Product Page Design Ideas & Examples

Imagine this: It’s late at night and you find yourself on the web. You’re searching for the perfect solution to the problem that has been nagging at you all week. You’ve been here before. Slouched, head in hands, and sleep is knocking at your door. Just before all hope is lost, Eureka! You finally get a promising search result. With bated breath, you click and…

Nothing happens. After an eternity, a white screen begins to render with walls of text and a single, tiny pixelated product image. Flashbacks from the age of dial-up fill your mind. You scan the page for some remedy, but you’re met with no price info, no customer reviews, and multiple phone numbers telling you to call for more information. Not a working link insight, and their only social proof is an animation of a cat telling you this product is “Purrrrfect!” It’s painfully apparent: you’ve stumbled into a website graveyard.

Don’t let this nightmare be your store! The best user experiences come from websites that are engaging and regularly updated, rather than sites that leave the user wondering if they should run their anti-virus software. Whether you’re just getting started or you’re looking to give your ecommerce store an update, our ecommerce developers here to help!

In this article, we’ll go over the minimum criteria that every product page should have, as well as some design choices to avoid. We’ve even put together a collection of our favorite product pages with a quick pros and cons list for each to help inspire your next project!


Building the Perfect Product Page

The purpose of your product page is to, well, sell your product! But it’s also about understanding what your visitors expect your website to do for them. The average person in the US spends seven hours and 50 minutes per day on the internet. With so much time each day invested in looking at different websites, people visiting your site will treat their experience the same way a first-class sommelier would critique a bottle of wine. Your visitors are highly capable of picking up on the nuances between a good experience and a bad one. 

Not only should your product page include the fundamentals your visitors have come to expect, but it should provide a frictionless user experience while also including your own unique flair that will keep them coming back.

Meeting the expectations of your users can feel like walking a tight rope if you aren’t sure what they’re looking for. This is why we put together a guide outlining best and worst practices for designing your product page that will help you engage with users and ultimately increase your conversion rate.

Best Practices for Ecommerce Product Page Design

There is a lot that goes into making brilliant product pages, so we’ve created a list of product page features and concepts that we find the most important to improving your visitor’s experience when used tastefully.

  • Clean URL
  • Captivating name
  • Transparent and upfront pricing information
  • High visibility Call to Actions (CTA’s)
  • Item availability
  • Distinct product options
  • Clear product pictures with multiple camera angles, situations, and models
  • Ability to compare similar products
  • “Add to favorites/wishlist” button
  • High quality, web optimized images, videos, and gifs
  • FAQ section
  • Zoom functionality
  • Augmented reality
  • 360° view
  • Vivid product descriptions
  • Live chat feature
  • A mixture of product and lifestyle media for story narration
  • Responsive design
  • Relevant “related products” section
  • “Upsell” section
  • Ability to increase the quantity of product
  • Size/fit guide (if applicable)
  • Seamless navigation
  • Intuitive filter options
  • Sticky “Back to Top” button
  • Highly accessible to differently-abled users
  • Upfront shipping and return policies
  • Sticky “Add to Cart” or “Buy Now” buttons
  • Social proof
  • Extended details (materials, technical specs, dimensions, weight, special features, etc.
  • No redundancy
  • A spacious and interesting font
  • Quick load times
  • Cross-browser functionality
  • Dark mode friendly

One word of caution- be careful of feature creep. This is when a page takes on so many unnecessary features that it ends up harming the overall user experience. An augmented reality feature might not help a company that sells toothpicks, but it would help a company that sells large furniture. Be sure to take the time to evaluate which features could help showcase your product better without adding everything under the sun to your page.

What to Avoid When Designing Product Pages

As you start to implement the best practices into your site, you should be mindful of some of the worst practices listed below. These concepts can range in severity from confusing users by using the hyperlink blue font color for normal text, to something more malicious, like sneaking unwanted items into a person’s shopping cart.

  • Too many colors
  • Convoluted price
  • Inconsistent design
  • Bait and switch tactics
  • Hide additional fees
  • Too long/too short or copied description
  • Inconsistent product names
  • False guarantees
  • Recommend non-relevant products
  • Burying call to actions
  • Small & poor quality images, videos, gifs
  • Negative talk/social proof
  • Reoccuring pop-ups
  • Confirmshaming
  • Sneaking items into your cart
  • Unclear navigation
  • Compact font
  • Busy negative space
  • No FAQ
  • No social proof
