Templates available for use in My Zazzle Sets

This post is for reference for users of Zaps, specifically the Zazzle Sets pipe.

I've used a fluid / liquid design so mobile and desktop should work equally well, with image sizes scaling to suit the size of display your visitor uses.

To help show this, you'll see below how each of the four available templates behave both when the available space is 600 pixels wide and when it's 350 pixels wide.

The double-lined border shows the extent of the template output in those restricted spaces.

Because of the Blogger template I'm using (in common with many others who'll be using this tool), all images have a border placed round them. I've made sure the templates work when this happens.

See this short screen recording showing how each template behaves as the width available changes:



Template 1 shown when available space is 600 pixels wide

Titles of products aren't shown with this template. The caption is in html normal sized text.

Template 3 shown when available space is 600 pixels wide

This template shows the first of the four products much larger and shifted to the right. Its title is in normal text, the other three in html small text. The caption is set to the html H1 tag and is intended to act as a heading to any text that follows.

If the Blogger template wasn't adding a border image to each, this template and the next (4) would show the three smaller images arranged in a line rather than two in a line with the third below in the center.
