[IxDA Discuss] Yellow pages listing

[Sunandini Basu]

Hi
I'm designing a Yellow Pages search for a portal. One way of doing it is
like AOL<http://yellowpages.aol.com/main.adp?_dirpid=648&_diraction=main&brand=aolyp>,
where there's a location based search and also a Browse by category kind of
feature.
Yahoo <http://yp.yahoo.com/> follows something similar and also has a Browse
by city option.

I'm tyring to provide a Browse by category page and the Choose location is
in another tab. Is it better to provide both browse by category and a browse
by location on the same page? I'm trying to avoid a very "form" look as my
potential user base do not like selecting/entering too much info.

Is there any other way of desgning this, with minimal clicks?

Cheers
Soo
