What customers and partners say

Included in the lead-to the Commerce Page Designer launch, we labored with several global brands to validate our early concepts. One of these simple, a footwear and accessories brand, intends to use Commerce Page Designer for his or her webpage (which exists today) along with a new content and commerce category page (which hasn't yet been developed). That page will reveal key product collections through wealthy brand storytelling, and become managed by business users according to customized, brand wealthy templates built by front-finish developers.

A strong partner ecosystem may also support Commerce Page Designer, giving brands an option in page components. These include:

• Cloudinary - Cloudinary offers Commerce Cloud brands dynamic images and videos that boost the finish-consumer experience. Marketers could also easily automate common operations for example image and video resizing, adding overlays and adjusting to cellular devices with Cloudinary’s AI abilities to master the appear and feel from the design.
• Zmags - The Creator by Zmags component enables Commerce Cloud brands to interrupt free of templates and make interactive, shoppable content - outfit builders, quizzes, shop-the-room - with no coding.

Ways to get began

We estimate it will require about two days for developers and business users to collaborate on-page types and component types needed, according to an agreed-upon design, as well as for development teams to construct them. Then, business users may use (and reuse) the page types and component types to produce new pages with no developer dependency.
