I redesigned this Shopify homepage and the "before" makes me wince.
The original led with an event banner. "The Chef's Selection. A limited-seat experience for 10 select guests in Mumbai."
Beautiful. Useless.
99% of visitors landing on a homepage want to know one thing in 3 seconds: what do you sell and why should I buy here.
The before answered neither. It sold an event nobody scrolling at 11pm cares about.
Here's what the after fixes:
1. Free shipping bar up top. Anxiety killer, average order value lifter.
2. Social proof above the fold. "Rated 4.8, 18,100 happy customers." Trust before the scroll.
3. A headline that states the offer. "Chef-Quality Pantry. Better Meals." You know exactly what this store is in one glance.
4. A subhead that handles objections. Premium, global, made for real kitchens.
5. Trust icons doing the silent selling. Premium, global, chef-trusted, fast.
6. ONE clear CTA. "Shop Bestsellers." Not an RSVP form.
7. Shipping reminder again at the fold's edge. Reinforce, don't assume.
The before was a poster. The after is a salesperson.
Most ecom homepages are decorated, not designed. There's a difference, and it shows up in your conversion rate.
I rebuild homepages that sell instead of impress. If your traffic is fine but your conversions aren't, the leak is usually above the fold.
DMs open.
