Replo’s Post

This past week, our team kicked-off Replo's first ever annual design mini-project week, where we launch a series of high-voted, smaller-scoped projects —  One of our freshest features? The new Components Panel 🧰 Now revamped with a two panel design and re-organized elements, the new components panel is optimized for faster and more intuitive navigation. Some highlights: 1. Page and section templates are easily accessible from the top of the panel and take you to our template marketplace without leaving the editor. 2. Component labels include categories such as "Basic," "Layout," "Interactive," and much more, so you can figure out where you need to go at a glance.

We know how time-consuming it can be to manually configure designs for every text block, so here's a quick (but often overlooked) tip for you— Try setting default font styling on top-level containers, so their children elements will automatically adopt the same font. For example, if you're setting a container’s font to Arial, any text block added within this container will automatically use Arial, too. 'Saves you so much time and hassle, no? Best of all, if you want a consistent font across an entire page, simply set the font style on the top level Page container.

Gap, padding, and margin might sound interchangeable, but they're not. Rather, each plays a unique role in webpage layout.

We talk with many agencies on a day-to-day basis, but it's not everyday we get to sit down at a conversation as insightful as this one. Most recently, our GTM Lead Sanjay Jenkins talked with Matt Attalah, Founder Step Labs || Web Development Agency to discuss all things web optimization using IRL brands. The first brand we covered was Scheer, a South African brand specializing in grills and fireboxes. Our top takeaways? 1. Highlight your value proposition instead of technical details in the hero section. Tell a story to engage the viewer. Your H1 is your hook—make it count 📢 2. Always place the most profitable or popular product lines in the hero section. This is what your audience sees first! 3. Make it clear what exactly is being sold. Any confusion for the site visitor can discourage them from staying on your site.

Here's our user tips and best practices of the week— Use dynamic data to configure the majority of the content within your product components! It links your components to defined data sources in Shopify, saving you the time and hassle of making manual edits to each element. For example, if the price of an item updates, you won’t need to manually input the price for every product component it appears in. Instead, simply update the data in your Shopify store, and all dynamically configured components will reflect the change. It's that easy 😉 To learn more about tips and best practices for building your landing pages with Replo, check out the full article in the comments below.

Brands are spending MILLIONS driving traffic to their Shopify storefront — but they're almost all doing something very wrong — A ton of brands continue to drive ad traffic to cluttered and disorganized collection pages, and they're tanking their conversion rates. They're basically lighting money on fire. Landing on poorly designed collection pages means higher bounce rates and more clicks before a conversion event. Visitors might lose interest, leaving you with less revenue (even with the same ad spend). We wrote up a quick guide on how to set up your collection pages the right way, and how you can make sure your conversion rates don't plummet when you use them. Check it out in the comments 😉
