This week may not look like much, but I made a critical mental shift wherein I've started changing my approach including a major overhaul of my store's layout.
Rocklawn Arts still contains all the products it did before though there are less categories visible on the home page.
On the
Products Page, you can see all the product types under the Department drop down menu and all the categories under the Category drop down menu. When you choose a Department, new subdivisions will appear in the drop down menu.
Basically I'm transitioning from categories grouped by design established over years with thousands of products to categories grouped by product type. It will be an ongoing process. Right now I'm working out what my top level categories should be.
Last week this seemed utterly daunting, but this week I began with smaller steps. I rearranged the categories some, made all but 6 invisible to improve the appearance on mobile devices.
I added subcategories to the
Calendars folder and used product images for the category images.
Also redid the
Fabrics folder some, reorganizing and adding a few invisible subcategories available in the drop down menu.
Made several subcategories in
Winter Photos invisible though their products still appear.
Moved red & green designs to
Holiday Designs category. It's still subdivided by design rather than products for now.
