Industry: E-Commerce / Home Goods

Duration: 5 Months

A home goods e-commerce store had healthy traffic but a checkout flow that was losing most of it before purchase. We ran a UX and analytics audit, then rebuilt the flow mobile-first with A/B tested changes and stronger social proof, lifting checkout completion by 68%.

The Challenge

An established e-commerce site with 50,000+ monthly visitors had a high cart abandonment rate (78%) and dated design. Users reported difficulty finding products and completing checkout.

Our Solution

Comprehensive UX audit revealed key friction points. Redesigned navigation architecture, simplified checkout flow to 3 steps, improved product filtering, added trust signals, and optimized for mobile (which represented 65% of traffic).

Our Process

How we achieved these results step by step

1

UX Audit & Analytics Review

Analyzed user behavior with heatmaps, session recordings, and identified drop-off points.

2

A/B Testing

Tested multiple design variations for key pages including product detail and checkout.

3

Mobile-First Redesign

Prioritized mobile experience with simplified navigation and thumb-friendly CTAs.

4

Trust & Social Proof

Added customer reviews, security badges, and live chat to increase confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you find out where an e-commerce checkout is losing customers?

Analytics funnel data combined with session recordings usually shows exactly which step causes drop-off โ€” for this client it was a combination of a multi-page checkout and unclear shipping cost disclosure.

Why redesign mobile-first instead of desktop-first?

For most e-commerce stores today, mobile traffic volume is higher even if desktop converts better per-session โ€” designing mobile-first forces the checkout to work under real space constraints instead of being an afterthought.

What role did A/B testing play in this redesign?

Rather than shipping the full redesign at once, we tested key changes (checkout steps, trust badges, form field count) individually to confirm each change actually improved conversion before committing to it site-wide.

The redesign has been transformative. Our customers can actually complete purchases easily now, and our revenue has more than doubled!
