The Big Picture

Why a New Site — and What It Delivers

Why We’re Rebuilding

  • The product line has expanded significantly — hair care, supplements, tools, candles — but the site was built for a limited lineup
  • 80%+ of customers shop on mobile — the current experience doesn’t reflect that
  • Key revenue features (bundles, subscriptions, cross-sells) need native support, not app workarounds

What’s Different

  • Designed for mobile first (375px), then scaled up — not the other way around
  • Native subscriptions, bundles, and quantity breaks built into the theme — no app dependencies
  • Every page built for conversion: social proof, trust badges, smart cross-sells, and education at every touchpoint
  • Shopify 2.0 architecture — flexible, fast, and fully customizable from the admin

What We Expect It to Deliver

  • Higher conversion rate — from 2.53% toward 4.5% through CRO-focused design
  • Higher AOV — from ~$43 toward $55+ through native bundles and smart cross-sells
  • A platform that supports the full product catalog and scales with the 12-month growth roadmap
