Imagine yourself walking through a garden that is well kept. You can easily find paths that take you to beautiful places. That's how the navigation on your website should feel. Easy to use navigation can make the difference between a bounce and a conversion.
What makes this so important? People who visit your site in the spring when there are likely to be a lot of seasonal deals are usually looking for something very specific. The better it is for them to find it the better. People who might buy from you might click "back" before you can say "Easter egg hunt" if your navigation is hard to understand or too busy.
You might want to think about using a simple menu with clear labels and groups that make sense. If you're having seasonal sales or adding new spring collections these should be at the top of your menu. Use dropdown menus only when you need to so that users don't get too much information. Instead of looking for information like a scavenger hunt think of it as giving a tour.
There is a lot of life in the spring. It's about soft colors light textures and the smell of new beginnings. But when you make your website you need to find a way to balance these two things. You want your site to look like spring but not like an Easter basket.
How can you strike this balance? Begin by adding spring themed pictures in a way that isn't too obvious. Use soft colors like light green or pastel pink but don't make everything look like a rainbow. The main colors of your website should still be the basis for your brand identity.
You can also change the look of your design by using images or textures that are inspired by nature. A pretty picture of spring flowers on your homepage or header can set the mood without being too much. If you sell things you might want to show them off in springtime settings. A store that sells garden tools for instance might have a hero image of someone gardening in a bright spring setting.
In the spring people often look for new things to buy and good deals. Customers should be able to easily find new stock or special seasonal deals on your website.
The psychology of scarcity says that people want things that are hard to get. This can help you get more sales. To get people's attention use banners pop ups or well placed elements that say "Spring Specials" or "Limited Time Offers." Make these things look different from each other so that people can see them right away. Just remember to be polite and don't go too far.
Don't put your new spring items like a clothing line that's great for warmer weather in the same old categories. Put them in their own section on your homepage to make them stand out. This invites people to look around which makes them more interested and leads to sales.
Content is more than just stuff to put on your website. It's what makes people want to talk to you get involved and eventually buy from you. In the spring content that fits the season can get people to really interact.
You might want to write blog posts that give spring tips that are specific to your field. If you sell home decor talk about the newest ways to make rooms look brighter. You could write about "spring detox" or mindfulness activities for the new season on your wellness site. People can also be interested in infographics checklists or how to guides that are about spring.
Adding the seasonal context is the most important thing you can do here but don't lose sight of your main point. This gives your voice more power and shows that your brand knows what people want and need right now.
Last but not least think about how to make your site feel like a place where people can connect. Spring is a time of year when people feel full of energy. People are more likely to talk to each other share and get involved. Give them chances to do that.
Put customer reviews and testimonials at the top of your pages. Social proof helps people trust you and feel like they belong and what other people say about your business is often more important than what you say about yourself. Also don't forget to add buttons for sharing on social media so that people can easily share your spring collection or deals on sites like Facebook and Instagram.
To get people interested in your brand in a fun and informative way think about adding interactive elements like a spring quiz. Making people feel like they are part of something not only keeps them on your site longer but it also makes them want to join your community.
Finally use a lead magnet that has to do with spring to get people to sign up for your newsletter. A free eBook a discount or early access to new products are all good ideas. These not only get people to sign up for your email list but they also let people keep talking to you after they leave.
Spring is a time of growth in nature and it's also a good time to start a new business. Cleaning up your website in the spring can help you get more customers and keep them coming back. And really who wouldn't want their business to grow and bloom like the most beautiful flower in the garden?
