Creating catalog site

My firm owns a couple web sites, one is implemented using everweb, and the other is on shopify I want to re-create a similar catalog style site to replace the shopify site. Here is the challenge... Many of my products are the exact same product with only minor changes that of course affect the price. Could I create a master page for a product category, and then only change the needed items for each individual product? Then if I choose to modify for example the wording of the description, I could do that and all the sub pagers automatically update. Is this possible? BTW the site is biglakesupply.com Thanks! |

Hi James, Thank you for your question. EverWeb doesn't work the same way as Shopify. There is no product catalog with variants, so separate product pages can't share one description while each keeps its own price. However, there are two good options. 1. One page for all variations of a product This is the closest option to what you are looking for. Use a single page with the description written once and all the variations listed together. The PayPal Modern widget can handle this with its Add Options with Price setting, which lets visitors choose a variation, such as Small, Medium or Large, each with its own price. Since the description only exists in one place, you only need to update it once. 2. Master Pages for the shared design A Master Page is a template for the framework around your content, such as the header, navigation, footer and layout. Any change you make on it is reflected exactly as is on all attached pages, but its objects cannot be edited or overridden on individual pages. Its content area should be left empty, since that is where each page adds its own description, details and price. Also, each page can only use one Master Page, so if you create one per category, changes to the header, navigation or footer need to be made on each one.

Thanks! I think what I'll do is use directories for each shopify "category" and then build product pages in each directory. Once the directory pages are built, and the first product page it will be pretty quick to duplicate product pages and change the specifics for each one. |

Hi James, Thank you for the update. That approach works well in EverWeb. Once your first product page is ready, you can right-click (or Control-click on a Mac) the page name in the Web Page List and choose Duplicate to create each new product page in the same directory.
