A Product Description Page (PDP) is one of the most important conversion drivers in your funnel — it’s where shoppers evaluate your offer, compare benefits, explore variants, and ultimately decide to purchase.
With FERMÀT, you gain complete control over every element of your PDP, allowing you to perfectly match the messaging, visuals, and promises made in your ads and landing pages.
This alignment dramatically improves trust, reduces bounce, and increases conversion rates.

Horizontal Named Sections — scrollable tabs or sections usually placed mid-page.
Accordion Named Sections — collapsible sections ideal for long or detailed content.

Use Horizontal Sections for brand story, benefits, clinical results, or additional lifestyle content.
