Article updated on October 15, 2015. Widgets are fundamental points of contact that initiate dialogue with your visitor. Needless to say, they are essential for boosting communication on your site. And that's a good thing because SPREAD has just completely overhauled its widget system, so that you can be even more on your best behavior than before!
The widget, a strategic element
You know the importance of the first impression. On the web, the verdict is clear: you only have a few seconds to seduce your interlocutor . Thanks to website development service widgets, you add animation but above all interactivity to your site. But if you want to get in touch with your customer, you might as well do it in an original way, right? To do this, SPREAD has completely revised its widget mechanics. Now, there are no longer 7 but 14 possibilities waiting for you! For example, Abitare Kids , who wants to communicate about the 10 years of their store, animates their home page with a pop-up redirecting to a competition module.
What changes compared to the old ones?
In addition to designing new types of widgets, we have significantly improved the graphical aspect and the implementation in the back-office.
The goal of this redesign was of course a visual evolution of the widgets. Now, you are completely in control of their placement . In the open version, in the closed version, you choose where they appear. You can also activate the opening with a 3D effect, and so on... In short, it's a bit like the widget where you are the hero!
Beyond that, don't hesitate to define a real widget strategy on your site. They are not exclusively reserved for your home page. And there is no risk of lengthening your loading times because they are asynchronous. You will then be able to intelligently target your message, using the very many configuration options. Take a look:
A simple example: is it really relevant to offer sponsorship before the order confirmation page? Not really... It is much more likely to encourage participation once the order has been placed. Similarly, displaying an offer with free shipping after viewing five product sheets could perhaps influence the act of purchasing!
