Convertica Studio
Shopify CRO & conversion design

Fix the journey before you buy more traffic.

What we see

The same eight problems, store after store.

Drawn from every teardown we've published. None of them are traffic problems.

  1. 01

    Traffic that never converts

    The acquisition works. The store asks people to choose before it gives them a reason to care.

  2. 02

    Product pages that describe instead of persuade

    Specifications where an argument should be. The page never says what the product changes.

  3. 03

    Proof placed below the decision

    Reviews, guarantees and origin all exist — under three screens of product grid.

  4. 04

    Permanent discounting

    When every product is on sale, the discount stops meaning anything and the real price stops being believed.

  5. 05

    Collection pages that dump rather than guide

    A grid with no filtering, no merchandising and no point of view is a search box with extra steps.

  6. 06

    Mobile treated as a smaller desktop

    Seventy percent of the traffic gets the layout that was designed last.

  7. 07

    Costs revealed at checkout

    Shipping calculated at the final step is the most expensive surprise in ecommerce.

  8. 08

    Average order value left alone

    The bundle offer exists in the announcement bar and nowhere near the buy button.

Services

Five capabilities, one engagement.

Most studios hand you a strategy and leave. We diagnose, design and ship — which means the recommendation and the build never disagree.

01

Shopify CRO

Traffic without sales

A structured teardown of the buying journey, then a prioritised programme of fixes ranked by impact against effort. We start with evidence rather than opinion, and we tell you what to ignore.

02

Shopify redesign

A store that has outgrown its theme

A full rebuild of the storefront around how your customers actually evaluate the category — not a reskin. Brand personality stays; the friction goes.

Art direction and design system
Home, collection, product, cart
Built and shipped, not handed over
03

Custom development

Functionality no app does properly

Custom sections, storefront functionality and theme work built to survive Shopify updates and your next merchandiser. Fewer apps, faster pages, less rent.

04

Mobile-first UX

Mobile converting well below desktop

Mobile designed on its own terms, with its own hierarchy and its own order of argument — because the person holding a phone is not a smaller version of the person at a desk.

Mobile journey redesign
Thumb-reachable buy flow
Reordered proof and trust
05

Ecommerce & LLM search

Invisible where buyers now look

Structured data, sourced claims and question-shaped content, so search engines rank you and assistants can quote you. Both jobs, one build — because the underlying work is the same technical hygiene.

How we work

Evidence first. Opinions later.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    Walk the store the way a first-time buyer does, and record every place attention or confidence leaks.

  2. 02

    Prioritise

    Rank every finding by impact against effort. Most of the value is in the cheap half.

  3. 03

    Design

    Rebuild the argument before the aesthetics. Proof, price and reassurance in the order the decision needs them.

  4. 04

    Build

    Ship it in the theme. No handover document, no translation loss, no waiting on someone else.

  5. 05

    Validate

    Watch what changed, keep what worked, and feed the rest back into the next round.

The audit library

We publish our thinking, in full.

Real Shopify stores, torn down page by page, scored across ten dimensions, with every fix written out and the redesign shown side by side. Free to watch, nothing gated.

Themes

Everything we've learned, productised.

Six conversion-first Shopify themes, each built for one industry's buying journey. Zero required apps, one licence, $300.

The studio

Fifteen specialists. One point of contact.

Convertica is a fifteen-person Shopify studio. Every audit on this site was recorded by Eva, and she leads every engagement — so the person who diagnoses your store is the person who briefs the team that rebuilds it.

Behind her sit CRO strategists, Shopify developers, designers, analytics and growth specialists. Enough depth to ship a full storefront rebuild; small enough that the diagnosis and the build never disagree.

Evidence before opinion

Every recommendation traces back to something observed on your store, not to a best practice we read.

Diagnosis and build in one place

The person who finds the problem designs the fix and ships it. Nothing is lost in translation.

Honest by default

No fake urgency, no invented savings, no review averages built on four reviews. It converts worse and it costs trust.

We publish our thinking

Every teardown is free to watch, in full, before you spend anything. Judge the work before you buy it.

Before you ask

The questions that come up first.

A personalised video walkthrough of your store recorded by Eva, covering the homepage and product page, a mobile UX review, a trust and credibility check, and a prioritised list of fixes ranked by impact against effort. It arrives within 2–3 business days and there is no obligation.

We design and build the fixes as well as identifying them. A recommendation that never ships is worth nothing, and a build that ignores the diagnosis is worth less. Running both from one studio removes the handover where most of the value usually leaks.

Yes. Every audit, every theme and every engagement is Shopify. Depth in one platform is why we can tell you in the first ten minutes whether a problem is your theme, your merchandising or your offer.

Stores with real traffic that converts below what the product deserves. If nobody is visiting yet, conversion work is premature — fix acquisition first, and come back when there is behaviour to read.

The themes are the patterns that kept recurring across audits, built once and properly. Buying one is the self-serve version of the same thinking; hiring the studio is the version shaped around your catalogue and your customers.

Eva reviews the store, records the teardown and sends it back within 2–3 business days. If the store is a good fit for deeper work she will say so, and if it is not she will say that too — the audit is useful either way.
