8 Examples of Shopify Homepages Worth Learning From

You only get one chance to make a first impression. That means when you’re creating your Shopify store, few things are more important than making your homepage stand out. 

While your product pages might convince customers to buy your products, and your checkout page can boost customer loyalty, your homepage is what tells your customers to give your store a chance. The quicker you capture customer attention with an amazing design, social proof, and some great offers, the more likely you are to make a sale. 

In fact, experts say the most profitable ecommerce stores capture a user’s attention in less than 10 seconds. So, how do you create a high-converting homepage?

The following examples are sure to give you the inspiration you need. 

What makes an Amazing Shopify Homepage?

Before we dive into our selection of Shopify homepage examples, it’s worth taking a moment to ask what really makes an ecommerce homepage successful. There’s no one-size-fits-all way to create a fantastic homepage, just as there’s no concrete strategy for ensuring ecommerce success.

But there are a few things you should keep in mind when working on your design:

• Excellent user experience: It’s easy to get caught up in color palettes and font choices, but it’s the user experience that determines whether customers are really going to fall in love with your sight. Make sure your homepage provides all the information your customers need straight away, and makes it easy to navigate your store. 
• Brilliant branding: A great Shopify homepage should be an instant introduction to your brand, its personality, and values. Make sure you showcase your logos, and focus on choosing a color palette that connects with your audience on an emotional level. Pick fonts that represent your brand, and are easy to read on all devices.
• Use eye-catching imagery: Visuals are crucial to an excellent store design. Whether you’re showcasing pictures of your products, or you’re using videos, make sure your content is high in quality and unique to your business. Don’t just use stock photography. 
• Make it responsive: Remember, a huge number of customers are shopping online via their mobile devices today. This means if you want as many customers to be able to access your website as possible, you need to make sure your design is responsive. Fortunately, most Shopify themes are responsive as standard.
• Inspire action: Use the above the fold content on your website to inspire action. Embrace banners to showcase your latest offers, and call-to-action buttons. Ensure any headers or text you’re using captures your customer’s attention straight away. Your homepage should push your customers towards your products.
