Navigate Your Site

One of the best features of previewing your site with InMotion Central is the ability to navigate your site. Here are some examples of what you can do while previewing your site.

  • Scroll
  • Click through links
  • Access menus

This means that you can really get a feel for how the visitors will experience your site. I recommend thoroughly testing all the pages and menus to ensure they will display well on all devices. This ensures you provide a better customer experience and increases the chance of visitors returning or making a purchase.

If you want to make changes to how your site looks, the Customize Design button on the top of the page will take you directly to theĀ Customize section (/wp-admin/customize.php) within the Dashboard of your WordPress site. From there you can make changes to the layout, add menus, change the background, or edit the header to name a few.
