# Build Guide: Body Sculpting Machines Collection Page ## 1. Build objective Build this as a high-value ecommerce collection page for new professional and prosumer body sculpting equipment. It must help visitors: 1. View and filter the available machines immediately. 2. Choose the appropriate technology and equipment tier. 3. Confirm realistic results, safety requirements and operating suitability. 4. Understand pricing, financing, training, shipping and warranty. 5. Add an eligible machine to cart or request a quote and demo. Treat the supplied written page as the authority for exact wording, product recommendations, prices, policy terms and claims. This guide controls page structure, components, data connections and behavior. Do not turn the page into a blog article, single-product landing page, treatment finder or marketplace-style gadget listing. --- ## 2. Existing-site integration - Use the site’s existing header, footer, typography, buttons, colors, spacing system, cart, review provider and form components. - Preserve an existing URL if this collection already exists. Otherwise follow the site’s collection URL convention, preferably: - `/collections/body-sculpting-machines/` - Do not create a duplicate category URL. - Use US English and US dollar formatting. - Use live catalog data for prices, sale prices, availability and variants. Do not hard-code values that can change. - Use existing policy pages for shipping, financing, warranty and returns. - Keep all internal links in the same tab. - Do not add pop-ups, autoplay video or an opening promotional CTA. ### Data source priority When populating product or policy facts, use this order: 1. Existing product/catalog fields and approved product metafields. 2. Exact facts in the supplied written page. 3. Existing shipping, financing, warranty and support pages. 4. Conservative fallback text. Never infer specifications, FDA status, warranty terms, stock, licensing requirements or machine capabilities from the product name. Safe fallbacks: - Missing price: **Request a quote** - Missing stock status: **Confirm availability** - Missing warranty detail: **See warranty details** - Missing certification status: omit the status rather than implying clearance or approval - Required product options: use **Choose options**, not quick add --- ## 3. Page hierarchy Use one H1 and the following visual order. Use the writer’s supplied headings rather than replacing them with headings from this guide. 1. Breadcrumb, H1 and short opening 2. Product collection and filters 3. Technology/type comparison 4. Results, limitations and safety 5. Home-use versus professional-use guidance 6. Price, payback, specifications and recommended picks 7. Inclusions, training, operation, shipping, warranty and demo 8. Owner reviews 9. Closing action band Do not place unrelated promotions, blog feeds or email capture blocks between these sections. --- ## 4. Opening block ### Layout - Breadcrumb: - Home - The site’s relevant equipment parent category - Body Sculpting Machines - One H1 only. - Place the opening paragraph beside one hero image on desktop. - Stack text above image on mobile. - Use a professional system in a clean studio, clinic or treatment-room setting. - The image should support equipment ownership rather than depict surgery or dramatic body transformation. - Do not place a button in this block. - The collection grid must follow immediately. ### Suggested proportions - Content container: use the site standard, ideally 1180–1280 px maximum. - Desktop: approximately 55% text and 45% image. - Mobile: single column. - Keep the opening compact; it should not push the product grid far below the fold. --- ## 5. Product collection This is the primary commercial component and must be server-rendered so products and essential card text are available without JavaScript. ### Introductory collection text Immediately above the filters and grid, place the supplied lines explaining: - The catalog contains new professional and home-suitable systems. - The overall equipment and price tiers. - What determines the price tier. - US warehouse fulfillment, only if verified. - Accepted payment methods and financing availability. - What “professional-grade” means. Keep these as visible text, not tooltips or accordion content. ### Filters Provide a filter bar with: #### Technology - EMS / HI-EMT - Cavitation - RF - Vacuum and roller - Lipo laser - Cryolipolysis A product may belong to multiple technologies. #### Setting - Professional use - Suitable for home use #### Price Include the written page’s configured tiers and a distinct: - Under $1,500 “Under $1,500” means the current purchasable price is below $1,500. For variable-price products, use the lowest genuinely purchasable configuration and display “From” on the card. #### Availability - In stock ### Filter behavior - Allow multiple selections within a group. - Treat selections within a group as OR