01 / Context

An existing store without a shared foundation.

TOV Furniture already had a Shopify storefront, but there were no shared design guidelines or design system to follow. The work began with re-engineering the existing pages before establishing the system.

I worked as the design lead for this effort, covering every page of the storefront and then establishing its product design system.

FullStory session recordings and heatmaps informed the diagnostic phase, including the mobile product detail page work.

02 / Constraints

Designing within a Shopify storefront.

The work covered mobile-first and desktop storefront experiences using Shopify principles for customer-facing components.

03 / The approach

Re-engineer the pages, then establish the system.

01

Re-engineer the existing pages

I led the design work across every page of the existing store before establishing its shared design system.

02

Refine the mobile product pages

The mobile-first PDP overhaul included optimised image galleries and sticky add-to-cart CTAs, informed by FullStory.

03

Establish the design system

After re-engineering the pages, I established and governed a Shopify storefront design system for the product’s customer-facing components.

04 / Design system

A Shopify storefront foundation.

I established and governed a dedicated storefront design system based on Shopify principles and optimised for customer-facing components. Front-end development time fell by 20%.

05 / Outcomes

Two results, from two parts of the work.

+15% mobile conversion: attributed to the mobile-first PDP overhaul, including image galleries and sticky CTAs.

−20% front-end development time: attributed to the storefront design system.

06 / Evidence
