Don't Worry - We Have Your Fix Your Homepage Webinar Recap Right Here!
If you missed our June 24th webinar, we’ve got your back.
We teamed up with Rebuy’s Reza Zohouri and messaging strategist Jessica Malnik to unpack the most common homepage mistakes. And probably more importantly, how to fix them without needing a full redesign!
High Level Overview
The homepage can be one of the most common trouble spots for eCommerce brands.
And if you're on Shopify or Shopify Plus, this applies to you more than ever. Why? Because Shopify gives brands a ton of flexibility, but that also means it’s easy to overcomplicate or under-optimize the homepage experience. Whether you’re using Shopify 2.0’s sections or diving into custom templates, a homepage that doesn’t guide your visitors clearly can seriously hurt conversions.
In the session, we broke down:
Real homepage examples with missed opportunities in layout, messaging, and personalization
UX quick wins you can implement without needing a full redesign
Messaging rewrites that speak to your customer’s real needs, not just brand buzzwords
Shopify-specific personalization ideas (thanks to Rebuy) that turn browsers into buyers
Many of the merchants we work with on Shopify or BigCommerce come to us with beautiful sites that just don’t convert. The homepage is often the first (and sometimes last) chance you have to get a user deeper into your funnel. Getting this right is huge!

Messaging Mistakes that Make Visitors Bounce
Jessica Malnik focused on the homepage copy—and how often brands get it wrong.
Common mistakes she sees:
Vague, generic headlines
No clear value proposition
Messaging focused on the brand, not the customer
Confusing or overwhelming navigation
Jessica introduced the concept of a “messaging wedge”—a single idea or positioning statement that differentiates your brand and should be obvious the moment someone lands on your site.
“If I could copy-paste your homepage headline onto your competitor’s site and it still works, it’s too generic.”
What’s Really Broken on Most Homepages
Mark Lewis, Netalico’s founder, dives into the usual suspects:
Sluggish load times
Confusing layouts and cluttered design
Weak navigation and lack of trust signals
No clear ownership of UX/CRO
His main takeaway? Most homepages don’t fail because of bad intentions—they fail because brands outgrow them and stop testing what actually works.
UX Design Quick Wins
Treat the homepage like a front door, not a brochure
Show products and CTAs above the fold
Avoid auto-rotating carousels
Build for mobile first, but don’t ignore desktop
Use consistent visuals and trust indicators like reviews and badges

Personalization That Actually Converts
Reza Zohouri from Rebuy took the mic to talk through smart homepage personalization tactics. His key advice? Make your homepage smarter—not busier.
Examples that work:
Tubby Todd : A/B tested their homepage layout to serve different versions to new vs. returning visitors
Planet Beauty : Uses personalized carousels like “Top Picks for You” that change based on login status and shopping behavior
Quick Wins from Reza:
Use “Buy it Again” blocks for returning users
Highlight bestsellers and bundles for first-timers
Use intent signals to adjust content on the fly
