Grade a toy retailer website on one thing: can a stranger tell within five seconds what you do, who for, and what to press next.

Ten minutes and this list is enough to grade your own site. No audit tool required, and no agency needs to be involved.
One constraint shapes all of it: Children’s products carry the strictest consumer-safety regime in American retail. That governs what proof can appear and how it can be worded.
Step by step
The first screen answers what, for whom, and where
A visitor should know within seconds that they are in the right place. Most toy retailer sites spend the first screen on a slogan and a stock photograph.
Proof appears before the pitch
Credentials, real photographs, and specifics — presented within whatever this category’s rules permit — do more work than another paragraph of description.
One obvious next step per page
Two competing calls to action perform worse than one. Decide what this page is for and remove the alternative.
It loads fast on a phone with a poor connection
A meaningful share of toy retailer traffic arrives on mobile in a spare moment. Speed is a conversion feature, not a technical footnote.
Every inquiry is attributable to a page
If you cannot say which page produced last month’s inquiries, the site is decoration with a contact form attached.
Common mistakes
Building for the owner’s taste
The site is not for you. It is for a buyer with a specific question and limited patience, and the two rarely want the same homepage.
Adding pages nobody searches for
Volume dilutes. A site of twelve pages that each answer a real question beats forty that were built to look thorough.
