Brief intro story
The store had a number of challenges:


The eCommerce conversion rate was low.

The AOV for mobile devices was very low, compared to that of desktop devices, yet majority of the traffic to the website was from mobile device users.

 

They needed to understand their attribution model performance better, which would help their marketing team allocate campaign resources in a better way.


 
They also needed an overview dashboard for their metrics along with monthly reports to monitor the performance of the changes made on the website.
 
 

Process

Research step
We did a website audit, data analysis, video recording, and heat map analysis in the following sections of the website.
  • Home
  • Shop Page
  • Product details page
  • Checkout page
  • Blog Pages
 
What are the benefits of the above audit and analysis processes?
 

Website audit revealed the obvious UX challenges that the website had.


Video recording analysis and heat maps revealed user behavior on the website, where people were dropping off or struggling with the shopping, which important elements are not obvious to clients or are far from reach, how efficient the checkout experience is, and how easy it is for clients to make a purchase.


Data analysis helped us confirm exactly where the pain points were along the shopping funnel and know the sequence of events that users who made a purchase interacted with. Furthermore, we were able to understand the attribution model and choose the best for the business’ marketing team.


 
A/B testing
The A/B tests were done on the home, product and blog pages of the website. The section below shows the changes done on the website and the results produced.

Challenge

Low AOV on mobile devices. The mobile device users didn’t have a lot of confidence in making huge purchases and besides that, there was a high number of users who never added an item to the cart despite the mobile device users being 20% more than the desktop users.

adjustments made

Added the most important elements above the fold on the product details pages for mobile device users, such that they could find everything they needed to find. These were:


The image gallery


Product name


Rating


Product price


Floating add to cart


Financing Options

Results

Challenge

Low eCommerce conversion rate, high percentage drop off at the product details page and high cart abandonment.

adjustments made

Improved on above the fold items to make the most prominent ones easily accessible.


Made it easy for users accessing the information pages e.g. blog pages navigate to the shop page.


Showed the main product description in bullet point to make it easy for users to scan through.


Improved the image gallery to show visitors images of the product and also the product in use.


Made the FAQ pages easily accessible by moving the section introducing the FAQs further up the page.

Results

Challenge

Poor shopping experience (it wasn’t clear where to start), trust related issues, and also the quality of traffic.

adjustments made

Improved the home page to give users more information on what the website offers e.g.

  1. Added a video describing the services offered.
  2. Adding a link to a “how it works” section, which is more detailed than the video.

Added a few images to demonstrate the before and after services.


Added Google Reviews and Testimonials from the existing clients.


Added a page dedicated to the organisation’s portfolio of past services done for some of their clients.


Added video testimonials to the website.

Results

Challenge

The website was not mobile friendly and a good number of visitors didn’t understand what the the website was selling, hence, a high drop off at the home page and product detail pages.

adjustments made

We improved the home page to focus on what the website is about, the categories, portfolios and existing clients.


Improved on client support by introducing help section on the website.


Improved the image gallery on the category and product details pages to show the product in a variety of colors.


Improved the product details page to show the main features in bullet points.


Added guarantee messages, customer reviews and visual testimonials of happy clients wearing their products.


Added a free shipping incentive for users who spent at least $800 per purchase.


Introduced a shipping app which calculated the cost of shipping based on a user’s location to give users as much information as possible about their expected shipping and also the estimated delivery time.


Added floating add to cart and checkout buttons.
