      Grow Your Online Business

      Follow these steps to improve your customer experience and convert more website visits into orders.

      Site Display

      Maximize the most important page on your website to convert visits into orders.

      1. Merchandise your site and update your home page content regularly.
      2. Highlight sales, promotions, discounts, seasonal products, new releases, and link to your catalog.
      3. Clearly advertise your shipping policy on your homepage and footer.
      4. Limit your site's navigation with a focus on Shop and Services. We recommend something like this:   Shop | Services | Community | About | Closeouts
      5. Use a designated landing page to communicate curbside pickup, home delivery, limited stock status or other COVID-19 related messaging. Link to that with a simple and very narrow banner or similar messaging on the home page. Don't give up valuable home page real-estate that should be used for products for this messaging.
