Always Use “Buttons” for Size Selection (28% of Desktop Sites Don’t)

Size selection is a critical part of the online shopping experience, yet many eCommerce sites (including core WooCommerce) still rely on drop-down menus to present size options.

Baymard Institute’s usability testing across 93 top eCommerce sites revealed that users often overlook size drop-downs entirely or are disappointed after interacting with them only to find their size is unavailable.

The research found that presenting sizes as visible buttons rather than hidden in drop-downs significantly improves the user experience.

Our own WooCommerce theme, Shoptimizer, does this via our product swatches module in CommerceKit. You can see how we display our size selectors on our theme demo.

This layout makes it easier for users to instantly see which sizes are available and helps them avoid the tedious back-and-forth interaction, especially on mobile, where screen space is limited.

Designing more intuitive, visible size selectors is a straightforward but impactful way to enhance product pages and reduce shopping cart abandonment.

Elementor 3.31 — Editor V4 Alpha Gets Smarter

Elementor 3.31 expands the new Editor V4 Alpha with smarter tools for scalable web design.

This update introduces variables for colors and fonts, letting you define brand styles once and apply them consistently across a site.

Class management is clearer with usage counts and locators, while improved style inheritance makes responsive editing more predictable.

For Pro users, semantic HTML attributes can now be added directly for accessibility and analytics.

Overall, this release pushes Elementor toward cleaner code, easier collaboration, and a more flexible design system, though it’s still in Alpha and best tested in staging.
