A better way to browse! We have added a faceted search panel to to the left of designs, so users can easily zero in on the perfect design. Ideal for product lines with many choices of type and design–like cards! Since the beta version, we have added quantity pricing display and ensured 3rd-party content is only shown where applicable.

• New, bigger preview images with product details displayed when you hover over the product name.
• Shop by design, without regard to product orientation or product variant. Links in can be adjusted to best highlight the experience.
• Sort by alphabetical, newest, or by price.
• Fast filtering by occasion, product, orientation, and price allows users to find what they are looking for easily.
• Change how many designs are displayed per page for easier browsing.
