all most finished my store got a domain but it has to finish connecting
Topic summary
A user seeks feedback on their nearly-complete boxing/MMA equipment store, which is awaiting domain connection.
Design & Visual Consistency:
- Product photos lack standardization across collection pagesâsome use white backgrounds, others gym settings, and some are cropped improperly
- Hero banner occupies too much homepage space (~15% recommended) and displays blurry/low-quality images
- Banner navigation requires scrolling to find small arrows instead of prominent controls
Content & Structure:
- Positive elements include product reviews, store policies, about page, and product histories
- Information hierarchy needs improvement: major section titles should be capitalized with larger fonts, subsections in medium fonts
- Review section text/star colors over-contrast with background; adding customer product images would increase trustworthiness
Functionality Improvements:
- Add âAdd to Cartâ buttons directly on collection pages
- Enhance search bar with larger product images, pricing display, and filters (brand, color, material, new arrivals, sale items)
- Relocate giveaway/promotional announcements from bottom to top/middle of page with more prominent design
- Implement clearer call-to-action buttons (Shop Now, Add to Wishlist)
Next Steps:
Focus on driving traffic through social media advertising (TikTok, Facebook, Instagram) and conversion rate optimization once visual/functional improvements are complete.

Hi @BlueGold_1 !
Your store looks amazing. It is great that you added reviews to the products, store policies, about page, and also histories or stories regarding your products. To start having sales, you can now focus on improving your store traffic and conversion. You need to create advertisements about your store and products to different social platforms such as Tiktok, Facebook, and Instagram. For more details you can visit these articles of How To Attract Customers to Your Online Store: 17 Ways (2024) and How to Increase Conversion Rate: 20 Advanced Strategies (2024).
One thing I would do is to standardize the photos. For example, at the boxing bags collection page, I can see all the product photos are in wildly different format, some featuring the product against a white background, while others are placed with a gym background with the boxer. Some are even cropped off and donât show the full product.
Having a consistent product photo format would make it much easier for customers to identify and make a decision.
You would probably also want to add a âAdd to Cartâ button on the collection page.
Hello @BlueGold_1 ,
Thanks for reaching out to the community. Iâm Tracy from BON: Loyalty Rewards Referrals.
If youâre not a professional designer, this is quite an impressive website! In terms of colors and fonts, it shows that youâve been quite careful and meticulous. Everything is fairly consistent! A thumbs up for you!
However, there are a few areas where you can improve to make your website leave a better impression on customers and visitors:
1. Hero Banner
The proportion of the hero banner on the homepage is not quite right. You should reduce its size so that it only occupies about 15% of the homepage. Additionally, the type of slider youâre using is not optimal; instead of placing the next button right on the banner, users have to scroll down to see a small arrow below for page transitions.
The image quality on the hero banner is not good. When viewed on a laptop, it appears quite blurry, like thereâs an overlay on top. You should optimize this to ensure your product images are displayed in the best quality.
2. Announcement Bar for Giveaways
The placement is not appropriate: To encourage customers to make purchases, you should place promotional information near the products and in a position close to the top of the page or in the middle. Avoid placing it near the bottom, as this area tends to receive less attention from visitors.
The design of the giveaway banner is a bit basic. You should add images and enlarge the âGiveawayâ text to attract more customer attention.
3. Structure of Information
The titles of the major sections should be written in all caps and use a large font size. The titles of the sub-sections within the major sections can be capitalized and use a medium font size.
For example, if the major section is âHot selling,â you should write it as âHOT SELLING.â Within âHOT SELLING,â there might be âsandbag for all agesâ and âMMA gloves,â with these sub-titles having smaller font sizes than the main title. This helps visitors to your site easily find the information theyâre interested in.
4. Improvement with product reviews
You should add product images in the review section as it can make the testimonials feel more real and trustworthy. It lets customers see that actual people have used the product and are happy with it.
The color for the review section is a bit over-constrasted with the background color. You can consider change the text & star color to a more low-contrast color like blue, red, black, etc.
I hope my suggestions will help you improve your overall store performance and get you good amount of sales!
If you find these suggestions helpful for you, please let me know by giving BON Loyalty a âLIKEâ or marking it as a âSOLUTIONâ.

Hi @BlueGold_1 ,
I am from Mageplaza - Shopify solution expert.
I would be happy to review your website and provide feedback on the performance. Here are my recommendations to improve the UX/UI of your website
1. Banner
The current banners are too general, you should use a high-quality, eye-catching hero banner with a clear value proposition and a strong call-to-action (CTA). Highlight any ongoing sales, new arrivals, or bestsellers. Below is a reference
2. Best sellers and Collections
You should add ATC, Shop now or add to the wish list buttons to encourage customers to buy your products. Here is reference:
3. Search bar
You should enhance the search by making larger product images, showing pricing, adding search by brand, search by collection to improve search bar. Below is a reference, with large pictures, it provides a better experience.
4. Category page
Add more filter options like brand, color, material, on sale, new arrivals, etc., to enhance customer experience, save time customer searching for products and therefore improve conversion rates. Here is a reference:
I hope some of my suggestions are helpful, feel free to give me any feedback.
Good luck!
