Hey folks :waving_hand:

I’ve been building up my store, Hendo Elite, and figured I’d reach out to some fellow store owners for a bit of feedback. Nothing formal — just your honest take.

Have a quick browse when you’ve got a minute

:eyes: Let me know what stands out (good or bad)

:light_bulb: Open to any tips, suggestions, or things you think could be better

I’m always trying to improve and learn from others doing their thing. If you’re down to help out, I’d really appreciate it — and happy to return the favor if you ever want a second set of eyes on your store too.

Appreciate you! :raising_hands:

Right of the gate, I would suggest:

  • Default to the user’s local currency based on geolocation to reduce confusion.

  • Add a section for customer testimonials to build trust and credibility.

  • Landing page is a bit empty. Landing page is crucial for first impression.

Thank you so much, we really appreciate that

Hi there!

Ian here from Fast Bundle.

Welcome to the Shopify Community. Hope you make some great sales and everything goes smoothly ahead.

Here are my suggestions:

Photos of clothes worn by models have a better visual appeal and are more effective for sales.

I also suggest working a bit more on the homepage images, writing some fact about your brand and product fabrics to impress people and make better trust.

Adding some promotions for first orders may also help with conversions :smiley:
Add some reviews to help merchants decide.

Hope my suggestions help!

Thank you so much, we appreciate your input
