Website checklist for Black Friday 

With Black Friday coming up, now is the time for eCommerce stores to get their website in shape to make the most of sales opportunities.

Use the below checklist to prepare your store for Black Friday:

1. Create an announcement banner: Place a banner on the top of your website homepage and key pages to announce your upcoming Black Friday deals.
2. Update your homepage graphics: Refresh your homepage with eye-catching graphics to highlight your biggest promotions.
3. Promote in advance: Build anticipation by informing your audience ahead of time through email campaigns and social media posts.
4. Optimise your website: Ensure your site loads quickly and is easy to navigate to handle increased traffic.
5. Upgrade your website hosting: Opt for a high-performance website hosting plan to avoid downtime during peak shopping times.
6. Limit WooCommerce plugins: Use only essential plugins to prevent slowdowns and potential conflicts. Every plugin and feature adds additional load time and strain to your server that could be used to help another customer complete a transaction.
