The Challenge

The client's Shopify store was generating good traffic from paid ads but converting at just 1.1% — half the industry average for their category. Revenue per visitor was severely underperforming despite a strong product.

A heuristic audit identified the core issues: no trust signals above the fold, product pages buried key information behind tabs, checkout had unnecessary friction (3-page checkout with forced account creation), and the mobile experience was broken on several devices.

What We Did

Week 1–2
  • Heuristic audit of all core pages. Heat maps and session recording analysis.
  • Identified top 12 friction points. Prioritised by effort vs expected conversion impact.
  • Designed new product page layout: trust signals above fold, key info visible without tabs.
Week 3–4
  • Built new product page template in Shopify. Implemented sticky ATC button on mobile.
  • Added social proof: review count visible above fold, "X people viewing now" urgency signal.
  • Simplified checkout: enabled Shop Pay, removed forced account creation, one-page checkout.
Week 5–6
  • A/B tested new vs old product page. New page won at 97% statistical significance.
  • Rolled out new template across all product pages.
  • Implemented cart abandonment email sequence (3-email, 48h recovery window).
Week 7–8
  • CVR hit 3.4%. Revenue per visitor tripled.
  • Cart abandonment recovery generating additional 8% of revenue.
  • Full documentation delivered. Client team trained on Shopify theme editor.
