In the previous article, we discussed creating a satisfactory header with Flatsome. Now, let’s move on to crafting a captivating homepage. A visually appealing homepage is crucial for attracting customers, especially on sales websites. Today, I’ll walk you through how to create a homepage header that will leave a lasting impression on your visitors.
To kick things off, start by creating a new page named "home page" and leave the content section blank. Head over to settings and designate this page as the default homepage for your website. If you need a refresher on this step, take a look at our guide on Basic WordPress Configuration, it’s a lifesaver!
Next, revisit the Home page and click on the UX Builder tab at the top of the editor. This will take you to Flatsome’s intuitive drag-and-drop editor, where you can add elements on the left and see live changes on the right.
Click on the "Add elements" button on the left, then choose the layout type you prefer, such as a Grid for inserting banners in the header. You also have the option to add a Slider if that suits your design goals.
Select a layout style for the Grid, such as Grid 4, which features one large box and two smaller ones on the side. Each box can hold different content, so feel free to get creative with it.
When adding content to the Grid items, you can choose the type as Banner. Customize the appearance style of the banner, like placing buttons on the right, and hit Apply to see the changes come to life.
Now, it’s time to edit the banner by selecting an image, adjusting the background color, and tweaking the overlay color to your liking. Don’t forget to add text and buttons as needed, and remember, less can sometimes be more!
Click on the gear icon to delete or edit components, and fine-tune the text content and button details for a polished look. Once you’re satisfied with all the edits, click on Update to save your changes.
Lastly, head over to the homepage to admire your handiwork and see the header in action. Voila! Your homepage is now ready to impress visitors and boost engagement on your site.
In summary, we’ve covered the essential steps to create a dynamic header for a sales website’s homepage. Feel free to customize the header further with additional components to suit your brand’s style. Stay tuned for our next post, where I’ll guide you on adding more content to enhance your homepage’s appeal.
