Help me set up my shop similar to another one

[cheapcar]

Hi All,

 

I'd like to set up my product descriptions to have a similar look to this website:

 

www.printzone.com.au

 

Specifically I'd like to understand how they have set up their shop to have all of the funky blurb for each of their product listings... For example on this url

 

http://www.printzone.com.au/laserjet-cp1515-cm1312-125a-set-of-toner-cartridges-p-3992.html

 

They have:

A listing of all the printers the cartridges go in and the list is linked to a listing for the printer

For example the bit at

Works in: (click on the printer name to see all cartridges suitable for the machine)

Colour Laserjet CM1312 Colour Laserjet CM1312nfi Colour Laserjet CP1215 Colour Laserjet CP1515 Colour Laserjet CP1515n Colour Laserjet CP1518 Colour Laserjet CP1518ni

 

To manually update and maintain all of this would be a nightmare and completely unmanageable so I'm curious if there is some sort of a contribution they are using for it.

 

Also when you click one of the links it takes you to a URL that appears is not navigable from any menu system on the site...

 

for example clicking Colour Laserjet CM1312 takes you to http://www.printzone.com.au/hp-colour-laserjet-cm1312-toner-cartridges-e-8285.html... I have tried to navigate to this page through the menu system but it looks like it isn't actually linked from the menu system. I didn't know that was possible to do. If so? how would I do that?

 

Then, on that page, the navigation in the content allows to click straight on an anchor for value packs and genuine toners but these have to be pulled from the database. Having this page made manually would again be completely un-manageable as the pricing changes monthly and needs to be updateable in bulk.

 

Also on every page they have information about shipping, payment methods etc etc. How does one do that?

 

If anyone can help me out with how this site is set up and what contributions I should be looking at that would be great!

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Very keyword intensive. They did a lot of work to make their site.

 

In the products_info.php they added some after the standard product info. I would assume the how you pay done statically. It's just entered somewhere in the database then pulled it with calls to products_name and products_image thrown in there.

As for the somewhat spammy part before how you pay, that can be done in a similar way but maybe maintained for each product / printer.

 

As for whats compatible for each printer again another custom set of code that shows the product_listing but appends printer image and printer info to the top and bottom.

 

Prices aren't that hard to maintain if you use easy populate or in my personal opinion software management like Magnetic One offers. I work with a store that has 10k products that often have price changes and quantity price breaks. Setting up an excel sheet is the key to making the prices ready to change weekly.

 

Lastly the error page is simply a custom 404 error page.

 

I would imagine in the printer ink world there is a hell of a lot of competition refills and knowing your products is what is going to set it apart. The business model would have to be selling by volumes and they realized helping people find the ink / toner is the way to go and focused on making it easy to find.

That was actually my mistake I meant to link this page: http://www.printzone.com.au/hp-colour-laserjet-cm1312-toner-cartridges-e-8285.html

 

That page seems to exist outside of the menu navigation system.
