Tobii organizes the website to have a consumer move simultaneously through the tabs near the top to get a better understanding of their products and how it could assist a person with a disability. The Products tab is the clearest on the website since it group every product into a nice group and explains it's function.

It is a well designed website that provides a wealth of information that could be helpful to some consumers and overwhelming to others.
