Publish your colours, edges and sinks

Before you start

Gather a photo for each thing you want to publish. A clear, straight-on shot on a plain background works best for edges, because customers point at those. Colours want the stone itself filling the frame.

Decide up front whether you are showing prices. You can show nothing, show a tier like “Level B” without ever revealing the number behind it, or show the real figure. It is a separate choice per section, and nothing is published until you make it.

Part 1 · Add what you offer

1. 1

   Step 1. Open Settings and find the Options section. Use the menu down the left to jump straight to it.

   • Result: Three cards: your colours, your edges, and your sinks.
2. 2

   Step 2. Select “Add” on the card you want to fill, then give it a name, a photo, and a price if you are showing prices.

   • The name is your words. If your programme is called “Quick Colors” on the sales floor, call it that here.
   • Result: It appears in the list straight away, marked hidden until you publish it.
3. 3

   Step 3. On an edge, pick the profile shape.

   • The list shows each shape drawn, so you are choosing a picture rather than a word. It is the drawing customers see on your website, at a size they can actually judge, which a supplier line drawing never gave them. Leave it unset and your own photo is used instead.
4. 4

   Step 4. On a sink, fill in the details a customer asks about.

   • Type, bowls, material and depth become the spec list under the photo. If the model comes in several bowl widths, enter them separated by commas, like 30, 33, 36, along with the front to back measurement.
   • If a wider bowl costs more, put the step in the price field beside it and the price on your website follows whichever size the customer taps. Same for a handmade version.
   • Result: The sink shows its sizes as buttons, and the price moves as a customer chooses.
5. 5

   Step 5. Use the arrows to put them in the order you want a customer to see.

   • Most shops lead with what they sell most of, not what costs most.

Part 2 · Add photos of finished work

A colour board tells a customer what they can pick. A photo of the kitchen you did last month tells them what picking it looks like, which is the one thing a colour board cannot do.

6. 6

   Step 6. Under Options, find “Photos of finished work” and select “Add photos.” You can pick several at once.

   • Result: They upload one after another, and the count tells you where it is up to.
7. 7

   Step 7. Select “Edit” on a photo and tick which colours, edges or sinks it shows.

   • One photo can be linked to several things, because a kitchen shows a colour and an edge and a sink at the same time. Link it once and it appears under all of them.
   • Result: The photo now shows under each of those on your website.
8. 8

   Step 8. Write a caption.

   • Worth doing properly. It is the line under the photo, it is what a screen reader says aloud, and it is how a search engine understands the picture.
   • Something like “Calacatta Gold, ogee edge, Bethesda” beats “kitchen 3.”

Part 3 · Turn it on

9. 9

   Step 9. Still in Settings, switch on the Options tab and each section you want visible.

   • Result: Two links appear in your website's menu: your colours, and your edges and sinks.
10. 10

    Step 10. Open your storefront and check both pages the way a customer would.

    • Prices show only where you chose to show them. Anything still marked hidden stays hidden.
