I'd like to revise the welcome.jpg graphic and add a special offer (such as a free hat with any order). Then, link the jpg to a checkout page with the item already in the cart.

So here are my quesitons:
[1] In what file do I add the <a href> link to cause the jpg to become a link?
[2] Without the prospect actually going through the product detail page, how can I add a specific item in the link that takes them directly to checkout?
[3] If it's not possible to load an item in the cart without selecting the product detail "Add to cart" perhaps the link could direct them to a special offer.

I've recently heard that conversion is 30% higher when the home page graphic is tied to a special deal that takes the prospect directly to the cart.

Any and all suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks,

Rex

Use webmaster mod to find where the graphic is, probably customer/main/welcome.tpl

To get an add to cart link, go to the product you want in the admin area and use the 'generate html links' button.

I appreciate your help balinor!

Where would I add the <a href="x"></a> url in this code:

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/customer_images/welcome.jpg" width="583" height="262" alt="Sportfishing shirt and wading pant by Aqua Design" />

Thanks,

Rex

<a href="x"><img src="{$ImagesDir}/customer_images/welcome.jpg" width="583" height="262" alt="Sportfishing shirt and wading pant by Aqua Design" border="0" /></a>

Be sure and add the border="0" part or you'll get a border around the image.

Many thanks!
