Once you are on the home page, click on the Edit button on the toolbar.

This will take you to the Edit page for the home page as shown in Figure 9.15.

Adding Products to the Home Page

What if you have a product that's in a section and want to display it on the home page? Having products on the home page can keep the site fresh and bring attention to products, especially if they are on sale. Let's take a look at how to make a copy of the product and display it on the home page.

1.

In Store Editor, navigate to the product you would like to add to the home page.

2.

On the toolbar, click on the Special button. Once you click on the Special button, you will be returned to the section page.

3.

Now go back to the home page and view your product.

You can add as many products as you wish to the home page. Entice repeat visitors by keeping the home page fresh with new or rotating products. Some visitors will not go past the home page if they think the site has not been updated.
