Hi @Melaniestore
I hope you’re doing well.

I have just reviewed your shop page, and I noticed some issues:

  1. There is a strange background in the product section, which is problematic because it makes the product details hard to see.
  2. The products need to be displayed in grids with proper box shadows, buy buttons, etc.
  3. All the products are currently showing up without any category headings. They should be organized with clear category headings.
  4. Adding sidebar filters would be a plus for users, as it would allow them to easily navigate to their desired products.
  5. The product backgrounds should be white.
  6. The banner is too tall; it needs to be smaller so that users can see some products at first glance.
  7. The banner should display a proper heading with featured and most popular product images to attract users.

These are some changes I noticed at first glance on your website. There might be more improvements that can be made to optimize it and make it more user-friendly for both WordPress and Shopify. Below, I am sharing a website page for you to check out to get some ideas.

Hi @Melaniestore ,

For a WordPress-based store, especially if you’re using WooCommerce, you can apply these same principles. Additionally, you can use plugins like Yoast WooCommerce SEO to help with SEO optimization, similar to how Yoast SEO for Shopify helps with Shopify stores and it offers a 14-day trial, so you can explore its features and see how it enhances your store. Give it a try to experience the improvements firsthand!

Here are some best practices for optimizing product pages on Shopify, which can also be applied to a WordPress-based store:

  1. Create Scarcity: Indicate if you have a limited number of products available to encourage visitors to buy. Be honest about the numbers.
  2. Add Ratings and Reviews: Social proof helps in comparisons and builds trust.
  3. Stock Information: Clearly indicate whether a product is in stock or not to manage visitor expectations.
  4. Add to Cart and Wish List Options: Allow users to add products to their cart or wish list for future purchases.
  5. Use Multiple Product Images: Provide high-quality images from different angles to make up for the fact that customers can’t physically inspect the product.
  6. Offer Product Bundles: Suggest related products that can be bought together, possibly at a discount.
  7. Free Shipping: Offer free shipping or free shipping on orders over a certain amount as an incentive.
  8. Related Products: Show related products to encourage additional purchases.
  9. Show People Using the Product: Include images of people using the product to help customers relate and see its use.

These practices will help improve both user experience and SEO, leading to higher sales and better search engine rankings.

Do you have a license to sell this artist’s logos/photos/etc. on apparel? If not, your store will eventually get hit with a DMCA and probably suspended.
