The challenge

  • The theme had been customised repeatedly over four years, leaving hardcoded sections the marketing team could not edit without a developer.
  • Mobile checkout drop-off was significantly above category benchmarks, and product pages loaded slowly on 4G.
  • Every seasonal merchandising change took days to schedule instead of minutes to publish.

Research

  • Funnel analysis segmented by device and traffic source isolated the drop-off to the mobile cart and shipping-cost reveal.
  • Sixty session recordings showed repeated scrolling between variant selection and the size guide before abandonment.
  • Interviews with the merchandising team catalogued every recurring content change that required developer time.

Strategy

  • Rebuild on a modular Online Store 2.0 base so the team owns merchandising end to end.
  • Redesign the product page around variant clarity, sizing confidence and early shipping transparency.
  • Shorten the mobile path to checkout and surface total cost before the cart, not after.

What I'd carry forward

  • Most of the conversion gain came from clarity, not from new features — removing steps beat adding them.
  • Giving the merchandising team editable sections produced compounding value long after launch.
  • Auditing the app stack before a rebuild recovered more load time than any single code optimisation.
