Hello @nhellyer !

Great job on putting everything together, I can see you have done a lot of work! I especially love your logo, fits super well with your business.

At this point, I would recommend that you shift your focus to further fleshing out parts of the store that look like something might be missing:

  • Here, I think your homepage is where we could look at adding more.The homepage is very important, as your customers will see it before anything else and form their first impressions there. My suggestion here is to add more info About the Store on your homepage, such as a section with text that gives a bit of background and adds to the personality of the store.
  • Since you’re selling musical instruments, I would also suggest adding videos of those instruments being played. You could create a series of videos for each product and include them as part of each product page by following these steps here.

On your homepage, I noticed that once of your slides is promoting the Grand opening of your store - do you have a physical location where you plan to sell in person? If so, have a look at our Point of Sale system here (if you haven’t already) and see if this could work for you and your business.
