App home page

Your app home page is the first page that merchants see, and it should provide daily value to them.

Purpose

Anchor link to section titled "Purpose"

App homepages take many forms. A good home page should do the following:

  • Provide status updates.
  • Enable merchants to respond to immediate needs.
  • Provide clear call-to-action (CTA) buttons so that merchants can easily see the actions that they can perform in the app.
Various elements that are suitable for a homepage, such as a card with an action button, a dismissible informational banner, and a graph.

Must Do

Your app home page should provide merchants with quick statistics, status updates, or information that’s immediately actionable.

Support

Providing stellar customer support is a great way to set your app and service apart from the rest. Place your support CTAs in a place that's consistent and discoverable. Be as responsive to merchant questions as you can.

Some highlighted examples of support CTAs in the Puzzlify app.
Place your support CTAs consistently, but also out of the way of merchants. You can use an item in App Bridge’s ui-nav-menu web component or NavMenu React component, place a link in your page footers, or use a floating action button.
