PoolandHotTubDepot BigCommerce Website Redesign and SEO

Pool and Hot Tub Supplies | Launched 02/11/22

Pool and HotTub Depot has been in their industry for well over a decade and have been Canada’s leading online retailer for the industry since 2017! When you are the industry leader in anything there should be a sense of authority and specialization when consumers view your company. The old version of the Pool and HotTub Depot website did not present itself as an industry leader. While functional and designed well (navigation, layout, offerings) there was little to no branding or style to help consumers feel better about who they were purchasing from. Nothing about the previous site felt like an industry leader, which led Pool and HotTub Depot to approach MAK looking to conduct a BigCommerce redesign of their site to help fulfill online business needs.

Redesign

Here at MAK Digital we specialize in BigCommerce development and as a custom design agency tasked with creating exceptional eCommerce designs, we know exactly how to elevate Pool and HotTub Depot’s eCommerce store through our comprehensive redesign process. One of the first noticeable improvements is how the ‘Current Offers’ section is now presented in a more engaging and visually appealing way for visitors.

The old website suffered from excessive white space, which appeared unpolished and unprofessional. We addressed this by enhancing content visibility and improving the site’s structure. For instance, homepage articles previously featured only a title and image. By adding a brief description and a “Read More” button, we created a more intuitive browsing and user experience that encourages deeper engagement, leading to higher retention and conversion rates.

Additionally, we optimized search results to ensure customers can easily find the products they’re looking for, enhancing usability and overall site performance. Minor modifications, such as refining category filters and improving navigation elements, further contribute to a seamless shopping experience.

On product pages, we implemented small yet impactful trust-building elements, such as icons highlighting the company’s shipping policies and secure purchasing features. These subtle but effective details help reinforce customer confidence—setting a great website apart from a mediocre one.
