Hello! Every other week, I will be featuring rad sites built using Square Online by sellers like you. It’s a great way to pick up tips that you can incorporate into your own site!
This week we’re going to take a look at the website By Akki, created by Seller Community member @byakki.
I recently posted about developing your own style guide for your website. While I don’t know if @byakki uses one in specific, their website looks like one that did.
There’s a consistency in tone and style that makes it all feel tied together - it’s cohesive. If I saw something elsewhere that used similar styles, I would think to myself “that looks like something from By Akki”.
The next point I want to highlight is something small, but it ties into the previous point about style. Note the use of emojis in the Shop dropdown navigation item.
The star emojis stand out and instantly draw your attention to the “new” subpage. They also are right at home with the friendly and approachable tone of the rest of the site. If emojis fit with your own brand, consider using a few here and there!
Lastly, take a look down at the lower right corner of any page of the website. You’ll notice a little Facebook-style message icon.
Adding Messenger to your website gives your customers a quick and easy way to chat with you, especially if they already use Facebook. It’s also meeting your customers in a space that’s convenient for them.
