A computer-implemented method of generating pages in a markup language for selecting products, comprising: inputting attribute groups into a databank; inputting attributes into the databank, each of the attributes being assigned to one of the attribute groups; inputting product information into the databank, each item of the product information being assigned to at least one of the attributes; generating a page in the markup language for each of the attribute groups, wherein representations of the attributes are assigned to the respective ones of the attribute groups, and input fields for a user to specify the attributes are generated on each of the pages associated with each of the attribute groups, respectively, wherein the pages display representations of products; storing the pages in the markup language for access with a browser program; selecting one of the representations of one of the products; calculating a utilization for the selected product based on product properties specified by the user; graphically displaying the calculated utilization of the selected product in the markup language; and calculating a value of an excessive demand on the selected product which fails to correspond to the search profile specified by the user and generating a page in the markup language graphically illustrating the value of excessive demand of the selected product in relation to the property input by the user and displaying the generated page.
