As Danish usability consultant, Jakob Nielsen says, “your homepage is often your first — and possibly your last — chance to attract and retain each customer.”
What does your website homepage say about your company? Is it the “face” you want users to first meet? Does it put new users at ease and create a lasting impression? If you answered “no” to these questions, follow our three homepage tips for a winning website.
Are you a trendy footwear retailer? Do you offer face-painting services for parties? Is your homepage tailored to your unique audience? It takes a user a rapid 0.05 seconds to form an opinion about your website.
Your homepage should clearly state what your company does, why your user should explore further, what differentiates you from the competition, and what action you’d like the user to take. Try to keep your messaging simple, but impactful and descriptive, especially when it comes to headlines and calls-to-action (CTAs).
Photography is your friend here! Photography goes a long way to communicate your business objectives and values. Include simple lifestyle and product photography to draw attention, without looking too staged (stock photos) or cluttered. If you sell services instead of products, use environmental or human-interest (lifestyle) photography.
Step it up a notch by using GIFs or quality video content. Regardless of the medium, ensure the imagery makes sense and furthers your brand’s story.
Visitors to Hello Fresh’s website, instantly learn Hello Fresh is a home cooking service that provides simple recipes and pre-measured ingredients. The call-to-action to “view our plans” is front and center.

Gates of the Arctic, Alaska. This 2-week journey started at the top of the Brooks Range, 110 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Without a guide, I explored 145 miles of untouched Alaskan wilderness, hiking and pack-rafting through the most brutal conditions I ever experienced.

Feeling the pressure to compete with leading marketplaces this holiday season, like Amazon?
While there’s huge opportunity to drive online sales during the holidays, stiff competition from other e-commerce sites and the growing array of third-party marketplaces makes it harder for your products to shine.
According to NetElixer Inc., 42 percent of shoppers say they’re most likely to buy a holiday gift on an online marketplace. Last year, some of the most popular marketplaces nearly doubled, and in some cases, tripled their web traffic during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Whether you’re selling on these marketplaces or sticking to your own site, how do you motivate a customer to choose your product over an alternative to fulfil their wish lists? The answer is simple: compelling, descriptive product data and eye-catching imagery.
Today, we’re sharing a few tips on enhancing your product data to help your products grab attention during the holiday hustle and bustle. Get our Winning on Amazon Checklist to boost your Amazon success and make your products optimized to sell, sell, sell this season.

Favorite food: Korean BBQ. I’ve never met a bulgogi I didn’t like.
Hidden talents: I’m a wiz in the kitchen and I can sing every word to almost any 80’s greatest hit (I’m really a 90’s kid, but an 80’s kid at heart). Oh, and sorting M&M’s by color (#OCDproblems).
If there were a movie of my life, I’d be played by: Zooey Deschanel. She’s my spirit animal.
One item you would bring with you to a desert island and why: Hermione’s enchanted purse. It’s the perfect survivor kit, obviously.
In a zombie apocalypse, my weapon of choice would be: The cloak of invisibility (yes, another HP reference). I’m just not cut out for blood and guts and zombie slaying. I think my greatest chance of survival would be to live my best post-apocalyptic life under the radar.

The highly-anticipated kickoff to the holidays is now a five-day shopping spree full of discounts and perks, with the competition getting stronger and stronger. Similarly, buyers are savvy and efficient, searching for the best deals at the best times.
