The new Web site was a vast improvement over the old site; much better organized with improved browsing and search functions. The site offered about the same number of items as the previous site
(about 500,000 items; several times more than what the physical stores carry); however, the newer site had more consumer electronics, toys, and sporting goods with fewer offerings of consumable products.
Wal-Mart also created a separate distribution center to serve Walmart.com exclusively.
