Overview
A high-growth fashion e-commerce brand approached TechnoRhythms with a clear challenge:
traffic was growing, but conversions were not.
Despite spending aggressively on performance marketing, the brand faced declining ROI,
rising acquisition costs, and inconsistent revenue.
Their digital experience wasn’t aligned with evolving user expectations across mobile and desktop.
The objective was simple:
- Increase conversions without increasing ad spend
- Create a friction-free checkout experience
- Build a data-driven foundation for continuous optimization
Business Challenges
Our diagnostic revealed several critical bottlenecks:
1. Fragmented Checkout Journey
- The 5-step checkout created unnecessary cognitive load
- Users dropped off between login → shipping → payment
2. Poor Mobile Experience
- 70% of traffic was mobile, but mobile conversions lagged significantly
- Slow UI components, low-contrast CTAs, and hidden key actions
3. No Behavioral Intelligence
- No heatmaps, scroll-depth, or click-pattern insights
- No visibility into why users dropped off
4. Weak Product Recommendation Logic
- Generic suggestions did not support revenue growth
- No personalized or dynamic recommendations
5. Absence of a CRO Framework
- No structured experimentation
- UI decisions were opinion-based, not data-driven
Our Diagnostic Approach (Design Thinking + Data)
The team conducted an in-depth Behavioral UX Audit using both Design Thinking and data analytics:
- Empathize: Real user behavior analysis through heatmaps, scroll maps, and recordings
- Define: Identified the top 5 friction points affecting conversions
- Ideate: Created multiple hypotheses and alternative user flows
- Prototype: Built quick UI mockups and checkout variations
- Test: A/B tested each improvement across 4–6 weeks
This process allowed us to validate decisions before scaling improvements across the full site.
