To ensure the successful growth of your online store, it's essential to focus on two key pillars: the quality of your homepage and the consistency of your brand identity.
On one hand, a well-designed, dynamic, and structured homepage improves navigation and the overall user experience. On the other, a strong and professional visual identity helps you stand out in a competitive environment.
Homepage
Homepage structure
The homepage is essential for capturing visitors’ attention and boosting your visibility on Google. It should convey a professional and reassuring image, with a clear and well-structured offer.
To maximize its impact, include key elements: a visible logo, a concise description, featured products, and trust-building elements. An intuitive and familiar layout helps build trust and encourages visitors to become customers.
Menu layout
Intuitive navigation is crucial to guide visitors effectively from the moment they land on your site.
The menu, often the first point of interaction, must be clear, well-structured, and designed to provide quick access to key products and pages. It reflects how your catalog is organized, influences the user experience, and contributes to your brand image.
Use understandable categories, a logical hierarchy, and limit the number of visible items. An enhanced menu can take things further by including links to informative pages like the FAQ, loyalty program, or "About Us" page.
Visual identity
Brand image
Your brand image is a crucial pillar for standing out from the competition. It starts with a clear positioning that aligns with your product quality, pricing, and market expectations.
Comparing your offer with other stores can help adjust your strategy. It’s also important to highlight your brand’s values and personality, notably through an “About Us” page or visible reassurance elements.
Your tone of voice should remain consistent, reflecting your brand’s identity (friendly, serious, etc.) while maintaining proper spelling and grammar.
Lastly, a strong and cohesive visual identity (logo, colors, fonts) will help visitors recognize and remember your store more easily.
Brand style
The style guide plays a major role in shaping your store’s visual identity.
Choose a consistent set of colors and fonts, limiting your palette to two or three main colors that represent your brand universe.
Use fonts that are easy to read and suitable for the web.
Ensure your logo fits your template’s format to achieve a clean and professional look.
Visuals across the site should be harmonious: use high-quality images on white or neutral backgrounds, and maintain a consistent aesthetic. Tools like Canva can help you customize your visuals and include effective calls to action. Pizi also allows you to create visuals for your product pages.
Finally, follow the recommended layout: use a medium width for your WiziBlocks to ensure optimal readability across all devices.
