Theme

As you browse your BPD website, you'll notice that it has a consistent look and feel across all the various page types. Whether it's a product page, a news article, or the home page, there are familiar elements common to all of them.

This is thanks to the site's Theme. 

In addition to overarching style elements such as font type and size, the BPD Theme also governs the content of your site's common features such as:

  • Top Bar
  • Header
  • Navigation, and Footer

Page Templates

Each page of your BPD website incorporates a Page Template that you are able to change to create custom pages.  They contain your content within defined ‘zones’ that organise the layout. 

This gives the site its structure and allows page content to be responsive depending on the device used to view, and the personalisation rules you have set in place.

There are 4 5 template types:

  1. Theme Layout - site header and footer content, as well as overall look and feel. See What is the Theme Layout? for more detail.
  2. Standard Pages - core pages common to all sites, such as the Cart, Product Detail, and Order History, to name a few. 
  3. Custom Pages - content pages unique to your site. This might be your FAQs, About Us, or Terms & Conditions.
  4. Emails - customisable email templates for communications such as Order Confirmation, Order Shipped, or New User Registration.

Widgets

In a nutshell, widgets Widgets are handy little reusable modules that display content and user interface (UI) elements on your BPD website (and emails!).

All widgets can offer a huge range of End User personalisation options.  You have the ability to allow full visibility for everyone or control their appearance by who is viewing the page and/or how they behave.

This is achieved by configuring ‘Roles’ and ‘Personalisation Rules’.

Our widgets use Razor markup language to access the database, fetch data and display it to the end user in a pre-styled output format.

BPD widgets are used in a variety of scenarios, including but not limited to:

  • Company Logo display
  • Add to Cart button
  • Product image gallery
  • Embedded video
  • Delivery address input
