How to set up the home page of your app
Hello and welcome to your GoodBarber back office
Today we will learn how to set up the Home of your shop
The Home is the first page your users will see when opening your app
On this page, you can find a secondary navigation to complement your main navigation
Let’s start by going to the menu Content & Design, and then Home
Your Home consists of different modules called widgets
There are different types of widgets
Product list
List of collection
Search
Promo banner
Newsletter
Link
Legal notices
Social media
Separators
HTML
Please beware, most of the widgets are shortcuts to existing sections. They will only appear if you’ve already added the section to your shop. For exemple if you don’t have a Search section in your shop, the search widget will ot be available.
You can find the videos on each section in the info bar
To start let’s add the product list widget
I select the section or sections related
Widget added
I’m now going to edit it
I select a template
Title display and all the design elements
The products displayed here will be sorted by tags (the Link to tags’ video is in the info bar)
In this case, i will only display light color products
All done
I select the number of products to display
The margins
The thumbnail format
And voila
I will now create the Search widget
Same principle. Adding then editing the widget
Ok, see the widget is there but I prefer to have it at the top of the page
Simply drag it to the desired position, like this
Now a Promo banner widget
More product list widgets
A newsletter widget to create my email base
A social media widget to display all my links
And finally the legal notices
Voila, all done
The home gives you loads of possibilities, especially with the links widgets, to display links to your different sections but also actions (calls, emails, text) and even external links. And the HTML widget that you can totally customize.
Let me show you the final version of my Home
It’s time for your to your Home!
See you very soon for another tutorial!
