The Challenge

R3NEW Tech, a fast-growing marketplace for refurbished electronics, was experiencing significant traffic but struggling with conversion rates that were below industry standards. Despite offering competitive prices and quality products, visitors weren't completing purchases at the expected rate.

The company faced several key challenges:

• Complex user journey with too many steps to complete a purchase
• Lack of clear product information and trust signals
• Missed opportunities for upselling and cross-selling
• Mobile experience that didn't match the desktop experience
• Call-to-action buttons that weren't optimized for conversions

Our Approach

After conducting a comprehensive UX audit and analyzing user behavior through heatmaps and session recordings, we developed a strategic plan to optimize the homepage and product pages with a focus on improving the overall user experience and increasing conversions.

Homepage Redesign

We restructured the homepage to create a clearer hierarchy and more intuitive navigation:

• Simplified the hero section with a stronger value proposition
• Created category cards with clear visuals and direct links
• Added social proof elements including reviews and trust badges
• Implemented a featured products section highlighting best sellers
• Optimized the mobile experience with touch-friendly elements

• Clearer product specifications and condition information
• Prominent warranty and return policy information to build trust
• Redesigned CTA buttons with action-oriented text and better placement
• Intelligent product recommendations for upselling and cross-selling
