Beautiful Art, Ugly Website

Artistica has been sharing their passion for art since 1980. Beautiful prints, canvases, and home décor that could make any living space sing. But their digital presence? Not so beautiful.

Their website was clunky, their emails were underperforming, and customers couldn't find what they wanted. They didn't need more traffic. They needed to convert the traffic they had.

  • Poor Mobile Experience — Add-to-cart buttons fell below the fold for 60% of mobile sessions
  • Confusing Navigation — Unclear filtering, inconsistent CTAs, poor product discovery
  • No Automation — No cart abandonment flows, no post-purchase nurturing, no retention strategy

A Conversion Machine

We rebuilt their Shopify site with a focus on conversion and launched a full lifecycle email program to turn one-time buyers into repeat customers.

01

Analytics Review

Dug into bounce rates, exit pages, and conversion funnels. Mobile performance was lagging, especially on product pages.

02

UX Assessment

Navigation was unclear, filtering lacked structure, CTAs inconsistent. The site didn't support efficient discovery or checkout.

03

Heatmap Analysis

Hotjar data showed most users weren't reaching product CTAs. On mobile, add-to-cart buttons fell below the fold for 60% of sessions.

04

Website Redesign

Revamped navigation, seamless cross-selling (like framing options), and mobile-first product pages that convert.

05

Lifecycle Automation

Built automated journeys from first visit to second purchase. Cart abandonment, post-purchase nurturing, win-back campaigns.
