Setting jQuery Catalog For Selling Products Online

How does a jQuery catalog help online sellers? Well, I’ve used the word jQuery for the reason that it’s an oft-used piece of computer program that makes it easy to do myriad things in your website.

But frankly – to come back to my question – does it really make a lot of difference if you are to use jQuery to design your online product catalog?

To answer that let us consider a small business e-store that has some dozen products displayed in its website for selling online. The sale is poor, and the small business owner is not sure what could be the reason(s) for it.

There can be several, some of which may be owing to the product catalog failing to convert the viewers into buyers. That again can happen if, for example, the display images are just not good enough to lure the prospects.

jQuery catalog can go a long way to mitigate this problem of displaying product images in the webpage. As part of our endeavor at 2WebVideo to help the small website owners with their web business, we make video tutorials in this blog that explain simple ways to do things in the website using free tools.

In the past, we have made 2 tutorials using free jQuery scripts to design online product catalog. The video below shows how they can be made to work. This is followed by details of how you can do it in your website. You also get the full HTML code that you can use for your need.

Product Catalog With jQuery Zoom-In

With jQuery zoom-in it is possible to make an exciting product catalog within a limited space. The jQuery catalog is made of 2 adjacent boxes. On the left is displayed the smaller image of the product (see the image below), and on the right comes the detail description of the product including a Buy Now link.

When you move the mouse on the smaller image on the left, the bigger image shows up in the right box displacing the description. In the bigger zoomed image one can check the product displayed more minutely.

jQuery Catalog With Fancy Zoom

jQuery fancy zoom is yet another way to design your product catalog. In this case when the thumbnails of product images are clicked (see the image below; a product image is about to zoom), the bigger image zooms on a separate layer usually called an overlay lightbox.
