First impressions are everything. Many store owners spend time tweaking their homepage, but often forget about the importance of awell designed product page.
Choosing an appropriate way to showcase your products is essential, as it can either drive users to continue to checkout, or click away from your store.
In this post, we’ll look at some excellent examples of product pages, why they’re effective, and how you can replicate them for your store.
Let’s get started.
Best Made Company
Best Madewas founded in 2009 by Peter Buchanan-Smith who saw a need for a better axe. They are known for building a catalog of of precisely designed, sustainable tools. Best Made has beautiful product page features that are consistent across their entire catalog.
1. Powerful product description:
Best Made hasexcellent product descriptionsfor every product. They’re carefully written, and are extremely descriptive.
They include enticing buzzwords and phrases like “built to last”, and“nothing makes for a more perfect gift, than this box of possibilities”that gets the reader excited about the product.
The descriptions are written with their target market in mind, but are also simple enough for anyone to understand.
2. Well placed call-to-action:
A clear call-to-action serves one purpose: getting your potential customers to the checkout more quickly. It should be instantly visible on the product page.
On Best Made, the “Add to cart” button appears just under the product’s price, and is acolored to grab our attention.
3. Thorough product shots:
It’s clear that Best Made has invested a lot of time and effort intocapturing their products in a specific aesthetic- and it really pays off. Their product shots are nothing short of amazing, and as a visitor, you're drawn into the page because of it.
Because the images are such high resolution, as a potential customer, we’re able to really see the amount of detail that goes into each product.

2. Social sharing:
Something that Johnny Cupcakes does that I haven’t seen anywhere else, is beyond just including the standard social share buttons, they’ve also attached a hashtag unique to the product.
This is extremely clever as it can help promote your product across different platforms that support hashtags such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It allows Johnny Cupcakes to find user generated product images which can be used to reward customers, or showcase them on their own social media pages.
3. Size chart:

By using dropdown tabs, Zoku is able to add additional product information into their page without it being too crowded, and without sending a visitor to another page.
They’ve included the most appropriate information in the main product description, and any additional information has been included in a drop-down menu.
2. Informative variant images:
As we saw in the Best Made example, using variant images can be extremely beneficial for your product. Not only does it let you show other angles of the product, but you can include functioning product shots to give your potential customers an idea of how it works.
3. Simplicity in a cluttered space:
One of the most important aspects of any product page is having a simple design. It can be tough to find a balance between too much information and lack of information, and Zoku has done a fantastic job at finding this balance.

Because of the type of product Holstee sells, they are able to take advantage of the variant options feature within Shopify. Sometimes, you may want to sell products that are very similar (e.g. A desk in two different colors, or a T-shirt in different sizes). Shopify refers to these similar products asProduct variants.
Holstee uses this to sell their products in different sizes, and with other upselling positions like adding a frame to the print.
3. Cross selling within product page:
One way to get more dollar value from a potential customer, is to upsell or crossell within the product page itself. There's a few ways to do this, and Holstee has done a fantastic job by upselling in a non-intrusive way by showing other product options in their product description.

FiftyThree
FiftyThree builds beautiful, practical, and meaningful stuff. To date, they've built up an amazing catalog of products for the creative space. Tools as simple as a pen and paper.
1. What's in the box?
Thanks to Apple, beautiful package design is expected nowadays - and FiftyThree has nailed this out of the park.
Presentation during the unboxing experience is something everyone looks forward to. In fact, unboxing videos have become so popular that there's even one forthe Pencil.
2. How does it work?
One of my favourite things about any web design or product page, is being able to convey sufficient information without having to write out a long list of features and how-tos.
FiftyThree does this effectively by simply listing what iPads the Pencil works on, and then also links to a page that helps potential customers find out which iPad they have.
3. What is it?
To a visitor who's unfamiliar with the design world, the Pencil might look like a big marker at first. However, because FiftyThree has such a strong sense of design for their product page, they make it extremely clear that the Pencil is actually a stylus for iPad.
