00:00.080 --> 00:00.830
Welcome back.

00:00.830 --> 00:06.140
And with the footer menu now looking great in this lecture, I want to turn our attention to this part

00:06.140 --> 00:11.630
of the site the hero image and in particular this text and this button.

00:11.630 --> 00:17.480
Because along with the fantastic image, the text is one of the first things that your customers are

00:17.480 --> 00:18.410
going to see.

00:18.410 --> 00:22.400
And so we want to use the text to achieve two things.

00:22.400 --> 00:28.640
The first thing is we want to make it immediately clear what our store is all about, so that our customers

00:28.640 --> 00:29.750
are in no doubt.

00:29.750 --> 00:35.990
And then secondly, we want to use the text itself to draw them into the store, to ultimately get them

00:35.990 --> 00:40.640
to click on the button and start exploring our fantastic range of products.

00:41.180 --> 00:44.690
And to achieve all that, we are going to edit this text here.

00:44.690 --> 00:50.930
We're then going to add in a subtitle, and then we'll also be changing the text on the button itself.

00:51.170 --> 00:57.350
And what I'm teaching you here is in fact a bit of copywriting, because what we want is to grab their

00:57.350 --> 01:03.770
attention with the title, which then makes them read the subtitle, which then makes them click on

01:03.770 --> 01:04.520
the button.

01:04.520 --> 01:07.460
That's essentially what good copywriting is.

01:07.460 --> 01:13.460
It naturally entices the visitor through a series of steps, leading them gently to your destination,

01:13.460 --> 01:16.250
which of course in this case is your products page.

01:16.670 --> 01:18.830
So let me teach you how to do that.

01:18.830 --> 01:24.860
And we'll start off by going back to admin, where you can see I'm already on preferences, where I'd

01:24.860 --> 01:30.470
like to draw your attention once again to the title and meta description, because what we're now going

01:30.470 --> 01:38.060
to do is to reuse the copy, reuse the wording that we created for the title, and also the description

01:38.060 --> 01:44.870
in the text for our home page, because not only is it great text, but as I'm sure you remember when

01:44.870 --> 01:51.440
we were looking at this just a few lectures ago, the title and the description also make up the content

01:51.440 --> 01:52.790
of the Google rankings.

01:52.790 --> 01:57.200
So let's imagine that somebody finds our store in Google.

01:57.200 --> 02:03.260
They see this text, they click on it, they arrive on our store where they're presented with a fantastic

02:03.260 --> 02:06.260
image, and then they see the same text again.

02:06.260 --> 02:12.500
And that not only links everything together, but it also reinforces what our store is about.

02:12.500 --> 02:19.610
And as you're about to see, this text is perfect to gently entice them to click on the button and view

02:19.610 --> 02:20.690
our products.

02:21.140 --> 02:23.630
So let's go ahead and do exactly that.

02:23.630 --> 02:27.320
So first of all, I'm going to copy this sentence.

02:27.320 --> 02:29.540
Come and visit our store and discover more.

02:29.540 --> 02:32.060
And then I'm going to go over to the themes.

02:32.060 --> 02:33.650
Click on customize.

02:33.650 --> 02:35.870
And you see here our current text.

02:35.870 --> 02:37.460
Browse our latest products.

02:37.460 --> 02:43.370
And to change that I'll come over here where you see exactly the same text, click on it and then paste

02:43.370 --> 02:45.860
in the sentence that I just copied.

02:45.860 --> 02:47.570
And then I'll click on save.

02:47.570 --> 02:52.430
Next I'll come out of the theme editor entirely, go back to preferences.

02:52.430 --> 02:57.890
And now take this sentence here because this is going to form our subtitle.

02:57.890 --> 02:59.480
So I'll copy that.

02:59.480 --> 03:03.050
Go back to themes once again click on customize.

03:03.050 --> 03:04.640
And then of course scrolling down.

03:04.640 --> 03:06.890
At the moment we don't have a subtitle.

03:06.890 --> 03:08.480
So we need to add one in.

03:08.480 --> 03:14.000
And to do that we'll come over here to where it says Add Block and then click on text.

03:14.000 --> 03:18.740
And if I scroll down a bit you can see some placeholder text that it's now added.

03:18.770 --> 03:24.260
Now because this is going to be the subtitle, I want it to sit directly below the title.

03:24.260 --> 03:30.380
So I'll come over here, grab this, and then just move it up a bit so that it now sits perfectly under

03:30.380 --> 03:31.190
the title.

03:31.190 --> 03:38.060
And then to change the text itself, click on it and then once again paste in the wording.

03:38.060 --> 03:42.170
And then before we go any further, let's click on save once again.

03:42.170 --> 03:45.950
And then coming out of here, all I need to do now is some tidy up.

03:45.950 --> 03:50.840
Because this text is a little large, this text is a little small.

03:50.840 --> 03:53.390
And this text here I would like to change.

03:53.390 --> 03:58.190
And so starting with the title I'll change the heading size to medium.

03:58.190 --> 04:05.060
And then for the subtitle I'll make that, as I said a little bit bigger by changing the text style

04:05.060 --> 04:06.770
here to subtitle.

04:06.770 --> 04:10.520
So clicking on subtitle, it gently increases the size of the text to create.

04:10.520 --> 04:13.190
What I hope you would agree is a better presentation.

04:13.190 --> 04:14.540
And then to the button.

04:14.540 --> 04:21.110
So coming out of here and down to buttons clicking on buttons you can see the title here shop all.

04:21.110 --> 04:26.540
Now personally I always find shop all a little aggressive if you like, so I prefer to do something

04:26.540 --> 04:27.710
a little more subtle.

04:27.710 --> 04:35.090
And the text that I like is discover more dot dot dot, which I feel gently entices them into my store.

04:35.090 --> 04:40.460
So with all that done, let's click on save and then head back to the store for the final check.

04:40.460 --> 04:46.850
So, coming out of the theme editor and clicking on the little eye, I now have a fantastic attention

04:46.850 --> 04:53.510
grabbing title which leads my visitor into the subtitle which says exactly what my store is all about,

04:53.510 --> 04:59.450
and that further entices them to click on the button, discover more, and begin browsing my products.

04:59.450 --> 04:59.840
And.

05:00.010 --> 05:05.380
All of that ties in perfectly with the text that your visitors are going to read in the Google rankings.

05:05.380 --> 05:06.490
So there you go.

05:06.520 --> 05:12.550
I really hope you appreciate those tips on how to write a title and a subtitle as you continue to build

05:12.550 --> 05:14.260
out your fantastic store.
