What I Wish Ecommerce Businesses Knew

Lead With What Matters

Show top categories first with clear visuals

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.
