StoreFront 5.0 Creating Product Pages In addition to formatting your site to use a consistent design, you also need to determine how you will present your products to customers so that they can place orders. This is done through the use of Product Pages: special ASP pages that contain the StoreFront components necessary to allow a customer to buy an item online. This chapter describes the components of Product Pages, the different types of Product Pages, and the steps you must take to create them. WHAT IS A PRODUCT PAGE? A Product Page is a web page that has had StoreFront components added to it to integrate it with the rest of an e-commerce web. The essential components of a Product Page are product bots. A product bot is a form element that consists of two main visible features: a quantity box and an Add to Order button. When you create a product bot for a specific item and then place it on a page, your customers can order that product by entering a quantity and clicking the Add to Order button. A single Product Page can contain product bots for any number of products. You can create 3 basic variations of product bots: Run-Time Product Bots, Design-Time Product Bots, and Multiple-Product Bots. These are described later in this chapter. You can also add data elements and options like Save to Cart and EMail to a Friend to a product page. These are also covered in this chapter. Continue reading to learn how to create a Product Page. In addition to product pages that you create yourself by adding a product bot to a page, you can also dynamically generate product pages through the use of specially designed hyperlinks created with the Page Link Creator. Dynamically generated product pages do not provide you with the same amount of design control, but they have several advantages, including the speed with which they can be created and their inherently uniform design. Dynamically generated product pages do not require any maintenance. They pull their information directly from your database each time a customer views them, and any changes you make to the inventory list in your database will be reflected immediately. Dynamically generated product pages are described in detail beginning on page 157 of this chapter, under Dynamically Generating Product Pages. 146
User Guide USING THE PRODUCT PAGE TEMPLATE StoreFront 5.0 includes a Product Page Template to assist you in the design of your web and the creation of product pages. The Product Page Template is a web page that contains additional ASP code that allows it to use the same Theme as your StoreFront pages. This means that general design elements, such as font size, font color, and background colors or images for the page will be determined by the Theme in use in your web. See Using the StoreFront Themes, page 101, for more information on using Themes. You can access the Product Page Template by opening FrontPage and switching to Page view. Click File, then select New, then Page. Select StoreFront 5.0 Product Page Template from the list of available page templates, then click OK. The page that opens in FrontPage will consist simply of some table cells with comments in them. The blank page is shown below. 147
