Home Page

PreviousViewing biddersNextAuction Listing Page

Last updated 1 year ago

The home is the gateway to your auction site. This is the place where you showcase what the auctions you have running at any particular time.

The home page will prioritise the auctions in orders of priority by date. The soonest auctions will appear at the top and the later auction will appear down the page.

We have also put in blocks further down the page, enabling you to showcase your business in the wider sense.

You will see in the menu next to the home button, there are pages such as How to Bid, About and FAQ which can be added and managed in the content area of the dashboard.

Auction Listings

We have two ways of showing auction on the page.

Featured Auction

The next auction to be run on your site will always be shown in the coours feature block at the top of your home page.

This is designed to draw the focus of the bidders to the most important event; your next auction. We want to ensure your buyers are sure when your auction will be running.

The same auction is then listed on the page below the feature block as a part of the list of auctions listed on your site.

Semi-Featured Auctions

Below the main coloured feature box, we list all other auctions published on your website. There are ways these can be displayed.

  1. Carousel - this is as shows all the lots in a carousel which can be navigated using the left and right arrows next to the auction title.

  2. Tiled - You may wish to make more of the display of the lots in the auction by showing them in a tiled display. This means for smaller options you can feature all the lots as images on the home page

Categories

You will see below the semi-featured auctions, we have shown the categories of the lots with the auctions listed on the site. This is a visual cue for the bidders to see the lots arranged in a different way.

For every category in the site, the buyers will be able to see a list of tiled or carousel lot images.
