Developing for Page Designer

Developers play an important role in implementing Page Designer. Developers work with the ecommerce marketing director to determine the pages, components, layouts, and assets required for the storefront. The developer then creates and uploads custom cartridges that contain reusable page types, component types, and artifacts for the visual editor that help merchants quickly create and implement custom pages.

  • What Is Page Designer?
    Page Designer is a B2C Commerce feature that supports standard development processes and tools for creating reusable page types and component types. Merchants can use a visual editor in Business Manager to design, schedule, and publish custom pages in the storefront by dragging the page and component types. Merchants can use the same page and component types to create a variety of pages independently, without going back to the developer for updates.

  • Optimal Page Performance
    Page Caching is skipped when a page is viewed in either editing or previewing mode of the Page Designer tool, so any change can be immediately visible to the user. However in the plain storefront, the customer page cache instrumentations apply as coded. Slow rendering typically results from either the page not yet in the page cache when viewed outside of Page Designer, or a low-performing page implementation.
