“While working on my first StoreFront 6 website,
I saw the need for improvement in the detail images.”
- Randall Moore, Stokes Web Designs
The Need to See More
Many merchants quickly discover the need to enhance
their StoreFront product detail page to show multiple images for each product.
In some cases, the purpose may be to display available styles or colors of the
same product. Or, merchants may need to display alternative views of the same
product, such as front and back, or a detail.
The Stokes Web Multi-Image Product Display
StoreFront Add-on provides the ability to show multiple images of the same
product on a single page with great flexibility and a minimum of administration.
During installation, this modification can be fully configured to display the
products in any position and grouping on the page.
An Elegant Presentation
Best of all, when a user clicks on one of the
thumbnail images, the image is displayed as the larger main image. Clicking on
successive thumbnails causes the large image to change each time on the same
page without the use of pop-up windows. In a world where an increasing number of
users block pop-ups, this image-swapping approach has major advantages. All
images load seamlessly and provide a unique user experience, where the
alternative images are shown in an easy, at-a-glance presentation.
It Doesn’t Get Any Easier
“Based on client feedback, I refined the
modification into the customized control that it is today.” - Randall Moore of
Stokes Web Designs.
Some modifications to StoreFront are a thing of
beauty. The Multi-Image Product Display is one such solution. Stokes Web worked
hard to make this one of the easiest to maintain, flexible and elegant
StoreFront enhancements available today.
Installation Included
“In order to provide the highest level of
customer satisfaction, we offer the modification installed only,” explains
Randall Moore of Stokes Web Designs. This modification sells for $75 installed,
and is both easy and flexible to maintain.
Some merchants and developers prefer to install
their own add-ons - Stokes Web has found that installing their products as part
of a solution package is easier and faster than having to provide technical
support during the installation. For this reason, Stokes Web designates their
products as Modifications, rather than Add-ons.
Other Benefits
For merchants who need it, the ability to display
alternative thumbnails and swap images on the fly represents a significant
enhancement to the way StoreFront presents product data.
Additionally, the Stokes Web Multi-Image Product
Display modification features:
Negligible modification of StoreFront files -
no compiling required
No administration is required - just name
image files according to the Stokes Web convention and upload them to your
site
Support for up to 15 thumbnail images per
product - higher numbers possible with a simple modification
If no thumbnails are present, nothing is
displayed - no broken images
Easily configured to display thumbnails
anywhere on the page
Works with both .jpg and .gif files.
At $75 installed, the Stokes Web Multi-Image
Product Display is one of your best bet sales presentation tools, and one of our
top picks as a must-have StoreFront 6 Add-on. For more information on the Stokes
