8 Retailers With Really Smart Homepages

Retail websites have one big glaring goal: get people to buy things.
How are they supposed to do that?
There are four essential elements of a homepage that every retail website has to do well, explains customer experience optimization firm Maxymiser:
- The lead, attention-grabbing image has to be engaging and compelling
- Make sure customers know about the big sales immediately
- Navigation that is simple, easy, and effective
- Customers who already know what they want need to be able to search and find it quickly
Maxymiser compiled a list of eight websites that are doing things right on their homepage right now, and they described why the designs work.
Lowe's (lowes.com): The site uses hero imagery ? something that pops and is out of the ordinary ? and product imagery in new and different ways to engage customers.
Lacoste (shop.lacoste.com): Strong, compelling calls-to-action encourage specific consumer behaviors.
Kohl's (kohls.com): Product-focused, but scroll-down approach encourages customers to experience a range of products right from the start.
