Different ways to promote a litter on your homepage

Overview of the different building blocks you can use to highlight upcoming or available litters on your Breedpost homepage.

There isn’t just one way to advertise a litter on your homepage in Breedpost.

Depending on how prominent you’d like the announcement to be, you can use a banner, a content block, or a dynamic list that updates automatically.

Below are several approaches you can use. Each method links to its own step-by-step guide.

1. Use a Breedings List Block (Automatic and Structured)

If you have already created breedings in the system, this is the most structured approach.

A Breedings List block:

• Displays selected breedings
• Links directly to each breeding page
• Can show hero image and summary
• Updates automatically when you edit a breeding

This is ideal for featuring:

• Available puppies or kittens
• Upcoming litters
• Current breedings you want highlighted

2. Add a Banner Block (Bold and Immediate)

A Banner block works well if you want a strong visual announcement at the top of your homepage.

You can include:

• A background image
• A heading (e.g. Upcoming Litter – Due May 2026)
• A short description
• A call-to-action button linking to your breeding page or application form

This is best for:

• Limited availability
• Deposit open announcements
• Time-sensitive promotions

3. Use an Image and Text Block (Flexible Layout)

An Image and Text block allows for a softer, more integrated announcement.

You can:

• Place the image left or right
• Include more descriptive text
• Add a button linking to the breeding or contact page

This approach works well if you prefer the announcement to feel part of your homepage flow rather than a bold highlight.

4. Display an Articles List (Blog-Driven Updates)

If you publish articles about your litters, you can display them on your homepage using an Articles List block.

This is useful for:

• Birth announcements
• Litter updates
• Behind-the-scenes posts
• Development milestones

It combines homepage visibility with SEO-friendly content.

5. Showcase the Parents

You can also use the Meet the Parents block to visually highlight the sire and dam.

This works well:

• Beneath a banner
• Alongside a breeding announcement
• As a standalone feature section

It adds visual interest while reinforcing pedigree credibility.

You Can Combine Methods

You are not limited to one approach.

For example, you might:

• Place a Banner at the top
• Follow it with a Breedings List
• Add a Meet the Parents section below

Breedpost’s building block system allows you to structure your homepage in a way that suits your breeding program.

If you are unsure which approach to use, start simple and expand as needed.
