Ecommerce MasteryPlanning Your Site

• What pages will be included on your site? • How they will be organized?• What will each page sell or what information it will provide

and the process visitors will take when shopping and checking out.

To Do this you need to create a framework (structure) for your site.

That way we know what to add to each page, so that the customers get the most benefit from their visit (and we get paid)

Get Your Framework Complete FirstOnce we have created the framework it will be much easier for us to create copy and understand the customers path as they enter our site!

Obviously you’ll have a home page.

After that, you’ll need to determine how many categories you will include. Multi product sites or single product sites?

This depends on your niche and your market!

Keep it as concise as possible.

You can always add more pages later. List the products you will include under each category.

Category Pages

Write Your Copy To Suit The SiteIntroduction copy on category pages - While the products in a category may change, you’ll want some static (non-changing) copy at the top of your category pages! This helps with SEO, plus it helps cement to your prospect why they should buy from you!

Example – We hand pick & test all our stretch mark products before offering them for sale, this way we can be sure that we can help you get rid of those unsightly stretch marks.

Be aware of word counts and tables!

A common issue is the amount of copy that can be inserted into various regions of any given page. Check for limitations on category, subcategory and product pages.

Ensure that you add the same size images and roughly the same amount of copy to each product.

Failure to do so will result in miss-aligned tables and a site that looks unprofessional!

See images sizes are all the same.
