New Product Page Layout for axis vMerchant Express
Release Date: 14/04/2026
As part of our programme of on-going improvements and enhancements to axis vMerchant Express, we have released a new layout for the product page.
This has been developed as a result of feedback from clients and research into current trends as well as reassessing the types of information being shown on a cross-section of our client sites.
The changes include:
- Moving the headings to the right and making the right-hand column narrower (the two columns are now equal in width). These two changes have allowed us to give more prominence to the image(s). This also means that, in many cases, more of the image is visible without needing to scroll down despite being larger.
- The part codes have been moved down below the Buy button as they generally less critical.
- The quantity to buy, stock availability (if shown) and Buy buttons are now always next to one another as these are all directly related to the buying process.
- The social bookmarking (share) links are now at the top of the content rather than under the Buy button as this is a widely-adopted convention. For sites using product reviews, the rating also appears in the same area.
- The spacing has been tightened up around Custom Stock Data that is represented as a Specification table to reduce the overall page size without affecting legibility.
