From your idea to a detailed page design

Twicart Page Builder gives you extensive freedom to bring your design idea to life section by section. Create layouts ranging from a simple introduction page to an image-led homepage, product presentations and multi-column content in the same editor.

Build the layout with sections and columns, add content through components, then complete the details with colours, images, animations and interactions. Ready-made designs, manual editing, AI design and Code mode on Pro plans provide different ways to work. Shape both the appearance and how visitors use the page.

A showcase for each product, an experience for each category

Every product has a different story to tell. You might present a designer chair with large images, explain a technical product through detailed specifications or introduce a collection with a striking opening section. Twicart Page Builder lets you design product and category pages around these different needs.

PlanProduct and category page design
BasicProduct pages use the theme’s design. Custom product page design is not included in Basic.
StandartProduct and category page design is available. Create their appearance with Page Builder.
ProCreate multiple product page designs and multiple category page designs. Assign the designs to products or categories to use different presentations.

Pro: multiple designs with product and category assignments

With Pro, prepare different product page designs for different products and different category page designs for different categories. Create the design, then assign it to the relevant product or category. Give each part of your catalogue a presentation suited to its content and intended shopping experience.

Example: different presentations in one store

Create an image-led product page with a brand story for furniture, and another product page highlighting descriptions and specifications for a technical item. For categories, design a visual introduction to a new collection and a more informative presentation for technical products. With Pro, assign these designs to the relevant products and categories.

SEO-focused design: highlight the right content on each page

Design freedom gives you room to present content more deliberately for your SEO work. Use product-specific descriptions, clear headings, specifications and links to relevant pages to make useful product information visible. On category pages, incorporate introductions and content describing the product group into the design.

In Twicart’s SEO-focused approach, page design and SEO fields complement one another. Page Builder controls how content is presented, while product and category management provide descriptions and metadata for those pages. Products also have separate index and follow controls. With Pro’s multiple designs, tailor this content approach to individual products and categories.

Page structure

A page has three building blocks: sections, columns and components. A section defines a page area, columns organise its layout, and components hold the content visitors see.

Section · Page area
ColumnHeadingText AreaButton
ColumnImage
Nested columnIcon

Add columns inside a section. Columns can contain both components and further columns, letting you create distinct content groups within the same section.

Explore code-based design in the Twicart Code Editor guide.

06 / Guide

Drag-and-drop and editing

Move sections, columns and components with drag-and-drop. The pen icon at the top of each element opens its editing controls; the delete icon removes the element from the design.

The top bar includes Desktop and the combined Mobile & Tablet view so you can inspect your design across screen layouts. It also lets you choose Manual, Design with AI or Code mode and use Publish when your design is ready.

Mobile and tablet experience at the heart of design

Twicart pays particular attention to the shopping experience of visitors on mobile and tablet. The widespread daily use of these devices is an important consideration in Page Builder’s design approach. We focus on helping you create readable content, easy-to-follow layouts and user-friendly pages on mobile and tablet. Review your design in the combined Mobile & Tablet view and shape it around how visitors discover products, read information and use links and actions on the page.

07 / Guide

Backgrounds and animations for sections and columns

Backgrounds are not limited to the whole page. Add background colours, background images or animations to individual sections and columns to give each area its own appearance. Open the relevant settings using the pencil icon on the element you want to edit.

ControlUse in your design
Background colourHighlight a section in your brand colour or visually distinguish a column from surrounding content.
Background imagePlace an image behind a section or column to set the scene for a campaign, brand story or product presentation.
AnimationAdd motion to sections and columns to bring your design to life alongside text and images.
Example: two presentations in one section

Add two columns to a section. Use a solid background with a heading and description in the first, and a background image to highlight the product in the second. Add animation to the relevant section or column to incorporate motion.

08 / Guide

Sticky columns that stay visible while scrolling

You can set columns to sticky. As a visitor scrolls, the selected column can remain visible according to the scrolling behaviour of its layout. This helps keep important information in view alongside longer content.

  • Place a short product summary alongside a long description.
  • Create a layout that keeps contact or navigation content in view beside a content column.
  • Review the sticky column in Desktop and the combined Mobile & Tablet view.

Ready-made designs with Magic Design and Hero Banner

Page Builder offers more than individual basic elements. Components such as Magic Design and Hero Banner include many ready-made design options. Start with a suitable presentation, then adapt the content and design settings to your brand.

Hero BannerBuild an eye-catching opening area using ready-made designs. Present your brand message, campaign or product introduction there.

Ready-made component designs complement section and full-page imports. Choose a component design for one area, or use a ready-made section or page as a larger starting layout.

Ready-made designs and archives

Import a ready-made section or page.

Add ready-made Twicart sections to your page or import an entire ready-made page. The imported design becomes a starting point for your own page.

Archive your own design.

Archive your completed page using the archive area at the bottom of the editor and reuse it later. You do not need to recreate the same layout each time.

13 / Guide

Browser-friendly HTML on your website

Designs created in Page Builder are rendered as HTML that browsers can display on your website. Headings, text, images and interactions form the actual page content. The sections, columns and components you arrange in the editor become the web page your visitors see.

This approach combines visual design freedom with the content structure of a web page. Shape your headings, descriptions and links as you design. Complete the product information and SEO fields used on product and category pages in their corresponding management screens.
