Individual listings for products
Hi I'm in the process of putting a static site for a local car garage onto Perch so they can update their site as and when.
One thing they need is to be able to add new cars to the site when they come in, and for SEO purposes each car ideally needs to have its own page.
Playing around with Perch, it seems there is not really a practical in the way of doing this. I thought if the client could add a page for each car using a master page that would be fine. However having played around it seems pretty impractical.
Would this be better suited to using one of the apps such as the blog app or shop app?
Thanks
Hi Joe, it sounds perfectly suited to Perch 'Content' using the List and Detail technique. Here are instructions on how: https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/content/functions/how-do-i-create-list-detail-pages/
It's the method I used for this client who adds wall and floor tile products: https://www.slwallsandfloors.co.uk/our-range/
As you can see, clicking on a product shows the full product details as though it's on its own page.
Simon,
Why did I not know about this?! On the face of it this looks perfect. If I can execute it half as well as you have done on the tile site I'll be more than happy.
Many thanks for your prompt and genuinely helpful reply!
