Hey @TopTierFinds
Not to disappoint but would you purchase from a website that looks like this?
Product pictures are good but the website itself needs a lot of work. I suggest you to spend some time on your website and also have a look at previous posts in Store Feedback board, that will also give you an idea on what to work on.
Happy to help if you’d like me to give your store the right direction.
Cheers,
Moeed
But idk what to do for the why and what’s wrong about my logo?
Hey @TopTierFinds first of all I’m totally agree with @Moeed @rutvik_shop that you don’t have any personal domain so please first get your personal domain after that your home page is looks so weak , weak like in sense that you don’t have a proper header with menus and you don’t have any banner to show the products and also you don’t add any section to clear visible you products categories i think it is your first time to design a store so if you have any query feel free to share it
what can I do to fix all of that? But I found a domain that could be good it’s toptierfinds.net should I use that
hey @TopTierFinds sounds good i think you have to use it
So tha domain is good? And what else could I fix?
the honest answer is the store doesn’t look like a real business yet. no custom domain, no hero section, no story about who you are or why someone should buy from you instead of Amazon or Shein. 400 views with zero add-to-carts means people are landing, looking around for 3 seconds, and deciding they don’t trust it enough to buy.
before you touch anything else, grab a custom domain ($12/year), add a proper hero banner at the top of your homepage, and write even a short “about us” that gives people a reason to care. those three things alone will change how your store feels to a first-time visitor.
Welcome to the community.
Now, you may remove products and start over, and that is fine.
But I suggest you do a bit of research, here in Store feedback, check the last 50 topics, or some older ones. Also search for “no sales” and “zero sales”. That is all free and gives you great insight into what other merchants are doing well, but also badly. And learn from that. It is free.
And by the sounds of it you are going to do some POD and dropshipping. Note that is not easy and requires a lot of work. So think about that twice.
Domain .net is a but strage to see for a store. You should aim for .com, but that is getting very hard to get. So try alternatively .shop domain and make sure you get an email with the domain.
And not much to comment at the current store, but in general, dark sites are converting poorer than light ones. And your images need to match the dark theme. Gold for font color is meh. Also, make sure your logo is transparent and to not have a background.
And finally, make sure you can back your claims. “Cheap but great quality” sounds good, but it is rarely true. Also, do not use"cheap" but use “affordable”.
Good luck, but take time to learn some things first and then get to work.
What’s a hero? Everyone is telling me to do that but I don’t know what that is
If I use a light background what should I use? I’ll make sure to remember this thank you
For Hero banner, it is a way to use an image tagline, some text, and a call to action button to introduce your store to customers, present some sale, important collection, but mainly to lead customers to a page where they can get to know some of your products. For example
It should not take too much space, but in some cases it is fine.
Well, classic white #fff is mostly used, but you can add a similar color like #fafafa. But as you most likely are not a designer, maybe check some themes on the Shopify theme store, for your industry, and find some you like. In terms of colors, fonts, and try to replicate it on your theme. Here are some themes for Clothing and electronics.
Lets point out the obv here. If people keep mentioning a certain term, it would be faster and easier just to google the term or ask AI what it means with an example, not trying to be mean or anything but if you want others to help you, you gotta show them that your willling to help yourself. This just shows that you want people to give you answers and do less the work. Starting a business and making it succcess all depends on the people that runs it. Put some effort into researching your market and your competitors.
a hero banner is just the big image/section at the very top of your homepage, it’s the first thing people see. think of it like a billboard for your store. usually it’s a large photo with a short tagline and a “shop now” button that takes people to your best collection.
right now when someone lands on your store they just see products with no context. a hero gives them a reason to keep scrolling. for clothing stores, the best hero images show someone actually wearing the product, not just a flat lay on white. if you can’t afford a photoshoot, there are tools like Prodofoto that can generate on-model and lifestyle shots from your existing product photos. but even just a clean image with some text overlay telling people what your store is about would be a big improvement.
Yeah you are so absolutely right
To show the WHY, show your USP. Ask yourself, would you buy from a store like this? If not, what would you want a store to have, and that will give you many answers. Also, check with your competitors, check what’s working for them, and how they’ve shown their products.
Hi @TopTierFinds,
Good feedback in this thread. Laza_Binaery and rutvik_shop have pointed at the core issues correctly.
One angle I would add that goes beyond design: the biggest problem with a store that sells “hoodies, shirts, pants, and electronics” is not the visuals, it is the positioning. An unfocused store is invisible in the new discovery layer that matters most right now.
When someone searches ChatGPT or Perplexity for “affordable hoodies with good quality” or “cheap basic tees for everyday wear,” the AI does not recommend stores that sell everything. It recommends stores that specialize. A store called Top-tier Finds that sells hoodies and also electronics and also pants sends no clear signal about who it is for or what it does well. The AI cannot categorize it and so it ignores it.
Laza_Binaery’s point about USP applies here directly. Before fixing the domain or the colors, decide what the store is actually about. If it is affordable streetwear, commit to that and describe every product as if you are the go-to source for affordable streetwear. If it is budget basics, commit to that and make the product descriptions specific: “heavyweight 380gsm cotton hoodie, pre-shrunk, available in extended sizes up to 4XL, shipped in 3 to 5 days.”
That specificity is what gets you discovered organically and what gets you recommended by AI tools. A generic store with 400 views and zero sales is telling you the traffic has no idea what they are landing on. Niche down first, then build out the trust signals everyone else mentioned.
Regards, Rahul
