The pages a candy shop website needs
A candy shop site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Home with featured treats
- ✓Shop by category — chocolate, retro and bulk each get a section
- ✓Gift boxes and corporate gifts — high ticket orders
- ✓Parties and events
- ✓Visit and hours
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
