# Quick Nav on Homepage **Type:** Component Test · **Where It Runs:** Homepage · **Setup Time:** \~10 min Test whether adding collection circle navigation to your homepage increases engagement and revenue by making it easier for shoppers to discover and browse your collections. *** ### Video Walkthrough {% embed url="" %} *** ### Why This Works When shoppers land on your homepage, they need a clear path to the products they care about. Most stores rely on the navigation menu or hero banners to get people to collections, but both require effort. The nav menu is tucked behind a hamburger icon on mobile, and banners only highlight one or two collections at a time. Collection circles solve this by putting your top collections front and center as tappable, visual shortcuts. One glance and the shopper can see everything you offer and jump straight to what interests them. Less friction to browse means more products seen, which means more chances to convert. This works especially well on mobile, where navigating through a menu feels clunky. Collection circles are faster and more intuitive than opening a menu, scanning a list, and tapping a category. They reduce the number of steps between "I just landed here" and "I'm looking at products I want to buy." ### Best For * Stores with multiple distinct collections (e.g. categories, product lines, seasonal drops) * Stores where homepage is a top landing page * Mobile-heavy traffic stores * Any store that wants to improve collection discoverability from the homepage ### How to Set It Up 1. In your Elevate dashboard, click **Page Experiment** 2. Give your experiment a name and add a description of your hypothesis 3. Set your primary metric to **Revenue per Visitor** 4. Select **Homepage** as the target 5. For the variation, click **Add Custom Component**. You'll see several options: collection circles, collection badges, product circles, or product badges. **Collection circles** is a strong starting point and has worked well for many stores 6. Select your default homepage template to duplicate, then click **Duplicate** 7. Click **Edit in Shopify** to open the duplicated template in the theme editor 8. You'll see the collection circles component already added. Click on it to customize. Elevate styles it based on your store's design (stroke colors, layout), but you can adjust everything on the left panel: stroke thickness, image size, which collections are included, and the display order 9. Rearrange or remove collections as needed. Feature your strongest collections first. If a collection isn't relevant for the homepage, just deselect it 10. Hit **Save** in the theme editor and go back to Elevate 11. Preview the variation and control on both desktop and mobile 12. Leave traffic split at **50/50**. No need to isolate traffic or set audience targeting 13. Click **Create Experiment** to put it in preview state, do a final QA check, then **Launch** ### What to Look For **Primary metric:** Revenue per visitor. You want to know if easier navigation is actually leading to more purchases, not just more browsing. **Also watch:** Segment your results by mobile vs desktop. This component tends to perform especially well on mobile because it replaces the friction of navigating through a hamburger menu. Desktop impact may be smaller since the nav menu is already visible. Seeing the split will help you decide whether to roll it out across both or just mobile. **Timeline:** 1-2 weeks for most stores. Homepages typically get strong traffic volume, so you should reach significance quickly. ### Need Help?
