On a Shopify store we are looking to have a portfolio section. This will feature projects that we have worked on previously (not products). It would be similar to a blog with a standalone page for each project. The structure should be like this:
Portfolio (list all portfolio items)
- Category A (list all portfolio items assigned to category)
- Category B (list all portfolio items assigned to category)
- Category C (list all portfolio items assigned to category)
The screens would be:
- Portfolio main page
- Portfolio category page
- Portfolio item page
Fields for each portfolio item:
- Title
- Description
- Gallery of images
- Category
- Tags
Can anyone suggest an existing app that we can use or would we need to build a custom app for this?
You can probably adapt the native Shopify blog structure for this purpose.
-
Portfolio main page → blog page
-
Portfolio category page → tag page
-
Portfolio item page → the blog post itself
A few things to take note:
Shopify supports multiple blogs within 1 store.
- This means if you have non-portfolio content (eg. company updates), you can still create a different blog to host those content
Shopify doesn’t support the concept of category within a blog, only tag is supported
- Tagging system is actually sufficient for many stores.
- If you do find the need to have additional categorization, you can still create additional blog(s), and use each blog as a category. However the tagging would also be contained within a blog.
