The worst layout for product page
|
I've just read a research from Baymard called "Product Page UX 2025: 15 Pitfalls and Best Practices". The first thing they mentioned is product page layout. According to their study you should avoid horizontal tabs on product pages. Baymard's study found 27% of users missed these tabs, like shipping info, compared to only 8% with vertically collapsed sections. Personally, I think that tabs should be used when each of them has the same content but filtered out by some property, e.g., "new orders", "orders delivered," "cancelled orders," etc. This is especially true when the data is uniform and homogeneous. However, using tabs for dividing sections of data (not even settings, but data), is an anti-pattern. Wish you a productive day and if you have a cat, let it be sane! |

After a rough patch, I’m getting back to writing. More practical stuff that you can apply directly in your projects. One topic that looks really good is how to use modern CSS to support UI/UX and accessibility. Preference Media Queries Preference Media Queries allow you to adapt your UI based on the user's system-level settings and personal preferences — like reduced motion, high contrast, or dark mode. They're mostly used to improve accessibility and user experience. Let's cover one of them....
I've been skimming through my list of topics to cover and found an interesting CSS property that’s especially useful when you need to highlight a specific phrase inside a block of text. Normally, when a text block breaks into multiple lines, the browser treats the whole element as a single box — which often results in broken or inconsistent styling. So this code: Results in the following styling: To fix that, all you need is: box-decoration-break: clone; It tells the browser to treat each...
