4 Tips For Creating A Terrifying Halloween Website
No matter what kind of business you are running, you can always take part in the spooky spirit and boost up sales on Halloween. For example, if you own a restaurant, then you can offer special Halloween themed food. If you are running an online clothing store, then you can drive sales with special Halloween costumes. Similarly, if you are running an event organizing business, then you can host Halloween parties.
But how will your customers know what you are offering on Halloween? The best way to do this is by creating a Halloween website or page. Since customers spend a lot of time researching online to find the best Halloween deals, creating a website can help them find your products easily.Â
To do that though, you need to make sure that your Halloween website immediately grabs their attention. Here are some tips to help you.
Create A Killer Landing Page
Your landing page is the first page that your visitor will see when they click anywhere on your website. Unlike a home page, which is used to help visitors explore your website, landing pages are used for specific campaigns or offers. That’s why it is important to create an attractive landing page for your Halloween website.
Serve Up Frightening FontsÂ
If you want to add a spooky touch to your Halloween website, then change the typography and add Halloween themed fonts. But don’t use special spooky fonts everywhere; your website will actually look better if you pair Halloween themed fonts with regular fonts. After all, nothing is scarier than having customers complain that they cannot read your website content.
For example, you can use fonts like Creepster for your headers, and for the body text you can use a simple font like Open Sans. This type of pairing will make your website content easy to read.Â
Use Haunting ‘Call To Action’ Buttons

Getting your visitors to make a purchase, or take any kind of action, can be done easily with eye-catching Call To Action buttons. You can use traditional Halloween colors like orange or purple to make your Call To Action buttons pop out. You can use these buttons to influence your visitors to subscribe to your newsletter, submit forms, purchase products or visit other pages.Â
Add A Terrifying ‘Team Members’ Section
When purchasing online, customers often want to know a little more about the people in your business. So, you can add a Halloween themed ‘Team Members’ section to your website to help your customers get to know more about your business.
