Hi @Literally ,

This is Kate from PageFly - Shopify Free Landing Page Builder. That’s good for preparing for Christmas sales from now.

I have just had a look at your store. Your store is well-organized but I would love to provide my recommendations for your store so that it may gain more sales. May it help!

1. Improve the header and announcement bar

  • Make the header smaller to improve UX and make room for other key content

  • Improve your announcement bar with a countdown timer and make it sticky: I notice that currently, you are running on a promotion, you can consider adding a countdown timer as an announcement bar for limited-time offers to create a sense of urgency and drive conversions. Also it’s important to make it sticky even when scrolling down to keep reminding visitors about the promotion. You can take this as a reference:

2. Revise your hero banner

The banner is very significant in hero material. It is the first thing customers see when they visit your website. Let’s get consumers to know exactly what you’re having in 5 seconds first. Your current banner does not show off what you sell, does not attract customers, and the CTA button is hidden:

Consider adding a symbol logo beside your store name now. It’s easy to catch customer’s eyes and display in a small area.

Under your hero banner, the background images with product images can help merchants can quickly recognize what the store sells.

3. Fix the mistakes

You should check all pages and make sure the page is responsive on all devices. Here are some mistakes I found so that you can fix them:

Don’t forget to check mobile view too:

4. Add more content on your homepage

  • A brand story helps customers understand more about your business and also helps your store look more professional.
  • Moreover, users’ perceptions of the site or brand can be positively influenced by the returns policy, and any warranty or guarantee information, which can reassure them that the site is trustworthy. Your information is quite hard to see on Product page now, make it clearer.

Besides building attractive and powerful pages, you should spend time focusing on marketing strategies too. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good luck and have a nice day! Cheers!
