A solid content strategy can put you on the path to design a website that will perform in search engines as well as convert your visitors to customers as you can see in the slides. The way we design stores is crucial to our content strategy, meaning that the content must be eye catching enough to break through the usual visual cues that your customer base might get. Now certain elements of your store design have become best practices over time and will apply to nearly all store designs that we create. Think of the online store as your actual storefront window. The customers should know exactly what you're selling within the first three seconds of landing on your website. This is why online stores will often have a main hero image in the homepage with a clear call to action and at least one image of their main offer related to the main product in that category. With the setup three seconds is all it takes for the customer to feel comfortable with following his purchase flow throughout your store. Think of your stores purchase flow designed like a story you're telling to your customers start with the introduction, what is the product that we are selling on the homepage and what we want them to click on in order to find out this product story. When your customers click on the call to action, they are catapulted to the product page which acts as the action of the story. The product pages, your little hero whose only goal is to drive the customer to the conclusion or the conversion point. It does this by describing the product in detail and convincing the customer to add it to their cart and proceed to checkout. Finally, the checkout page tells the conclusion of the story through the action that your customer takes through their purchase. Now it is inevitable that people that go through this purchase flow will drop off for various reasons. The key here is to align all the elements of the purchase flow to create a compelling experience that will result in higher conversions. The concept of conversion itself is based on the premise that if enough people see your offer, some of them will purchase. This is a mathematical and statistical formula that will work as long as the journey that people are taking from the homepage to the checkout is seamless. Try to think like your customer and find out what is going through their minds when they are at various points of your purchase flow tell a story that only you can tell next. We will be covering the themes, apps and store customization options that you will use to get the right theme on your storefront, click continue to proceed with the cars