and selections across groups as AND. - Update the result count as filters change. - Include a clear-all control. - On desktop, show filters in a horizontal bar or compact top panel. - On mobile, use an accessible filter drawer opened by a clearly labeled button. - Trap focus inside the open drawer and return focus to the trigger when it closes. - Announce updated result counts with `aria-live="polite"`. - Use query parameters so a filtered state can be shared, but canonicalize filtered states to the main collection URL unless the site has a deliberate faceted SEO strategy. - Show a useful zero-results state with a clear-filters action. Do not recommend unrelated products. ### Grid - Desktop: three cards per row. - Tablet: two cards per row. - Mobile: one card per row. - Keep card heights visually aligned without truncating important product facts. - Product name and image link to the product page. - Use square or 4:5 product images consistently. - Do not use generic stock photography in product cards. ### Product card contents Every card must contain, in this order: 1. Product image 2. Product name 3. Visible one-sentence technology descriptor 4. Setting tag written in words: - Professional use - Suitable for home use 5. Current price 6. Previous price if genuinely on sale 7. Stock or lead-time state 8. Number of included handles, cups or applicators 9. Warranty term and the words **Serviced in the US**, only when verified 10. Exact FDA status if documented 11. Purchase action The descriptor is body copy, not a badge. It should explain what the product does in approximately 20–30 words. Technology descriptors should reflect the product’s actual documented configuration: - **EMS / HI-EMT:** identify electromagnetic muscle stimulation, optional RF, number of applicators, and whether it supports muscle building and fat reduction. - **RF:** identify radiofrequency heating and whether it is used for skin tightening, fat metabolism or paired treatment. - **Cavitation:** include the documented frequency rating and name paired RF, vacuum or lipo-laser handles. - **Cryolipolysis:** identify controlled cooling, number of cups and supported treatment areas. - **Vacuum/roller or lipo laser:** state the specific tissue target and included attachments. Do not claim that cavitation or EMS tightens skin unless the machine includes RF and the copy makes that distinction. ### Purchase actions Use the product merchandising configuration rather than price alone: - Online-purchasable system: **Add to cart** - Product with required choices: **Choose options** - Large or configured platform: **Request a quote and demo** Quote/demo forms should prepopulate the selected product name where the site’s form system allows it. ### Card data model Create or connect the following fields as product metafields if they do not already exist: ```text technology[]: ems-hi-emt cavitation rf vacuum-roller lipo-laser cryolipolysis setting[]: professional home-suitable technology_descriptor included_handle_count included_handle_summary applicator_count warranty_term us_service_available purchase_mode: cart options quote-demo warehouse_region lead_time fda_status fda_document_url commercial_duty_cycle continuous_working_time ``` Use exact approved language for `fda_status`, such as “FDA cleared for [documented use]” or “FDA registered.” Never convert “registered” into “cleared” or “approved.” ### Text after the grid Directly below the products, place the supplied visible explanation of the under-$1,500 tier: - What those machines generally include - What they can treat - That EMS muscle-building systems begin above that tier, if supported by the catalog - How to use the price filter to isolate the tier Do not hide this in filter help text. --- ## 6. Technology comparison section Place this immediately after the collection. Start with the supplied short introduction, then build a true comparison table. ### Table columns 1. Technology 2. Acts on 3. How it works 4. Common body areas 5. Session length and typical course 6. When results generally appear 7. Best suited to ### Required rows - EMS / HI-EMT - Ultrasonic cavitation - Radiofrequency - Vacuum and roller - Lipo laser - Cryolipolysis Use the supplied copy in the cells. Keep result conditions and timelines intact. ### Table behavior - Use semantic ``, ``, ``, `
` and `
