Topic summary

A user wants to create a pre-homepage (landing page) for their Shopify store using the Dawn theme. The goal is to display a single image that customers click to enter the main website, similar to implementations seen on other e-commerce sites.

Proposed Solution:

  • Modify the theme.liquid file to hide main content and display a full-screen clickable image
  • Alternatively, create a separate Shopify page with only the image and set it as the homepage
  • Use JavaScript to track user visits and skip the pre-homepage on return visits for better UX

Status: The discussion remains open with one suggested approach provided. The original poster attempted implementation via ChatGPT without success.

Hi there,

I am trying to create a pre-home page so that when my customers access my ecommerce website, they find an image i like, they click on it and they access the website. I have seen a few ecommerce doing it with Dawn theme or modified ones.

Anyone has ideas on how to implment it? Itried via ChatGPT but I had little to no luck on it.

Any help is appreciated

Hi @taninfo ,

You can create a pre-home page in the Dawn theme by adding a custom landing page that displays only an image. When users click on the image, they are redirected to the main website. This can be done by modifying the theme.liquid file to hide the main content and display a full-screen image with a link. Alternatively, you can create a separate Shopify page with just the image and set it as the homepage. For a smoother experience, you can use JavaScript to remember the user’s visit and skip the pre-home page on their next visit.
