Bjornskov Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Good morning, I am currently working on a webshop selling quite different products. Some of the products is pretty unique and we would like to have those products to stand out. We have therefore decided to do some more in marketing them and make some nice product pages for them. But the first problem occurs. Is it possible at all to custom design each product with its own design template? I want to assign that design to each product separately. I would be grateful to hear what you guys knows about this. Best regards, Martin Bjørnskov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denver Prophit Jr. Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) How will mobile benefit from all of that? Why not focus on the content? Perhaps, use bootstrap tabs and add a video tab for video marketing. Link the youtube description and hovercard back to the product page. Socialize and use product ad placements on bing and google. There are wordpress integration modules. Write blog entries about it. I'm sure you already know about all of those guerilla marketing techniques. =) Edited September 25, 2015 by Denver Prophit Jr. (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selectshop.at Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) I don't think that you will sell more, if each product page has an own page design. Sorry but this is a designer point of view, but not from a seller. Does Amazon has own design for each product page ? No, besides it will give a flair of chaos for the user of your page. I cannot see any benefit in what you are trying to fulfil. I totaslly agree to what Dever said, it is better you invest your time in unique content (product description, integration of social commerce, YT, blog, etc.) Edited September 25, 2015 by selectshop.at (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjornskov Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys, Thank you for the answers. I am not sure I understand the argument of mobile users. If things is designed well, it will be just as user friendly as normal. And I am quite convenienced that it will work. Stores use it several places, and just because amazon doesn't, it may be a good idea to think out of the box and split test it Still would like to try it out and see if it works, but don't know how...

Denver Prophit Jr. Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Be prepared to spend several thousands on code and design costs then. There are SEVERAL reasons why flashy designs haven't worked since the late 80's UI's should be uniform, clean and clear of clutter. When there are changes to the core that affect the theme, you're going to have to rehire that developer to merge changes. Just my professional opinion. =) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgamio Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi Bjornskov You need first identify the product on the product.tpl maybe use some data from the product details or create a option on you product data Change the product.tpl to dont show data instead use as many include you need to load to new templates to the product type you need Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add: the question is not amazon or not, but if you want to sell, or if you want a flashy design, which is outdaded since 80's. But well try out. You are young and what it seems a designer. Me and Denver are sales experts. Our thing is sale performance and usability, which is primary goal of an online shop and not the design. I'm quite curious about your longterm performance sales results with A/B tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgamio Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Your solution maybe works but you are not right 100% 1) You should not change direct the ProductController direct you should do a override because if you update you are going to lost the changes. 2) You want to do a cosmetic change then you should not depend on the controller you should use your theme files, you can do the same redirect on yours tpl files indise the theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
