[Add to Cart] Position on Page

Postby Larry Bohen » Fri Nov 07, 2003 6:59 am

When using the ShopSite standard format, the [Add to Cart] button is only
allowed at the botton of the More Information Text page which is often
"below the fold" (I.E. The visitor has to scroll down the page to see/click
on it.) The most important/effective area of a Web page is that which the
visitor sees when the page first loads, without having to scroll. Ideally,
I'd like the [Add to Cart] button near the top (below the product name) of
the More Information Text page.

I know I could do this if we used a custom template, however the standard
templates work fine for us.

ShopSite tells me that I am the only one who has mentioned this and that it
will likely not be implemented.

Would anyone else like to have the option of having the [Add to Cart] button
near the top of the More Information Text page?

I don't know about at the top of the page...
but to have it centered at the bottom doesn't make any sense either!

I believe that the best location for the "add to cart" and or "view cart"
should be right after the price and "on sale" text!

If this were applied to both the "product" and it's more "information page",
it would likely be a lot closer to what the majority of e-commerce sites
are doing... and looking to do.

Ok... I'll climb of the soap box now...

I think Keith said it right. Put the ATC button right after the price where
it belongs.
