Probably not all the sections of your site are equally important, so we do not recommend to create more zones than is absolutely necessary.
As to the content of your zones, again, it depends on what is convenient to you and what kind of information about your visitors' behavior on the site you want to get.
The basic set of zones for an e-commerce website is probably the following:
| • | Default zone (all your website pages if they are not ascribed to other zones); |
| • | Catalog (all the pages on which products can be viewed); |
| • | Product info (the pages where the customers can see the details about all the products in Catalog); |
| • | Cart (the page where the customers can see and manage the contents of their shopping carts); |
| • | Checkout (the page(s), where the customers can choose the shipping and payment methods for their orders and provide their payment details). |
| • | Help, Legal (help and other useful information). |
Use this set of zones as is or set up zones of your own depending on the structure of your site.
