Currently, the information on the Web is countless, which is throughout tens of thousands of Web sites all over the world. And the Web site intertwined with each other through hyperlinks between documents. Regardless of such a big scale of the Web information, it will continue expanding.

Information visualization will play an increasingly important role in helping people understand the structure of the information space, finding information needed quickly and preventing the lost in the information ocean effectively. The paper used the Multi-hierarchy information visualization on a specific e-commerce web site, and established a three-dimensional products display system. According to the analysis of users on business web site, the establishment of a representative user model was established. In accordance with the user model, system function was analyzed and integrated, and task analysis was hierarchical.
