Smalldog.com Updates: Specials & Product Views
Some of you savvy online shoppers may have noticed a few changes around our website in recent weeks. Well, those little code monkeys we employ at Small Dog have been hard at work creating some changes to give our website a fresh new feel to keep up with the ever-changing trends of web design.
If you haven’t already, check out our slight makeover of the Specials page after you’re done reading. It’s gotten the grid treatment that our product listing pages now offer (more on that below), which we like to call a carousel view. You can now scroll through our specials horizontally by hovering over the arrows, which is ideal for smaller screens — including mobile devices, obviously. More updates are coming to this page soon, too.
Additionally, we’ve rolled out what’s called “product lines” in our specials, which really just means that you can now choose your computer model options within an individual ‘wag.’ In other words, if you’re looking for a 15-inch MacBook Pro, you can just click on one of the 15-inch MBP specials and there will be a dropdown menu where you can customize the exact version you want. (As long as each option is applicable to the special advertised.) So, if you want to take advantage of the Mac to School special with a MacBook Pro, AppleCare and free $100 gift card, you can either choose what we have in stock or a CTO version within the same window. Since each page incorporates multiple models, the price will indicate a range.
You might recall that our product listing pages had a tendency to be long, even when broken up by pagination, so we gave them the grid treatment as well. The result is much more dynamic, both visually and in practicality. You’ll see larger photos with detail, which is ideal when comparing two computers that may look the same at a glance. Don’t worry — if you prefer the traditional list view, there are two buttons to the right which allow you to toggle between the two options.