` markup. - Keep it as a table on mobile rather than converting it into inaccessible visual cards. - Place it in a horizontally scrollable container on narrow screens. - Make the first column sticky only if this does not conflict with the existing theme. - Include a visible mobile hint such as “Swipe to compare” if horizontal scrolling is not otherwise obvious. ### Supporting paragraphs After the table, place the supplied passages in this order: 1. A deeper explanation of EMS, including the limits of the sit-up comparison 2. Lipo laser compared with cavitation, EMS and cryolipolysis 3. The distinction between marketplace handheld massagers and the equipment sold here Keep these as visible paragraphs. Do not create separate product carousels or expanders. --- ## 7. Results and safety section Build this as four short, visible paragraphs. Each begins with the writer’s bold lead question. Do not use an FAQ accordion. The four topics are: 1. Whether body sculpting machines work 2. Whether they replace workouts or diet 3. Safety, screening and contraindications 4. FDA terminology and documentation Preserve all qualifications. Do not add unsupported percentages, guaranteed outcomes, dramatic before-and-after imagery or language suggesting weight-loss treatment. If a supplied owner quote is included, display it as a restrained pull quote and identify the machine and buyer setting. Do not use an anonymous or fabricated testimonial. --- ## 8. Home versus professional section Use three visible text blocks with bold lead questions: 1. Buying an “Emsculpt” or HI-EMT-class machine 2. Performing body sculpting at home 3. Choosing equipment for a medspa, salon, clinic or gym Each block should end with the named recommendation from the written page, linked to the relevant product card or product page. - If linking to a card on the same page, use a stable product anchor. - Do not imply that Emsculpt is sold on this page unless it actually is. - Preserve the state-by-state licensing caveat. - Do not add a blanket statement that no license is required. A three-column layout may be used on large screens if the paragraphs remain readable. Stack them on mobile. --- ## 9. Price, payback and comparison section ### Payback and financing Display the supplied payback explanation as ordinary body copy. Do not add a revenue calculator unless the existing site already has an approved calculator component. Place the financing line directly beneath it with a text link or button to the existing financing application. - Use the real eligibility threshold. - Use real available term lengths. - Do not promise approval. - If a quote can include an estimated monthly payment, preserve that statement without presenting it as guaranteed financing. ### Specification comparison list Build the “what to compare” content as a visible two-column list on desktop and one column on mobile. Include one line for each: - EMS magnetic field strength and frequency - Cavitation frequency - RF frequency - Number and shape of handles - Cooling and continuous working time - Screen and program controls - Weight and footprint - Power requirements - Automatic versus manual programs - Treatment timers - Tool-free handle changes Link to the relevant product specification pages where the written copy provides links. ### Recommended picks Create three concise recommendation items: - Best first machine for a new studio - Best for a clinic or gym seeking an EMS/HI-EMT result - Best for home use Each item should include: - Linked machine name - One-sentence reason - Optional small product image Do not generate recommendations from price automatically; use the named picks in the supplied copy. --- ## 10. Inclusions, training and support Build this section as a two-column block on desktop and a single column on mobile. ### Left column - Included-items checklist - Handle and applicator explanation - Gel, protective membrane or other required supplies Use simple check icons with accompanying text. The written words must remain visible. ### Right column - Training - Manual and protocol materials - Session workflow - Shipping - Warranty and service Keep the session workflow as a paragraph or short numbered sequence. Preserve the guidance to start at low intensity and increase according to protocol and tolerance. ### Product-specific differences Where inclusions differ by machine, state that the product card or product page is the source of truth. Do not make a collection-wide promise that every model includes the same number of handles or supplies. ### Demo Below the two-column block: - Embed the approved demo video. - Use a poster image rather than loading the full player immediately. - Do not autoplay. - Include a text caption explaining what the video demonstrates. - Add a **Book a live demo** button using the existing scheduling or lead form. - Prefill product interest when the visitor arrived through a product-specific demo action. If no approved video exists, do not insert a stock or third-party video. Keep the live-demo action and supplied explanatory text. ### Support close Display the supplier-check paragraph with: - Support phone or email - Published support hours - Links to warranty, shipping and certification information where available Use only current site contact data. --- ## 11. Owner reviews Connect this section to the site’s existing verified review platform or approved CMS review records. ### Header Show: - Aggregate rating - Total review count - Rating distribution bars - The supplied