What Is Page Designer?
Page Designer is a B2C Commerce feature that supports standard development processes and tools for creating reusable page types and component types. Merchants can use a visual editor in Business Manager to design, schedule, and publish custom pages in the storefront by dragging the page and component types. Merchants can use the same page and component types to create a variety of pages independently, without going back to the developer for updates. This topic applies to B2C Commerce.
The typical Page Designer implementation process includes these steps.
- The ecommerce marketing director meets with the developer to discuss the pages, components, layouts, and assets required for the storefront.
- The developer creates the reusable page types and component types that support the ecommerce marketing director's requirements.
- The developer uploads the custom cartridge that contains the page and component types and another custom cartridge that contains supporting UI artifacts to a site.
- The merchant uses the Page Designer visual editor in Business Manager to build storefront pages using the page and component types that the developer has implemented.
Page Designer also supports content asset data binding, which allows components to dynamically pull content from content assets. This means you can reuse the same content across multiple pages and update it from a single location. For more information, see Binding Components to Content Assets.
