Recreation Outfitters – Shopify Redesign for Improved Product Discovery, UX & Conversion

Hero Image

Project Overview

Recreation Outfitters needed more than a visual refresh. As an established outdoor retail store with a broad product catalog, the site needed a redesign that could better support product discovery, reduce friction, and improve commercial performance. Webgarh delivered a complete Shopify store redesign built around CRO principles and the needs of a large-catalog retail experience. After launch, the new design contributed to a 10% increase in sales and a 20% drop in bounce rate. It was also executed with minimal operational disruption during the move to Shopify.
