    I personally think the best practice is to include a video explaining the business and what makes that business unique. In addition to contact information, products and testimonials of top returning customers. Always include an opt in box, maybe give away a pdf to collect emails you can later market to.

      Agreed, you should have an opt-in box or form as well, build a list, the real money is in the list.

      There's a few WP plugins that can help you with that and some even provide integration with CRM and Email Marketing platforms.

      Me personally, I use captainform and build opt-in forms because I need more than just a simple opt-in box and I can integrate my forms with mailchimp and marketo.

      Also try not to bombard your lists with products from the start, maybe make a newsletter where you can gradually send out emails with some valuable information like beauty tips, and after you've sent them a couple emails, then you can start sending out a couple products for them to buy.

    You can hire someone on Fiverr who looks great (perhaps a young girl with a pretty face) to make a video explaining the features of your beauty site.

    A video could be a nice idea, but my first idea was to highlight a product or a free gift.

    The free gift can be more effective since you can start building an email list where you can promote not only your products but also other products to make commissions.

    Maybe you can add a blog, your niche can be pretty interesting to read for a lot of people.

    Your homepage could be a highlight for a free gift as a main banner, the last blog post, some comments from readers or buyer's feedback and then the footer with helpful information and quick links to contact you, share and a little description about your site or yourself.

      I like Avada, they have some demo layouts you can choose but the main power is in the fusion editor which is a great help in creating good landing pages.

    I think the video idea is a good idea because it puts a face to the content. Helps to build trust like you're dealing with a real person. Create a video script and hire a pretty young girl from Fiverr, like TrafficFlow suggested, to make the video for you.

    Have her briefly talk about the website, what it's about, bla bla bla, and end with her talking about the free gift and how your visitors can get it. "We want to thank you for visiting our website. As a thank you, we've put together this free gift that we think you're going to love."

    And then tell them where to get it (where to sign up). Although if you do your signup box right it should be obvious. Add a picture of the free gift to the sign up box so they can see what they're getting. It seems like most people don't do that and their sign up boxes end up looks so boring.

    Add your sign up box to the side of all your post pages and add a horizontal sign up form at the bottom of your article posts. That one can entice them farther with some bullet point benefits - the benefits of signing up.

    I would use a lead magnet to capture the visitors emails. You can use a video or not, but I would personally recommend you offer something useful in exchange for your visitors emails.

    As a web developer and graphic designer I would try to expose the main product and some opinions below. To be honest i am not a big fan of videos on websites because it takes lot of data and some of your mobile users may be angry.
    If you're not going to have lot of products I would also use some live chat feature on website. Believe me that people really appreciate good and fast contact with sellers. I am using mostly livechatinc.com because you can customize it however you want with CSS and it's pretty easy to install it on your website - especially on website with wordpress.

    first of all , if tou want to promote a product , you should promote it by a website by putting your product idea by visual manner and then you should hire a seo expert to promote . and if you do not have much content promoting your products , you should not left your landing page blank . i hope you should need a coming soon page so that visitor feels that you have much concetration about this page and after a period of time you will launch your page accordingly . so think design before content placement .

    Hi There,
    I think that you should not forget the necessary design elements to the website. i.e. you should have a clear logo, a nice tagline, good clear links to other pages and products and give good clear RELEVANT information about the pros and cons of the products and services you are trying to promote/sell. All these aspects will help get your website the viewers you want. This will also help with your google ranking as you will give good valuable information in a meaningful way. Content is king! design is a very personal thing so try to begin with a standard looking website and build from there. There are lots of wordpress themes which will help you get the look you want - just remember that it is the information that you provide that will make the website stand out and be ranked well.

    These are some useful points which you should add on your homepage. First of all there should be a Logo of your brand. A Main menu should be there with the product list or category list. As you have mentioned you want to promote beauty products then it would be good to add some banners with attractive images. Below the banner you can put a scroller to show some top products.
