I really liked ConversionWise's redesign of the product page for Lucinn, and I think it would work particularly well with our own Shoptimizer theme.
In fact almost the entire page could be recreated quite easily. But some unique aspects of the design which are worth noting include:
- Excellent messaging within the gallery images. By using key data points in the initial image, e.g. "93% saw less hair shedding" and "60 days money back guarantee" they are providing strong reassurance.
- The "Featured in" block below the gallery highlights well known media outlets which have featured the brand.
- UGC videos provide testimonials from real users.
- In the dark bar under the main hero area, four key USPs are reinforced before the long product description.
You may also notice that on the mobile screenshot, the "Featured in" and "UGC videos" blocks are hidden in order to ensure that the key product details are as far up the page as possible on smaller screens.

ThemeSwitcher Pro is a WordPress plugin developed by WebDevStudios that allows website owners to run multiple themes on the same site.
It is designed to make transitioning to a more modern theme easier without disrupting existing content.
With this plugin, site owners can gradually phase out older themes, and migrate to a new theme at their own pace.
It supports all major themes and page builders, including Elementor, while offering developer-friendly options like custom conditionals and repo integration.
Its flexibility allows for scenarios such as using different themes for different parts of a website, ensuring a seamless transition without forcing an immediate redesign.

This interesting article explains when to use percentage-based discounts versus fixed-amount discounts to maximize sales and profitability.
Research analyzing over 70,000 online grocery orders showed that store-wide discounts framed as percentages are more effective, driving 42% higher spending, bigger basket sizes, and greater profits even though customers actually saved less money.
On the other hand, fixed-amount discounts work better when applied to a specific product or brand, as they are easier for customers to calculate and feel more concrete.
The psychology behind this is that percentage discounts on store-wide sales give shoppers a sense of flexibility and greater potential savings, since the more they spend, the more they believe they save.
