What I Wish Ecommerce Businesses Knew

Lead With What Matters

Show top categories first with clear visuals
• 2 min read • Ecommerce

Not everything deserves the front row.

But something has to be there.

The first screen isn’t just space.

It’s a decision.

What do you show first?

If it’s random, it feels random.
If it’s intentional, it feels easy.

Your most important categories belong at the top.

Not hidden in a menu.
Not buried below.

Visible.
Recognizable.

A strong photo helps.

Not decoration—direction.

A sofa you can imagine in your living room.
A jacket you can picture wearing.

Now the category isn’t a label.

It’s a destination.

Walk into IKEA and you’ll notice it immediately; rooms, not lists. Spaces that pull you in before you even think about clicking.

Because people don’t choose categories.

They choose what they can see.
