  • NEW content elements – the blue navigation tile, the product hero and the ACO page teaser will be available on all websites. These content elements are intended to give the editorial product pages a new shine.

    Attention, your help is required! The new blue navigation tile will replace the navigation tile with accordion. We will delete the old content element soon. Please use the next four weeks to change the old navigation tile on your pages so that they are not suddenly deleted.

Redesign product area of PIM website

As shown in the Juncture-July announcement, these changes will be implemented on the PIM product pages. This includes changes to the layout of the subcategories from a listed to a tile view. In addition to the design adjustments, we also made a change to display the sublinks. If there are more than four sublinks for each tile, a tile has a fold-out function to display all items. This change enables us to display the sizes of the tiles more uniformly.

Here you can reach a Live-Example from aco-haustechnik.de
