High-Converting Design Inspiration

Confusing layouts, weak social proof, and checkout friction…

Here’s how Primary is losing conversions daily 👇

1/ Homepage Above-The-Fold

→ Current issue: Weak social proof, poor visual hierarchy

→ Moved key product image above the fold

→ Enlarged CTA with directional cue

→ Highlighted thousands of reviews for credibility

→ Added Instagram-style category navigation

2/ Product Page Optimization

→ Current issue: Missing trust signals & cluttered pricing

→ Added trust policy bar (14-day returns)

→ Improved image carousel UX

→ Made discount labels & benefits clearer

→ Full-width Add to Cart + payment trust badges

3/ Cart Page Transformation

→ Current issue: Clunky layout, no urgency

→ Added step indicators for checkout flow

→ Gamified upsells with free gift incentives

→ Separated cart summary & upsells

→ Highlighted shipping progress bar

While data-driven testing is always recommended, these UX changes alone could significantly increase conversions.

CRO Insight

Clear benefits = more sales.

Here's how we generated +$32K/month 🚀

The challenge:

Our client's customers couldn't easily see the advantages of their products compared to competitors.

Our solution:

We added a comparison table to the Product Detail Pages that detailed key product attributes such as:

- Material quality

- Comfort

- Durability

- Design

- Craftsmanship

- Resistance factors

The results:

→ +$32,884 per month

→ +$394,608 per year (forecasted)

→ +$0.63 revenue per session

Why it worked:

The comparison table clarified product benefits and differentiators, reducing the cognitive effort required for customers to understand the value proposition.

Faq Placement Do’s & Don’Ts

Most businesses make this mistake:

They hide their FAQs.

No answers on product pages. No quick solutions for hesitant buyers.

Just confusion and lost sales.

Here’s what happens when you don’t place FAQs the right way:

❌ Customers leave because their questions go unanswered

❌ Cart abandonment skyrockets

❌ Trust drops, and so do conversions

But when you get FAQ placement right?

✅ Objections are handled upfront

✅ Buying decisions become easier

✅ Conversions and sales increase

We’ve seen this work time and time again:

✔ A simple FAQ dropdown below the CTA-boosted checkouts

✔ Checkout FAQs reduced last-minute drop-offs

✔ On-page FAQs stopped customers from leaving

Simple fix. Big impact.

Don’t let easy questions cost you sales.

Smart FAQ placement = more conversions.

Try it. Watch what happens. 🚀

Oliver Unplugged

Simplicity Wins.

Last Week, I took a rare couple of hours off to support and watch my mentor speak at a local entrepreneurship event.

Even though I've heard these lessons individually hundreds of times over the past 5-6 years we've been close, hearing them again, delivered to a room full of strangers really hit home.

For context, Martin has sold multiple companies across different industries for multi-multi-millions over the past 40 years.

His success is huge, probably far beyond what I'll ever achieve (but hopefully, with his guidance, not!).

And yet, despite all his achievements, his principles boil down to simplicity.

These lessons, the same ones he’s drilled into me over the years, are the ones I unknowingly live by.

And today, hearing him reaffirm them so clearly reminded me just how much they’ve shaped my own journey.

I’m incredibly grateful for his mentorship, and if I keep applying these lessons, I hope one day I can come close to the level of success he’s achieved.

Here are his 10 rules for success:

✅ Trust your gut

✅ Embrace change

✅ Ensure you have ‘looking out of the window’ time

✅ Time & chance

✅ Understand your customer

✅ Fail fast

✅ Employ people better than yourself

✅ The 80/20 rule

✅ Believe in yourself

✅ Find someone you trust to talk to (not your partner!!)

Simple rules. Powerful impact.

Which of these resonates with you most?
