The product page in WooCommerce plays a crucial role in the performance of your online store. Therefore, it is essential to have a particular layout of your WooCommerce product page to impress visitors to your site. That is why you should make the layout of your WooCommerce product page as appealing as possible because the default page layout is not fully impressive for customers to glance at.

Now, let’s go on with this instruction to know how to change the WooCommerce product page layout. Hence, you could produce a unique experience for customers to shop with your products on WooCommerce.

Why should we change the WooCommerce product page layout?

Before going into details of how to change the layout of product pages, we advise you to spend some moments looking at why you should change it. So, you could know how important it plays to your WooCommerce store.

  • Provide great customers’ shopping experience: As you are competing with other stores for the same product, you need to make your product page layout as special as possible. So, by changing this layout, you can provide your customers with an amazing shopping experience.

  • Differ your store from others: When you choose the default layout, your product page will look similar to others. Hence, changing the layout of your product page brings about a significant meaning to differ your store from others.

  • Catch the attention of new customers: The content on your page is not enough. Customers can skip reading the content if the layout of your WooCommerce product page is poor. So, keep it attractive to draw the attention of new consumers.

How to change WooCommerce product page layout?

In changing your WooCommerce product page layout, we recommend using one of the two ways below. So, read each of them carefully and see which method will fit your needs and requirements. These two ways include using CSS and using a plugin.

1. Use CSS

Using CSS has now become much simpler. By following this guide, you will find it easy as you do not need to be good at coding. What you need to do now is just paste the provided codes to your correct box. By applying CSS, you could be able to control your website design, such as fonts, colors, backgrounds, or button sizes.

Step 1: Head to WooCommerce’s “Appearance”

Now, it is time to navigate to your dashboard and select the section “Appearance”, then click on “Customize” before picking up “Additional CSS”.

Step 2: Implement some changes

When you are here, you can make some changes related to the layout of the WooCommerce product page. For different parts in your product page layout, there is a different code to be applied. So, keep reading to see what and how you could change your layout specifically.

  • Change product titles’ font size

In case you are not fond of your product titles’ font size, you will use the following code to change it. In particular, changing the product titles’ size to 36px is preferable. To complete it, you can make up your mind to change the “36” into the number you want.


.woocommerce div.product .product_title {
    font-size: 36px;
}

  • Change product titles’ color

Colors play an indispensable part in your product page layout within WooCommerce. This is to say, it is very vital to make some modifications to your page color to enable it to be more attractive. To change your product titles’ color, there exists a specific code.

This is a kind of code that includes six digits to represent a certain color online. In this case, using the hex code is the utmost way to complete your task. The below code will be used to make a change to the color of your product titles to a hex code name #FF5733.


.woocommerce div.product .product_title {
    color: #FF5733;
}

Especially, you could choose any other hex code that you like to replace this hex code. A suggestion for you is to apply the color picker to get this code for the color you like.

  • Display variation labels in the bold text

There are some situations that you do not satisfy with the variation labels in your bold text. Just change it to the one you like by using the recommended code below for showing the variations titles in the bold text.


.woocommerce div.product form.cart .variations label {
   font-weight: bold;
}

  • Italicize your variation labels

In case you want to emphasize any variation label or want it to differ from the others, just italicize it. To implement this, this code is useful for you:


.woocommerce div.product form.cart .variations label {
   font-style: italic;
}

  • Change the colors of the button “Buy Now”

The button “Buy Now” is a significant part of your WooCommerce product page layout, especially it’s color. Therefore, it can affect the decision of shoppers if they are about to buy your product or not. Hence, pay attention to this button’s background color. The following code is the one you should use to change it as per your expectation. Moreover, the color picker is also suggested to get your hex code to choose the color that you are fond of.


.woocommerce div.product .button {
   background: #000000;
}
