Prompts for a e-commerce site

Paste one, change the details to yours. Each names what gets stored before it says how anything should look — that is the difference between a working site and a pretty page.

Product store

Selling a catalogue of physical products

Build an online store. Products show in a grid with a photo, name, price and short description, each with its own page. Group products into categories I can browse. Add a cart and a checkout. Include shipping and returns, and a contact page. Photo-led — let the product images carry the page.

One-product store

A single product that needs a page, not a catalogue

Build a site to sell one product. The product has a name, a price, photos, a description, what is in the box and a shipping time. The home page is that product, with a buy button. Below it, answers to the questions people ask before buying, and what happens after they order. Add a checkout. No catalogue, no categories — one thing, sold well.

Digital downloads store

Selling files rather than parcels

Build a store selling digital files. Each product has a name, a price, a description, a preview image and a file. After paying, the buyer gets access to their download. Show my products in a grid, each with its own page. Add a page about licensing and what buyers may do with the files, and a contact page.
