Dear hermfazo,
Congratulations for your store!!
I’ve gone through your store and found that there are quite a few things missing on your store which if added can really make a lot of difference to the user experience, conversion rate and your overall sales. Here is a page-by-page/sectional review of your site:

Hello @hermfazo,
Congratulations on your store. I've taken a look at your store and found there are quite a few things which if added can make better conversions.
1. The store's color, font should be changed. Font is not at all readable in many sections.
2. Add sections like 'Hot Sellers', 'Featured Collection', 'New Arrivals' etc in Home page to help customers keep updated on store products.
3. Add favicon to your store which is a small square image/logo that appears next to a web address. Favicon helps to strengthen your brand and add a polished look to your website.
4. Add product reviews as most of the customers read the review before purchasing the product.
5. Discounts and limited-time offers will help to increase sales.
6. Add Contact Us page for better customer interaction.
7. Add About Us page which is a reflection of the purpose and personality of the business.
8. It would be nice if product images could be zoomed in / enlarged
9. Add social media for the store to increase the traffic. Having social media is a great way to grow your business, allowing you to tap into new audiences and gain more customers.
10. Optimize your footer with a more professional and functional look. Add pages like Contact Us, About Us, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, etc to the footer.
11. Add a detailed product description in product pages.
12. A FAQ would be useful!
13. Add filters in collection pages to help your visitors narrow in on the specific product they're looking for and find products they might be interested in based on certain features (e.g. size, color, category)
14. Add filters in collection pages to help your visitors narrow in on the specific product they're looking for and find products they might be interested in based on certain features (e.g. size, color, category)
Before you think of ranking you should ensure your pages are found (indexed by Google). You can submit your store content regularly to all the major engines, or consider using a convenient tool like flare by Mansion Ecommerce. flare automatically detects site changes and verifiably informs major search engines like Google & Bing. You can get your free Google Index Score through flare. Plus! Only flare can submit individual URLs to Google & Bing, allowing your prioritized pages to be indexed first and fast.
Hope this was helpful!

Hi @hermfazo
I would love to provide my recommendations for your store.
1. Home page
- You can consider adding a favicon to your store to make it unique and attractive. You can check Shopify Help Center for this https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/legacy/using-themes/change-the-layout/theme-settings...
- Make the sticky header:
Customers even though scroll down or up on the page, they can access the menu anytime. By accessing the header, they can go to other pages to see the store's products. Another important thing on the header is the Search field. The search field needs to be placed prominently so they can search immediately and seamlessly anytime.
- Banner:
The banner should focus on the store's product. It seems to be hard to imagine which product sold. As a customer who visits your store, I can say that you should choose an image which shows clearly the product image.
One important thing is that you should add a call to action button on the banner because this helps to increase the conversion rate.
- The collection
- For the remaining parts of the home page:
2. Collection page
https://lostfyles.com/collections/all
How do you think if you replace the pagination by a Load more button? By using the Load more button, customers can view all products on a page without switching between many pages. They can compare many products at the same time.
And as I mentioned above, you can provide secondary hover images for each product.
This guide will give you some tips to have a productive page like this and you will learn more from this guide.
3, Product page
https://lostfyles.com/products/f-ck-cancer
I take this product for example
And I also have a guide to show how to have a great product page, you can check it here.
I hope my recommendations above will help you to improve your store. Like it, if you feel it helpful for you or mark as a solution.
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

Hey there @hermfazo !
Your store looks fine, but there are somethings you need to work on. Here is my suggestion -
1. You need to come up with a color combination. Black and Yellow just doesn't suit your website! Because it's about apparels, then I'll suggest you to come up with a white background so that your product images can be enhanced and users can have a good view of it.
2. You need to work on your fonts. They look good while writing an informal invitation, but when your store is being used by people from around the world, then you've got to use fonts that are readable and easily understood.
3. There's no favicon? Don't miss out these minute details!
4. aLthough you tried your best to design your store, but with wrong choice of color, it took it's beauty away! Have a look at this product page - Usually, eCommerce stores don't run on such colors. You should always have a smooth color combination!
5. After doing changes with color of your website, you can add product reviews adn testimonials! Users love to review their purchases and its adds authenticty to your store!
6. We can remove "powered b shopify" and do some changes that will make your store the kind that you always to have!
With just some customizations, I'm sure your store would look awesome! But as of now, you need to brush up your store's theme, font style, images, and favicon!
I'm from CedCommerce - a group of coders and tech enthusiasts trying to help eCommerce guys with their store set up. You can reach out to me anytime for any kind of customisation ; add-ons or drafting sales/marketing/social media strategy! We have helped quite a few entrepreneurs in their journey, and if you need a helping hand, we would be glad to offer one!
Ps. I'm just a message away!
Wish you luck for your Shopify journey! Cheers! .-.

Hi @hermfazo welcome to Shopify family,
I hope you're thriving through this CoVid crisis. You really have a neat and well-maintained store.
After taking a look at your website, I would like to point out a couple of feedbacks.
1. Landing page images are the emotional foundation of landing pages and can help enhance the overall experience by keeping viewers’ attention and decreasing bounce rates. Even more so, good landing page images directly affect the quality score and conversion rates, especially in relation to paid advertisements.
2. The biggest source of organic traffic is search traffic: the traffic you get when a person types a question or a keyword into Google, your blog post comes up in the results, and they click on it.
3. Engaging the audience by writing a blog and promoting it on different social media mediums with good titles with backlinks redirecting them back to your website.
4. Add Free shipping bar on the topmost of your landing page and free shipping is the biggest excitement to customers.
5. A search feature on your homepage will give easy access to customers as more than 50% of users on a landing page head straight to search box to navigate the site. Ask your customers to rate your products as this will help build trust and loyalty for the brand.
6. Provide Clear navigation list out various sections of your site and link to them, this will help visitors with an overall understanding of the content you offer. Branded video content is likely to take over consumers are 300% most likely to watch a video about a product rather than read a description
7. Add a section of frequently brought/suggested items this will increase the product value and it will be reviewed as well. Bigger images in your catalouge view product list with bigger images and hidden description can increase sales and will add brand value to your products
8. Ensure that every product has large images in the product view that zoom to fill the browser window.
9. Product badges are a great way to highlight specific products in your store so they stand out. Getting your customers to take notice of the best product offerings and promotions means your sales campaigns should be even more successful. You can even combine product badges with proven marketing techniques such as scarcity and social proof and your products should sell even faster.
I hope this helps!
