Coder’s Corner – Expand Product Details with Spec. Sheets

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

One of my favorite features in AspDotNetStorefront also happens to be one of the least used.

Many products in your eCommerce store may end up having extra long product descriptions, and sometimes, that may cause the user to have to scroll to read it all, or they may miss other valuable information on that page, or they may see the 10 mile long product description, decide they don’t feel like reading that much, and close the page altogether!

So, how do you keep your product detail pages short and sweet without losing all of that valuable information? Spec Sheets!

Spec sheets are great for storing additional information related to the product that there just isn’t room for on the page. This feature creates a link for you on the page that goes to a pop up window that contains your extra details. This can be a bullet list of product specifications, manufacturer content, warranty information, or anything else product related.

The page is even HTML, so you can put any text or images in here you like.
