How can I improve my online fashion store's design and appeal?

Topic summary

Feedback focuses on improving design, trust, and conversion for an online fashion store selling dresses and coats. Multiple reviewers say the site looks elegant but suggest tightening the header (too tall), adding a clear CTA on the “25% Off” banner, enabling quick-add on collections, shifting product images to the left, and enhancing the About Us page with a centered heading and image.

Additional recommendations:

  • Add a favicon and festive/seasonal design with clearly highlighted offers.
  • Display customer reviews/testimonials and consider a featured product on the homepage.
  • Replace the blurry promo banner image, connect Instagram for social proof, start a blog for SEO, collaborate with micro‑influencers, and use post‑purchase surveys to find effective marketing channels.

Store owner updates: implemented many changes and asks for re-checks. Couldn’t add a country/region selector to the announcement bar. Requests guidance on review setup and whether to add more reviews, what image to use on About Us, and whether the favicon should be the full image or just the “SS” logo. Will keep the sale wording (“Buy 1, Get 25% Off on Two Items”).

Latest: running a Pinterest conversions campaign ($14 lifetime, 12/18–12/23), broad US targeting (all genders/ages; fashion-related interests; 80M+ potential reach). Seeking honest evaluation and UX improvements. Discussion remains open; screenshots were central to layout critiques.

Hi @merv23 ,

This is Kate from PageFly - Shopify Landing Page Builder App.

Your website is beautifully designed and elegant. It’s clear that you’ve put a lot of thought and effort into creating a great online presence.

From my experience, I noticed a few things that could be improved on your website.

1. Add favicon to your store

Favicon helps users easily identify and switch between open tabs in their web browser. This is particularly useful when users have multiple tabs open, and a recognizable favicon can make it easier for them to find and return to your store.

2. Resize the header

You should resize the header, the sticky header takes up 1/3 of the space on the page. When customers scroll, it causes discomfort for them when viewing other content.

3. Add Call to action button to the banner

A well-designed CTA button can significantly improve conversion rates. By guiding users towards a desired action, you increase the likelihood of turning visitors into customers.


4. Add testimonial - customer reviews

Customer reviews are proof of your product quality. This section will help you build customers’ trust. You can show rating stars for each product or you can add customer reviews as text and photos.

Reviews are crucial when it comes to shopping online.

5. Get ready for holiday season

As the holiday season approaches, and with many businesses already gearing up for festivities like Christmas, your products align seamlessly with this festive period. I strongly encourage you to implement these suggestions to maximize your success during these celebrations. You can use a page builder app to achieve this.

  • Festive website design: Update your website with a festive theme that reflects the holiday spirit. Add seasonal graphics, banners, and colors to create an inviting and celebratory atmosphere for visitors.

  • Holiday specials and offers: Ofer exclusive holiday promotions, discounts, or special deals to entice customers. Highlight these offers prominently on your website to catch the attention of potential buyers.

That’s all of my feedback. Hope it helps to increase your conversion rate. Merry Christmas!!!
