by | Feb 1, 2025

At EcomRolodex, a leading Shopify design and development agency, we specialize in redesigning and optimizing Shopify stores to maximize sales. Recently, we worked with a client in the chemical products industry, revamping their online store to improve user experience and increase conversion on Shopify.

Through a strategic, phased approach, we implemented key optimizations that resulted in a 61% increase in conversions within just 30 days. This project, completed in under four weeks, highlights our expertise in Shopify conversion optimization and our ability to deliver fast, impactful results for ecommerce brands in 2025.

2. Redesigning a Shopify store for conversion

2.1. Branding: Since this brand had a non-authentic branding guide, we create it for their website from scratch in Figma and approved it with their team

2.3. Homepage Optimization:

As the first impression of any online store, the homepage was designed to be visually appealing, user-friendly, and conversion-focused, ensuring visitors are instantly engaged and encouraged to explore further.

  • Establishes brand credibility with a professional, cohesive design that reinforces the brand identity.
  • Features an intuitive navigation structure that seamlessly guides users to product pages for a smoother shopping experience.
  • Builds trust by integrating real Trustpilot reviews, showcasing social proof immediately.
  • Highlights key product benefits multiple times throughout the page to reinforce value and encourage conversions.
  • The announcement bar includes a countdown timer for time-sensitive promotions, creating urgency and boosting sales.
  • Custom-designed images visually explain product features and benefits, making the value proposition clear at a glance.

2.4. Product Page Optimization:

The product page was meticulously designed to provide detailed insights into the Ordering Chemical Products Process, ensuring potential customers have all the information needed to make informed purchasing decisions.

  • Includes high-quality 3D renders to showcase the product from multiple angles.
  • The Add-To-Cart button is strategically placed above the fold with a high-contrast color to maximize visibility.
  • Builds trust with customer reviews displayed prominently on the first screen.
  • Utilizes custom icons to quickly convey product benefits and features.
  • A featured client review is placed next to the “Add-To-Cart” button to reinforce credibility.
  • Multiple Add-To-Cart buttons are placed throughout the page to enhance conversion, including a sticky bar on mobile for seamless checkout access.

2.5. Collection Page Optimization:

The collection page was designed to create a streamlined browsing experience, helping customers easily explore the range of Pre-made Designs.

  • All designs were made uniform in size, creating a clean, visually appealing, and branded look.
  • Optimized filters and sorting were implemented to allow customers to find their preferred designs quickly.

3. Coding an Optimized Shopify Store

3.1. Best Practices:

With a solid design in place, the development phase began. The expert developers at EcomRolodex followed industry best practices to ensure the website was not only visually appealing but also fully responsive, high-performing, and user-friendly.

3.2. Mobile Optimization:

At EcomRolodex, we prioritize mobile-first design, ensuring that every Shopify store provides a seamless shopping experience across all devices. By implementing responsive design techniques, we optimize for touch navigation, fast load times, and smooth interactions on mobile.

3.3. Speed Optimization:

Performance is critical to conversions. Our team leveraged custom Liquid coding to create lightweight, efficient sections while optimizing images and assets for blazing-fast load speeds. Unlike many agencies, we strictly avoid inline CSS, third-party app code injections, or external server dependencies, ensuring the site remains lightweight, secure, and independent.

3.4. Easy Editing Without Code:

We designed the Shopify store to be 100% manageable from the Shopify CMS, allowing the client to easily edit text, images, and content without touching code. This setup enables effortless creation of new product and collection pages using reusable, customizable templates—giving full flexibility without relying on developers.

4. Final Revisions & Content Update

Using Markup, the client was able to pinpoint specific areas on full-page screenshots of the homepage and product page. This interactive feature allowed for precise feedback, ensuring that the final website met the client’s standards.

5. Project Management


EcomRolodex’s private project management system was a game-changer. It centralized communication between the designers, developers, and the client. The system allowed the client to access all files on Google Drive, and track tasks transparently, ensuring a smooth workflow from start to finish.
