It makes them wonky and hard to read! Don’t use too many different ones. Keep it to two main fonts with maybe one more if the situation warrants it! Don’t pair two different serif fonts together. They’ll compete for attention and accomplish the opposite of your goal: nothing will end up standing out. Use contrast. Pair bold, straight fonts with daintier ones. Use different fonts, weights, and sizes in different roles to establish what is important.

Because who has time for things to be complicated or take a long time?! Clone a similar product rather than starting from scratch. In your back end click duplicate in the top right corner of your product page. Then all you have to do is change the details and the photo. Much easier than staring at a blank page.

They need to know: What you’re selling Who it’s for Why it matters/what problem your thing solves. And they need to know it all in one glance. No pressure right?!
