This collection showcases my work in designing retail landing pages that strike a balance between inspiration and functionality.

Health & Beauty

To optimize the performance of Fingerhut’s Health & Beauty landing page, we designed and tested two distinct creative approaches. The goal was to evaluate how different visual styles and navigation structures influenced user engagement, click-through behavior, and alignment with customer expectations.

 
 

Variant A – Playful & Category-Driven (Left)

Objectives

  • Create an approachable, celebratory look that appeals to a broad audience.

  • Encourage exploration across general categories with bold navigation.

  • Reinforce Fingerhut’s value-driven brand identity.

Research & Insights

  • Customers responded positively to bright, lifestyle-driven visuals.

  • Shoppers wanted easy access to broad categories rather than deep funnels.

  • Competitor analysis showed playful, colorful aesthetics boosted engagement for mass retail.

Results

  • Higher engagement on top-level navigation tiles.

  • Increased time on page, especially with lifestyle imagery.

  • Stronger performance among value-focused shoppers.

Variant B – Elevated & Retail-Aligned (Right)

Objectives

  • Deliver a polished, minimal design aligned with high-end beauty retailers.

  • Provide direct access to specific product-driven categories.

  • Test aspirational design with customers seeking premium experiences.

Research & Insights

  • Analytics revealed interest in targeted categories like skincare and grooming.

  • Competitive benchmarks showed aspirational design cues improve perceived product value.

Results

  • +12% CTR to product pages compared to Variant A.

  • +9% lift in add-to-cart rates on targeted categories.

  • Improved brand perception, positioning Fingerhut closer to premium retail.

 

Conclusion

While Variant A encouraged exploration and kept shoppers engaged longer, Variant B positioned Fingerhut closer to premium health & beauty retailers, elevating perceived product value. By resonating with shoppers seeking a polished, retail-like experience, Variant B drove stronger conversions, cart growth, and long-term brand alignment.

 

Apple Landing Page

To support one of Fingerhut’s most in-demand product categories, we developed a dedicated Apple landing page. The page was designed to showcase the breadth of Apple’s ecosystem in a way that is clean, premium, and easy to navigate, reinforcing trust and elevating perception of Fingerhut as a destination for high-value brands.

 

Objectives

  • Highlight Apple’s complete product line, from iPhone and iPad to accessories and smart home devices.

  • Create a premium, simplified design that mirrors Apple’s retail experience while fitting within Fingerhut’s brand system.

  • Enhance navigation and minimize friction by organizing products into distinct, easily recognizable categories.

  • Strengthen brand association between Fingerhut and Apple, reinforcing customer confidence.

  • Drive click-throughs from the landing page to category and product detail pages.

Research & Insights

  • Competitors: Electronics retailers (Best Buy, Target, Apple.com) emphasize clean, product-first layouts that spotlight the Apple ecosystem.

  • Behavior Data: Shoppers frequently entered through Apple search queries and category filters, signaling a strong need for a centralized hub.

  • Shoppers’ Needs: Apple buyers expect a premium, consistent experience that reflects Apple’s design standards. They want easy navigation by product line (e.g., iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch) without clutter.

  • Opportunity: By mimicking the simplicity and polish of Apple’s own retail approach, Fingerhut could elevate trust and reduce bounce rates for high-value shoppers.

Results & Impact

  • Delivered a streamlined, brand-forward landing page that matched 1shoppers’ expectations for Apple products.

  • Improved click-throughs to product detail pages by offering straightforward, product-line navigation.

  • Reinforced perceived value and trust, positioning Fingerhut as a reliable source for premium electronics.

  • Provided a scalable template for future brand-specific hubs (e.g., Samsung, Microsoft), supporting strategic retail growth.

 

Men’s & Women’s Fashion

I designed the Men’s and Women’s Fashion landing pages to highlight seasonal apparel, trusted brands, and easy-to-navigate shopping experiences. The goal was to blend style inspiration with product discoverability, ensuring shoppers could quickly find what they wanted while being introduced to new looks.

 

Objectives

  • Boost click-throughs from landing pages to product detail pages.

  • Showcase recognizable brands to build trust (Adidas, Carhartt, Michael Kors).

  • Provide flexible layouts that support seasonal campaigns.

  • Guide shoppers with tools like fit guides and curated shops.

  • Encourage cross-category browsing (clothing, shoes, accessories).

Research & Insights

  • Competitors: Leading retailers use trend storytelling and guided shopping tools to keep customers engaged.

  • Behavior Data: Analytics showed shoppers often dropped off after the hero banner, signaling a need for stronger modules further down the page.

  • Shoppers’ Needs: Customers wanted both inspiration (seasonal looks, curated shops) and confidence cues (fit guides, well-known brands).

  • Opportunity: Combine lifestyle imagery with functional elements (fit guides, brand spotlights) to keep users scrolling and shopping.

Results & Impact

  • +18% CTR from landing pages to product detail pages.

  • -14% bounce rate after redesign, keeping shoppers engaged longer.

  • +11% increase in time on page, with stronger interaction on fit guide and curated shop modules.

  • Cross-sell lift: Accessories and footwear modules drove a 7% increase in attach rates.

  • Clearer brand spotlights built trust and reinforced customer loyalty.
