High Converting Design Inspiration

Luxury brand. Non-luxury UX.

NEST has incredible products and world-class brand equity but their site is missing core persuasion levers 👇

Here’s how I’d optimize their store after 12+ years improving 3,500+ ecommerce brands:

1/ Homepage Above-The-Fold

→ Clear, high-contrast reassurance bar (“FREE Shipping for orders over $125”)

→ Added trust icons for credibility (Easy Return, Super Fast Delivery, Quality You Trust)

→ Stronger navigation shortcuts (Candles, Perfumes, Diffusers, Bath & Body, Gifts)

→ Added review score (4.7/5 by 3,000+ customers) for instant social proof

→ Benefit-driven headline: Where Luxury Meets Every Moment

→ Supporting bullets: Iconic scents, Everyday luxury, Elegant gifts

→ Strong CTA shift from generic to Shop Bestsellers

→ Introduced visual scroller for browsing key products

CRO Insight

Big uplift from a simple UX/UI change.

🧪 Recent winning test!

The Test:

Realigning product cards on the collection page.

The Goal:

To improve clarity, increase PDP (Product Detail Page) views, and ultimately drive higher conversion rates and revenue per visitor.

The Why:

When product cards are cluttered or inconsistent, users have to work harder to process what they’re seeing.

We hypothesized that by aligning key elements (titles, pricing, labels, and CTAs) and emphasizing the product flavours, we’d reduce cognitive load and make browsing effortless, leading to more clicks and deeper engagement.

The What:

1. Standardized spacing and hierarchy across product cards.

2. Improved readability and visual balance.

3. Highlighted flavour names to make choices easier at a glance.

Asking the Right Post-Purchase Questions is One of the Simplest Ways to Improve Conversions

Asking the right post-purchase questions is one of the simplest ways to improve conversions.

But most brands still ask: “How was your experience?”

Which usually leads to vague answers like “fine” or “easy.”

If you want insights that actually help you improve your site,

ask questions that reveal friction:

- What nearly stopped you from buying?

- What made you hesitate before clicking ‘Buy’?

- What almost made you leave the site?

These questions go beyond surface feedback.

They show you:

- Where trust breaks down

- Where clarity is missing

- What’s slowing people down right before they convert

We’ve used this exact approach to surface objections, then fix them with targeted reviews and trust elements.
