Redesigning the luxurious online ecommerce experince from homepage to check-out pages, optimizing the conversion rate by 45%.
New Homepage
If you have ever been to The Conran Shop, you would know they are a quality shop. Their store layout is like an art gallery and their stocks being pieces of art. I wanted to translate this feeling on to the new homepage. The idea was to make the tiles animate and move at different speeds, grabbing different viewers' attention.

Brand & Designer
As part of the redesign project, The Conran Shop wanted to create a new section of the site. The Brand & Designer pages to tell stories of products in the maker's view. I designed these pages to be image centric, with an emphasis on their key product and an areas to learn more about the brand or the designer.

The website redesign resulted in a 80% increase in revenue.
Product Detail
The most important part of an ecommerce site is the product page. This is where the user discovers the details of a product and makes a purchase decision. Working with The Conran Shop ecommerce marketing team, I studied the old product page. The analytics showed me that a significant amount of users were going through the checkout process just to find out the shipping cost. This was majorly affecting the basket abandonment rate. To reduce this rate, I exposed the shipping information earlier in the user journey. I placed it at the top of the product page along with key product details.

Iconic Product Detail
The Conran Shop offers many iconic furnitures that are created by famous designers. I wanted to give these timeless iconic pieces a special treatment. I created extra sections on the PDP page and added a full-width hero image.