framing sentence Only include aggregate figures that can be substantiated. ### Review cards Each card should contain: - Reviewer name or approved display name - Verified-purchase marker - Date - Buyer setting: studio, clinic, gym or home - Machine purchased - Rating - Review text Mix settings and machines where genuine review inventory allows it. Do not edit reviews to remove criticism, synthesize reviews or fabricate “verified” status. If no verified collection reviews exist, omit the aggregate rating and cards rather than inventing proof. --- ## 12. Closing action band Use a full-width band within the main content container. Include: - The writer’s closing heading - One short line matching a machine to setting, budget and planned services - Two buttons: - **Shop the range** — scrolls back to the collection - **Book a demo and quote** — opens or links to the existing inquiry flow Use distinct primary and secondary button treatments. Do not add urgency, countdowns or false scarcity. --- ## 13. Images and media - Hero image: professional machine in an authentic treatment environment. - Product cards: approved product images only. - Recommendation items: reuse optimized catalog thumbnails. - Do not use graphic surgical imagery. - Do not use unverified before-and-after photos. - If approved before-and-after images are supplied, place them only beside the related results context and include technology, course and timing in the caption. - Use AVIF or WebP where supported. - Set explicit image dimensions to prevent layout shift. - Preload only the hero/LCP image. - Lazy-load images and video below the fold. - Alt text should identify the product and view, such as “Model name body sculpting system with four applicators.” Avoid keyword stuffing. --- ## 14. SEO and structured data ### Metadata Use supplied metadata if present. Otherwise: - Title: `Body Sculpting Machines | [Brand]` - Canonical: the main collection URL - Meta description: derive a concise description from the approved opening and offer language; do not add claims not present on the page. ### Structured data Add valid JSON-LD for: - `CollectionPage` - `BreadcrumbList` - `ItemList` containing the displayed products - `Product` and `Offer` data where the catalog provides valid price and availability - `AggregateRating` and `Review` only when backed by genuine review data - `VideoObject` only when an approved embedded demo exists Do not add FAQ schema merely because some paragraphs begin with questions. Do not mark the page as a medical service. Keep offer price, sale price and availability synchronized with the live catalog. --- ## 15. Accessibility and usability - Maintain logical heading order: H1, then H2 sections, then H3 only where needed. - Do not use headings solely for visual styling. - Ensure all buttons and filters have visible labels. - Make product cards and filters fully keyboard accessible. - Use visible focus states from the site theme. - Do not communicate stock, setting or review rating through color alone. - Provide text equivalents for rating bars and icons. - Maintain WCAG-compliant color contrast. - Respect reduced-motion settings. - Keep body text at least the site’s standard readable size. - Avoid horizontal page overflow; only the comparison table may scroll within its container. --- ## 16. Analytics Use the site’s existing analytics/data-layer conventions. Track: - Filter applied - Filters cleared - Product card selected - Add to cart - Choose options - Quote/demo request started - Quote/demo request submitted - Financing link selected - Demo video started - Closing “Shop the range” selected Include product ID, product name and selected filter state where allowed. Do not send personal information in analytics events. --- ## 17. Final QA checklist Before publishing, verify: - There is one H1. - The collection appears directly after the opening. - Every eligible body sculpting product appears and unrelated gadgets do not. - Prices, sale prices and stock states match the live catalog. - Every card has a meaningful technology descriptor. - Home-use and professional-use tags are supported by product documentation. - The under-$1,500 filter works correctly. - Quote-only machines cannot be accidentally added to cart. - Every warranty and US-service statement is accurate. - “FDA approved” has not been substituted for registered or cleared. - Result claims retain their conditions and do not promise weight loss. - Safety and licensing caveats remain visible. - Core explanatory content is not hidden in accordions. - Product, financing, demo and support links work. - Reviews and aggregate ratings are genuine. - Filtered URLs do not create uncontrolled indexable duplicates. - Product and offer schema validates and matches visible data. - The table, filters, cards, forms and buttons work by keyboard and on mobile. - No placeholder text, fake specifications, dummy reviews or stock images remain.
