Build Your TCGplayer Website Like a Pro
Megan BurnsFirst impressions are crucial for attracting new customers. That’s why we give each TCGplayer Pro member a sleek, professional website to introduce potential gamers to your store. We also give you a powerful Content Management System (CMS), which makes it easy to customize your website and excite your players. To spark your creativity, here’s a few examples of what you can do with your website.
Your Front Page
Grab readers’ attention with a colorful banner at the top of your homepage. Create your own, or download hundreds of free banners from our Media Library! You can even do both, like Tyler’s CCGs: they use premade and homemade banners to advertise their events and trade-in services. The result is eye-catching rotating banners, each featuring another reason to visit their store.
You can also add Facebook and Twitter widgets to your homepage so visitors can see the latest news from your store. At Mom’s Basement Games, they use widgets to embed YouTube videos of their latest Twitch stream highlights.
Your Store, Online
Your website is also an online storefront where customers can browse and shop. You can even offer customers in-store pickup for their orders, like Game Quest, Inc. Bringing online shoppers into your store is a great way to turn them into regular customers.
New Ways to Connect
Your CMS comes with templates that make it easy to create an Events page for your store’s calendar, an About Us page for telling the story of your business and a Contact Us page with your store’s information. Check out Chicagoland Games: The Dice Dojo for great examples of all three templates in action. Red Castle Games also added pages for their play space and favorite local spots.
Once you’re comfortable using the CMS, there’s no limit to what you can do on your website. Next-Gen Games recently migrated to their Pro website and made it their own with a custom URL and a link to their Discord. When it was ready, they announced the move on their website’s blog.
