Shopify Store Redesign: How an Apparel
Brand Achieved Better UX Through Custom Navigation

wild-tiger-boutique-case-study-banner-image
Wild Tiger Boutique came to us with a clear goal: they wanted their Shopify store to grow with their brand. As their audience expanded from adults to a new youth line, their existing store structure started to feel limiting.
Through Shopify Store Redesigning, we built custom functionality that went beyond standard themes and apps, helping them create a scalable, easy-to-use shopping experience for both audiences.

Client Background

Wild Tiger Boutique is a school-pride-driven apparel boutique based in Northeast Missouri. Founded in October 2023, the brand was built with one clear purpose: bringing communities together through stylish, game-day-ready fashion.
Their product range includes:
  • School spirit apparel, such as Culver-Stockton gear
  • Trend-led collections like the Golf Girly Collection
  • Hats, accessories, and jewelry to complete every outfit
Beyond products, what truly sets them apart is their strong community focus. They actively connect with local fans, families, and supporters, making shopping feel personal rather than transactional.

The Core Problem

As Wild Tiger Boutique continued to grow, it ran into a common challenge faced by many Shopify store owners.

The problem was simple but important. Shopify themes and apps could not fully support this idea without limitations.
Using plugins would have led to workarounds, cluttered navigation, and long-term scalability issues.
They needed custom functionality, not just visual changes.

Our Approach: Custom Features & Scalability

This project followed our Custom Features & Scalability approach.
Instead of adjusting the business to fit Shopify’s limitations, we designed Shopify to fit the business. That is where Shopify Store Redesigning truly adds value.

This allowed the store to stay flexible, clean, and scalable.

Solution Implementation (What We Actually Built)

Here is how we turned the idea into a working Shopify experience.

1. Dual-Audience Homepage Structure

We created a custom homepage layout with two clearly defined tabs:
  • Children’s Collection
  • Older Customers Collection

This ensures that from the very first interaction, visitors know exactly where to go. Instead of scrolling through mixed products, customers make a simple choice and instantly see products that are relevant to them.
This reduced confusion and made the browsing experience feel intentional and organized.

2. Custom Header and Navigation Redesign

We redesigned the header and menu structure so the two audience tabs are always visible.
This included:
  • Clear placement of tabs in the header
  • Easy access on both desktop and mobile
  • A navigation flow that guides users instead of overwhelming them
Customers no longer need to guess where youth or adult products live.

3. Segmented Shopping Experience

Once a shopper selects a tab, the entire browsing experience is segmented.
Parents or children can explore children’s collections directly, while older shoppers browse collections designed for them.
This separation helps shoppers stay focused, reduces bounce rates, and improves overall engagement because users are not distracted by irrelevant products.

4. Product Presentation Improvements

We refined how products appear under each segment by:

  • Improving image consistency for a cleaner look
  • Adding short, clear category descriptions
  • Simplifying product filters to reduce friction
These changes help customers understand what they are browsing and make product discovery faster and easier.

5. Homepage Banners and Visual Hierarchy

We updated homepage banners and section placements to reflect both audiences clearly.

  • The children-focused homepage was styled to evoke a sense of fun, energy, and playfulness.
  • Homepages for older customers were designed to feel more refined, clean, and polished.
This visual clarity strengthens brand connection and improves first impressions.

6. Mobile Experience Optimization

Since a large percentage of shoppers browse on mobile, we made sure:
  • Tabs are easy to tap and switch
  • Spacing prevents accidental clicks
  • Images load quickly without quality loss
This ensures a smooth experience across all screen sizes.

7. CRO and User Flow Enhancements

As part of the Shopify Store Redesigning process, we reviewed conversion-focused elements such as:
  • CTA placement
  • Product visibility above the fold
  • Scroll flow and section order
Small layout and spacing changes were made to gently guide users toward checkout without being pushy.

8. Cross-Device and Browser Testing

Before launch, we tested the entire setup across:
  • Desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
desktop-tablet-and-mobile-layout
  • Multiple browsers
This ensured the custom dual-tab experience worked consistently for all users.

Impact of the Redesign

The redesigned store delivered meaningful improvements in both usability and scalability.
  • Customers can instantly find the right products
  • Navigation feels simple and uncluttered
  • Product discovery is faster and more focused
  • The store is now structured to support future growth
  • The brand no longer depends on apps for core functionality
Overall, the store now feels more professional, easier to shop in, and ready to scale.
