Project Brief

WeatherTech is a leading North American brand known for premium automotive accessories, home solutions, and pet products. The Swiss/European division approached us to optimize their Shopify store for better performance, usability, and search visibility. While the brand had a strong product lineup, the site’s user experience felt clunky, with low discoverability of key items and underperforming product pages. Our goal was to restructure the store’s navigation and collections, streamline the path to purchase, and make high-value content more visible—without straying from the brand’s practical and performance-driven identity.

Project Goals & Strategy Overview

We focused on reshaping the customer journey with usability and conversion in mind, while also laying a solid SEO foundation. The aim was to make navigation effortless, ensure product content was compelling and well-placed, and boost user trust early in the funnel.

Full mobile-first optimization

To boost performance and sales, I optimized a car accessories product page with a clear layout, feature-focused copy, trust badges, and dynamic CTAs.

Better UX experience

increase conversion rates by optimizing the product page layout and content for clarity, trust, and performance.

Better navigation

Enhance the user experience and reduce purchase friction
Step 1
UX Audit & Site Mapping

Analyzed user behavior, SEO performance, and content gaps. Defined a new structure for collections, categories, and breadcrumbs.

Step 2
Navigation & Layout Redesign

Rebuilt main navigation and collection pages with clearer hierarchy and better grouping of categories. Surfaced trust-building elements above the fold.

Step 3
Product Page Optimization

Improved content layout, pushed key specs and CTAs higher on the page, added visuals for use cases, and clarified product benefits.

Step 4
SEO and CRO Integration

Refined breadcrumbs, added structured data, optimized internal linking, and ensured collections hierarchy reflected search behavior.
