UX and/or Conversion Help for Ecommerce
-
Good Morning,
We recently revamped and relaunched our ecommerce website and we believe we have built a great site that is easy to navigate, find what you're looking for, get all details, and purchase.
We were hoping to get some of the Moz community to take a look at the site and let us know if you have any suggestions on usability or conversion techniques that we could implement to improve user experience and amount of orders placed.
You can view our site here
Looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks in advance

Input from the Moz community is great, but input from your own users is even better! I agree that tools like Hotjar or Inspectlet are a good way to measure the user experience. Just watch some recordings of users to get an idea of what they do on the site. This way you get some good understanding about their behavior and where they get stuck/leave.
Alternatively you could do some usability testing with users. Research from Jakob Nielsen shows that in most cases you only need to test with 5 users to find around 75% of the usability problems. With the Retrospective Think Aloud (RTA) method you can set up tasks for users to test and record on your website. Afterwards you can ask the users some questions about their actions, while watching the recording with them. The RTA method is especially useful with eye-tracking, but you can also just use it when recording a screen.
This requires more effort and time than watching recording in Hotjar or Inspectlet, but it will definitely give you some very helpful insights. Here's an helpful article from Tobii about RTA: http://acuity-ets.com/downloads/RTA%20usability%20guidelines%20short%20paper.pdf
One thing I can suggest is to place your most popular/sold product on the first row. So they are always above the page fold and easier for your users to find without scrolling.

Another vote for HotJar. Great for a free tool.
It's always going to be awkward to get critique in any forums but here is some required reading that could help give you some pointers. If nothing else, you will be able to draw comparisons between what you have done and what has worked for others.

I don't have any specific recommendations based on the current design of the site however I do have a tool I want to recommend that could help. I recently came across a neat free tool called hot jar which has built in heatmaps,scroll maps, click maps etc. It even records user sessions so you can see how your shoppers are engaging with your site. I recommend you check it out and see what nuggets you can uncover with it.

When to determine that a change DIDN'T affect conversion rates
Hi everyone, Description of test: We're a lead gen site trying to add more value by providing users with real, live quotes after they submit a lead. However, we don't want showing the quotes to tank our lead conversion rates. So we're running a test where 50% of leads see quote results and 50% don't, and we compare the lead conversion rates for each. The best possible outcome is to show that showing the quotes DIDN'T negatively affect conversion rates. My issue: When do we conclude the test? In the end, we're hoping to see that the change didn't cause a statistically significant difference between the control and version B, which is the opposite of every other test I've ever run. So, at what point do we conclude that the changes in version B didn't have a significant effect on lead conversions? Currently the control is doing 5% better than the variation with a p-value of .379

What happens when i import analytics conversions into adwords if I already have conversions set up?
Hey everyone, I have a question. We already have conversion tracking set up for our landing pages, however Adwords has the option to import goals from anaytics, one of which is for the landing pages. What will happen if I do? Will it erase all the conversion data I already have? Will it mess things up? Or am I not understanding this correctly... Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Advice and recommendations for ecommerce CMS
One of my clients uses oscommerce as the CMS for their ecommerce websites. I think it it quite dated and inflexible for layout and design purposes. We have been looking at Woocommerce plugin with Wordpress as an alternative. Client has the following minimum requirements: 1. Ability to Manually enter and edit existing orders/ 2. Export Orders and Sales Tax Information to QuickBooks etc. 3. Sync inventory with Quickbooks POS. 4. One Page Checkout 5. Ability to either send out directly or through third party integration, a email marketing service to customers. 6. The site needs to be SEO'ed thoroughly so SEO is a top priority. Anyone have any experience with Woocommerce? So far, Woocommerce looks pretty exhaustive, but I am unable to contact WooCommerce for support unless I purchase their theme or extension plugins. Thoughts, advise, recommendations?

Any tips and tricks to increase Conversion Rates on Google PLA?
I have recently organized my Adwords (Product Listing Ads) campaign according to this link: http://certifiedknowledge.org/blog/how-to-create-a-state-of-the-art-pla-campaign While I like the organization and control this provides, my fundamental concern is to increase conversions. I understand conversions are dependent on other factors such as landing pages etc. Are there any Google Adwords tips someone has had success with to increase CTR and increase conversion rates? Pating $10/day to Google Adwords while only getting a sporadic business every 3 days is getting a bit frustrating. Are there any tools in MOZ that can help find faults and generate simple reports on the Google Adwords campaign? Any help is much appreciated.

Conversion Rate boost - Website Feedback
We are a relatively young company with an Okay conversion rate of around 2% across several different sales channels. I am mentioning this because our website with the same type of products has a very low conversion rate of under 1%. I know this is a deep topic, involving different analytic metrics, but would like to ask MOZ community members if there's anything obvious that needs improvement on this website www.cherrywalls.com that would help to increase conversions. I will be happy to answer any additional questions or to clarify things! Thank you for your time! Any suggestions and/or critique are greatly appreciated!
