Default Rearranging elements on the product details page

Dear all

I'm having some issues with products descriptions, which are usually very long and pages do not look really the way we expected. I foud that there's a way of changing certain elements in the template so I can get rid off white spaces on both sides. The best bet would be to have the picture on the left top as it is now, then on the right top other elements like price, weight and discount info then just right below a full description of the product. This way we can use so far unused white space and make pages much shorter. Can someone please advise on how and what to edit to get described result? Pic attached. Thank you.

You would need to play around with tpl files...

Go to your Edit Templates...

/customer/main/product.tpl

You can copy and paste the file in Dreamweaver to see what it looks like.

You would need some technical knowledge to play with this file.

Not sure if you have made a lot of modification to the design. If you haven't you can always restore from original file in case you stuff it up.

Also have you gone through this....?

I hope this helps..

Cheers
Ash
