Struggling with low conversions? See how ATOPSOL’s ecommerce UI/UX redesign skyrocketed sales by 40%—explore our portfolio for transformative results!

The Conversion Crisis: Why This Store Was Losing $217k/year

BellaBotanics.com, a high-end skincare company, came to us with the following issues: 

A cart abandonment rate of 62% (compared to the industry average of 45%).

Average session duration: 1.2 seconds (bounce rate: 81%)

0.8% conversion rate on mobile (2.1%) on desktop

Issue: They lose out on three-quarters of potential sales due to confusing navigation and hidden calls to action.

ATOPSOL’s 3-Phase Redesign Process

Phase 1: Data-Driven Diagnosis

Our UX analysis showed:

  • Friction points: 

❌ It takes more than five clicks to complete the checkout process. 

❌ No filters for size or ingredients 

❌ Mobile layout broken (CTAs removed)

  • Users were missing the “Add to Cart” button, according to Hotjar recordings.
Phase 2: Strategic Redesign

Key Improvements Made:

  1. Streamlined Navigation

Menu items were cut from 27 to 8 (with mega-menu for subcategories).

  1. Product Pages Designed for Mobile
  • Dynamic pricing and a sticky CTA bar
  • One-tap size selector
  1. Building Trust Components
  • Real-time inventory counters
  • Testimonials on video auto-play on the scroll
Phase 3: A/B Testing & Launch

Results After 90 Days:

Metric Before After Lift
Conversion Rate 1.4% 2.8% +40%
Avg. Order Value $89 $112 +26%
Mobile Bounce Rate 81% 48% -33%

3 UI/UX Lessons You Can Steal

  1. Give “Thumb Zones” priority.
    • According to Google Research, 75% of mobile users navigate with just one hand.
    • CTAs were positioned in the thumb’s natural arc.

  2. Sales = Speed

    Page load time was decreased from 3.4 seconds to 1.1 seconds by:

    Making the switch to WebP images

    Eliminating seven unnecessary plugins

  3. Use Visual Storytelling to Help Users

Product benefit icons were added, and “contact support” inquiries were cut by 60%.
