I want to have different icons for online resellers and storefronts–or those who sell online and at a retail location. If they are online, it might not matter where they are located. I use WordPress. Is there a way to have multiple icons differentiating online, storefront, both?

Thanks!

Thanks Arley. I may do a “Regrettable User Experience” article about store locators at some point. There’s no shortage of bad examples. I’ve cited a few examples of the good ones in the article, but very few websites get all of the elements right. More often they do one or two things well and miss the mark in other ways.

Great article!

I’d love to see some examples of the very best and very worst you’ve seen.
