2. Setting Up Important Pages
Creating essential pages ensures a smooth shopping experience for your customers. Here’s what you need:
- Home Page: Your store’s main entrance. Use this to showcase featured products and promotions.
- About Page: Introduce your brand, tell your story, and build trust with your customers.
- Contact Page: Provide a way for customers to get in touch with you. Consider adding a contact form or your physical store’s address.
- Shop Page: This page displays your products. WooCommerce automatically creates this when you install the plugin.
- Cart Page: The shopping cart page where customers review their selected items before checkout. WooCommerce creates this too.
- Checkout Page: The final step before payment. Make sure it’s simple and secure.
- Privacy Policy and Terms: Important for legal compliance and building trust.
Remember to keep your product descriptions clear, images high-quality, and your pages easy to navigate. Regularly update your inventory and review your pages to ensure your online store is running smoothly.
