The Collections page features a horizontal scroll for easy browsing.

PRODUCT CARD

It’s the page showcasing key details of the photography print: name, price, collection, edition, signature by Steven, printing, framing, shipping, payment, and custom details. The picture remains static while product info can be scrolled on the right side of the screen. Users can optionally select frame sizes and canvas types, with these options listed in a dropdown menu. The framing types automatically convert between millimetres and inches based on user preferences.

BLOG

In a Shopify online store for photography prints, a Blog serves as a valuable platform for sharing information about photography, art, and related topics. It enables photographers to share the stories behind their prints, fostering a connection with the audience and providing deeper insight into the art. A Blog is a powerful tool for storytelling, education, improving SEO, engaging with the audience, and promoting the store further.

LAYOUT AND SHOPIFY INTEGRATION WITH THE ONLINE STORE

CMS Shopify allows for the quick and efficient integration of site design with functionality. We build, design, and integrate themes/layouts into a Shopify online store. You don’t need to use any third-party services to sell with Shopify. This means that your shop will be hosted on Shopify’s servers, and you’ll use their checkout process. It is SEO-friendly and provides more customization and opportunities for expanding your store. For more details about Shopify development and integrations, click here.
