In April, we announced Pattern by Etsy, a new way for Etsy sellers to set up a personal website built from the existing content and listings in their Etsy shop. Today, we’ve released new features and enhancements for all sellers using Pattern.
These new features include:
- A new theme option: The Gingham theme is similar to one of our most popular themes, Mosaic, but includes a greater ability to feature your unique branding. Accent colors are displayed more prominently across your Pattern site, with the option to display your shop icon front and center on your homepage. We’ve also added a subtle zoom effect when a buyer hovers over a product image on your homepage or a category page.
- Search: Help your buyers find exactly what they’re looking for by enabling search for your Pattern site. Search can be turned on within the Style settings in your Pattern dashboard. When enabled, a search icon will display within the heading across all pages of your Pattern site.
- Gallery image display: Buyers can now click on listing images on a product page to open an enlarged gallery image overlay, which allows them to browse photos easily in a slideshow gallery format.
- Desktop / mobile preview toggle: Easily toggle your site preview window between how your Pattern site appears to buyers on desktop / laptop computers and how it appears to buyers using a mobile web browser. Ecommerce continues to grow on mobile platforms, and this toggle gives you the ability to preview a mobile shopper’s experience on your Pattern site.
