Important tips

Tip 1: Plan your page structure

  • Think in advance about what should go where
  • Make a sketch on paper
  • Work from top to bottom
  • This way you avoid lots of rearranging afterwards

Tip 2: No spaces in filenames

  • "banner.png" ✓ Good
  • "my banner.png" ✗ Wrong
  • "my-banner.png" ✓ Good
  • Use hyphens (-) instead of spaces

Tip 3: Always test on mobile

  • Check how your page looks on phone
  • Many customers shop on mobile
  • Adjust if it's not readable

Tip 4: Keep it clear

  • Not too many elements on one page
  • Customers should quickly find what they're looking for
  • Less is often more

Tip 5: Use sections logically

  • Make separate sections for different topics
  • For example: "Promotions", "New products", "About us"
  • This keeps your page organized

Tip 6: Preview before you save

  • Reload your webshop regularly to check
  • This way you immediately see if it's good
  • Adjust where needed

Tip 7: Save your Markdown codes

  • Make a document with frequently used codes
  • Then you don't have to look them up every time
  • Saves time!
