Wrangling a plethora of images, pricing, and specifications is a bit like herding cats and requires expert organization and software skills. Appealing page layout should be enticing while structure of information flow should offer ease of locating desired products. Smart asset management and file handling expedites production processes and reduces costs. These skills are why I am sometimes referred to as a catalog cowboy around certain campfires.
