Challenges

Canales Furniture, a retailer with a significant physical presence across 21 locations (growing to 23 during our website development), was struggling with a very outdated, clunky, and disjointed Shopify website. This dated online experience hindered brand awareness and limited the generation of quality leads.  The shopping experience was difficult to navigate, product discovery was inefficient, and customers had no personalized experience based on their location.

The redesign focused on creating a faster, more intuitive ecommerce platform that better connected online shoppers with nearby showrooms while improving navigation, SEO, and overall conversion opportunities.

Solutions

Web Loft Designs undertook a complete rebuild of Canales Furniture's online presence on a streamlined and user-friendly Shopify platform.  Key improvements included the implementation of intuitive mega menus, drastically enhancing website usability and allowing customers to easily navigate their extensive product categories.

To tailor specific aspects of the shopping experience to their geographically diverse customer base, we implemented a IP address detection and location strategy. This allowed us to enhance Product Detail Pages (PDPs) to dynamically display relevant showroom visit options and shipping/delivery scheduling based on the user's detected physical address. 

Furthermore, we began working on SEO strategies even while the old website was live and achieved outstanding results even before the new site launch.

Results

Even while optimizing Canales Furniture's outdated and poorly functioning website, our initial SEO efforts delivered a significant increase of approximately $170,000+ in online sales before the new website even launched. This early and substantial revenue growth underscores the immediate impact and effectiveness of our SEO strategies.

With the launch of the new, user-centric Shopify website, now equipped to handle 23 locations through IP detection and offering greatly enhanced PDPs with location-aware options and intuitive mega menus – we anticipate even more substantial improvements in online visibility, lead generation, and sales conversions.

The improved usability and design of the new site along with our ongoing SEO work across all 23 locations, are expected to lead to even better online visibility, more customers, and increased sales, building on the success we already achieved.

Question: Why was Shopify retained for this project?

Answer: Canales Furniture was already operating on Shopify, so there was no need to migrate to another platform. Instead, we focused on improving the customer experience, simplifying navigation, optimizing the shopping journey, and implementing features that better supported the company's growing network of retail locations.

Question: How was the shopping experience improved?

Answer: We completely reorganized the website around how customers shop for furniture. A streamlined mega menu, improved product categorization, enhanced search and filtering, and simplified navigation allow visitors to browse collections, compare products, and find what they need much more quickly.

Question: How does the website support multiple showroom locations?

Answer: The website uses IP-based location detection to personalize the shopping experience. Customers can automatically see the nearest showroom, available delivery and pickup options, and inventory information relevant to their location, creating a more seamless experience across all retail markets.

Question: What SEO improvements were included?

Answer: The redesign included technical SEO improvements, optimized site architecture, mobile optimization, improved internal navigation, and better product organization. These enhancements strengthened search visibility and supported future content and category expansion.
