Who is using the builtin Shopsite product & page templates

Postby extragear » Thu Apr 17, 2014 10:46 am

Greetings:

We want to update the product, page templates and associated files we are currently using. One option is to simply hire a designer to do the work. But one thought that came to mind was to look at the builtin stock Shopsite templates.

We would be curious as to how many users are using the stock Shopsite templates? Looking at the list of live stores at:

http://www.shopsite.com/featuredstores/

It doesnt indicate who is using a stock template and who is using a custom design. Note, we do realize we'd need to add some customization to brand a stock template.

So, is there a list of stores using the built in Shopsite templates?

Thanks

Tim

On the featured stores page, the following sites are using built-in ShopSite templates:

http://www.owlsandfriends.com/ (business casual)
http://www.totalwatertowables.com/ (burst theme)
http://www.pick-a-lock.com/ (classy)
http://www.bestbuypoolsupply.com/ (standard)

What are some URLs of websites that you would like your site to look similar to? Make of the built in templates are setup generic enough that they can be customized with a few images, changes of colors, etc, to get a look similar to what you want in your store. If you can give me the URL of a site that you like the look of and would want something similar, I can tell you if there is a built in template that can be customized to fit your needs.

Nicole and Lauren

Thanks for the info.

Lauren, of the examples Nicole provided, bestbuypoolsupply.com appeared to the closet to what we are looking for. The one question we have concerns items with sizes and colors. In this case, they breakdown the size and color offerings in a way we don't currently use. For example, see their http://www.bestbuypoolsupply.com/in-groundwintercover.html page. They put the blue covers on one page and the navy colors on another. For us this wouldnt work for many of the products we sell, for example http://www.snogear.com/hjc-cs-r2-storm-snowmobile-helmet-with-electric-shield.html. As you can see here, this helmet comes several colors and sizes. Listing these options on the page as opposed to a dropdown most likely won't work for us.

Would it be correct to assume that they simply chose to break down the products in this manner rather than its the result of the limitations of the template itself?

Thanks

That is just the way that the merchant chose to display their products. You would be able to display your products with pull down menus like you have now in any templates created by ShopSite.
