Which contents should I place in the sidebar?
Since the content in your sidebar repeats on every page, this is where you would normally put all the info that is supposed to be easily accessible to your users.
- Contact information: Provide your business address or let visitors know how to get in touch with you
- Business hours: If opening hours are important for your business, your customers should see this info right away
-
Social media: Attract attention to your social media accounts by linking them in your sidebar. In most cases, the logo of the respective social network is used in conjunction with a link to one’s own profile. Simply use the image element and link the image.
