E-Commerce Redesign
Comfort Zone
E-Commerce Experience & Automation
A complete transformation of a WooCommerce store on WordPress. I redesigned the end-to-end shopping experience for performance and mobile, while introducing smart automations to handle orders, stock updates, and customer messages.
01 · Overview
The problem
The existing store struggled with a lengthy checkout process, confusing product browsing, and manual order handling that limited sales growth.
High friction at checkout
Shoppers faced unnecessary steps and form fields, resulting in a 68% cart abandonment rate and lost revenue.
Manual store operations
Payment tracking, stock changes, and customer updates were done by hand, slowing order dispatch and increasing human error.
“By combining a user-centric design with intelligent automation, we turned a manual, error-prone process into a growth engine.”
02 · Discovery
Examining the store journey
I analyzed customer purchase paths, device analytics, catalog architecture, and the backend handoffs required to fulfill each order.
Before
Cluttered discovery
Categories were difficult to browse on mobile screens, making it tough for buyers to discover complementary furniture.
Desktop-heavy design
Mobile accounted for weak revenue share despite bringing in over half of overall site visits.
Fragmented notifications
Transactional emails frequently missed inboxes, leaving buyers uncertain about their delivery status.
03 · Key Improvements
Four core pillars of redesign
We focused on reducing shopper friction and creating operational foundations that scale effortlessly.
