In particular, the redesign focused on three key areas: the aesthetics of the website, functionality and optimization for better performance and greater traffic.

1. User Experience (UX) Design Strategy and Restructuring

Initial analysis of our existing eShop showed that there was room for significant improvement in the user experience. The new design focused on creating a pleasant and direct environment for users, which would easily guide them through the shopping process. We applied the latest User-Centered Design (UCD) principles to ensure that the user experience is as friendly and natural as possible.

Our study included:

Reorganization of the menu and navigation to make it simpler and more understandable.
Creating an easy-to-use and functional product page, which includes more visual and functional tabs, filters for searching for products by category, price, popularity and other parameters.
Introducing an easy checkout and payment process to make shopping easier and reduce abandoned purchases.
Integrating an easy-to-use and clean product search platform, allowing users to quickly find exactly what they are looking for.

2. Design and Functionality Responsive Design

The development of the eShop included a fully responsive design, which adapts seamlessly to any type of device: mobile, tablet and desktop. With the majority of users shopping via mobile devices, the new design ensures that the site appears flawlessly and functions correctly on all devices. This allows customers to comfortably navigate the pages and complete their purchases without delays or layout issues.

In particular:

The page design automatically adapts to the screen size without losing aesthetics or functionality.
Product images, buttons, and categories are adjusted to the screen so that users always have easy access to all elements.

3. Upgrade in Visual Appearance and Aesthetics

The new eShop features a more modern and professional look, with a design focused on the needs of the modern user. Its aesthetics were renewed with the use of high-quality images, modern fonts and harmonious colors, to create a pleasant and elegant atmosphere.

Larger, sharper product photos with zoom and high resolution capabilities to highlight product quality and build customer trust.
Using clean and simple fonts for legible text and titles, and adjusting the layout to make it more pleasant to read.
Use of thematic colors that enhance the brand identity and create a beautiful combination between images, texts and overall aesthetic elements.

4. Optimization for SEO and Content

The improvements included:

Optimizing page titles, meta descriptions, and alt tags for images to make them more search engine friendly.
Use best practice URLs that include keywords and are easy to understand.
Introducing an On-Page SEO strategy for product pages to improve titles, descriptions, and keywords.

Fixing Bugs and Broken Plugins

The process of fixing bugs and broken plugins is one of the most important and critical aspects of maintaining and upgrading an eShop, as it ensures the smooth operation of the store and the excellent user experience. In the case of Hair Goals By Anna Vouzouneraki, various technical issues were identified during the initial evaluation of the eShop, which had an impact on the functionality, speed and security of the store.

Our goal was to fix existing issues and improve system stability, eliminating any potential obstacles for users who wanted to make purchases. The remediation process included identifying and fixing bugs that affected the use of the eShop and repairing broken or non-functional plugins that had been integrated into the previous version of the site.

1. Bug Detection

The first and most critical step in the process was a full scan of the eShop to identify all issues that were causing malfunctions. These issues included:

Product display errors: In some cases, products did not display correctly on the pages or had problems with their image or description.
Product search errors: Customers could not find products they had added to the store or there was a delay in displaying search results.
Payment failures: Errors in the payment process were likely to cause purchases to fail to complete, creating frustration for users and preventing them from completing the purchase.
Problems with user contact or registration forms: Users were unable to complete registration forms or contact the business through the contact form.

The process of identifying these errors included using debugging tools, detailed monitoring of website performance, and conducting tests to reproduce the problems.

2. Error Correction and Functionality Restoration

After identifying the bugs, we proceeded to fix them by implementing the appropriate technical solutions. Each problem was addressed separately, and specific fixes were applied for each type of error:

Incorrect product data: Product images and descriptions have been corrected, and the product catalog refresh process has been reevaluated to ensure that all products are displayed correctly.
Price Calculation Errors: The code related to calculating discounts and additional charges has been revised to ensure accurate calculation during order completion.
Search speed improvement: The code related to product search has been improved to ensure faster response and accurate results.
Payment Process Fix: We reviewed and upgraded payment completion through payment systems, such as credit cards and PayPal, ensuring that customers could complete their purchases without delays or failures.

3. Repair Broken Plugins

Several of the plugins used in the previous version of the eShop were not working properly or had old versions that caused incompatibilities with the rest of the system. Plugins are essential for the operation of many core features of the eShop, such as the checkout process, promotions, user reviews, and product management.

The process of fixing broken plugins included:

Upgrade or replace plugins: Where possible, we upgraded plugins to their latest and most stable version. When this was not possible due to incompatibility, we replaced them with new, more compatible and functional plugins.
Corrections to the plugin code: For plugins that had technical problems but were necessary for the operation of the store, we proceeded to modify and correct their code to ensure their smooth operation without conflicts with the rest of the system.
Compatibility Testing: After the upgrades and fixes were made, we conducted extensive testing to ensure that all plugins work properly together, without causing any issues with the site or user experience.

4. Continuous Monitoring and Maintenance

Fixing bugs and fixing broken plugins is an ongoing process that requires monitoring and regular maintenance. For this reason, we have integrated performance and security monitoring tools that allow the eShop support team to detect and fix any new issues that may arise in the future. In addition, we have established regular plugin checks and upgrades to ensure the continued functionality of the site.

Conclusion

The process of fixing bugs and broken plugins for Hair Goals By Anna Vouzouneraki was crucial to restoring the smooth operation of the eShop and ensuring customer satisfaction. By identifying, correcting and upgrading the technical elements of the site, we ensured that customers could browse and complete their purchases without technical issues, providing a reliable, fast and secure experience.

Advanced SEO for Pages and Products

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a critical factor in the success of any eShop. Without the right SEO strategy, it is difficult for customers to find your online store and the products it offers. As part of the eShop upgrade for Hair Goals By Anna Vouzouneraki, we implemented an Advanced SEO strategy that focuses on both pages and products, aiming to enhance the store's visibility in search engines and improve the user experience.

The SEO strategy we implemented included several stages, from detailed keyword research to integrating advanced SEO techniques into the store's pages and products. Below is a detailed description of the key steps we followed to achieve the best possible result.

1. Keyword Research

The foundation of any SEO strategy is the right choice of keywords. With the right research, we can identify the words and phrases that users type into search engines when searching for products and services like those offered by Hair Goals By Anna Vouzouneraki. Keyword research helped us identify the most relevant and popular words for the hairdressing and hair and body care products sector.

This research included:

Broader keywords (e.g., “hair straighteners,” “hair oils”)
Specialized long-tail keywords (e.g., “organic hair care products”)
Competitive keywords used by competitors
Local keywords to enhance the store's local awareness, such as "hair salon Glyfada" or "hair salon with hair products Athens".

2. On-Page SEO Optimization

After keyword research, the next phase involved optimizing the eShop pages to meet search engine requirements. This included applying specific SEO techniques that ensure that each page of the store is properly structured and optimized to appear in the top positions of search results.

The key areas we focused on include:

Page Titles (Title Tags): Create SEO-friendly titles that include keywords for each page. For example, a page with hair products could be titled “Hair Straighteners and Care Products | Hair Goals By Anna Vouzouneraki”.
Meta Descriptions: Optimize meta descriptions for each page, using text that is eye-catching and concise, also including keywords. The description is critical to capturing users' interest in search results.
Internal Linking: Creating strategic links between store pages so that users and search engines can navigate the website more easily.
Image Optimization: Customize images for products and the overall appearance of the eShop, adding alt tags that describe images with keywords to boost SEO performance.

3. Product SEO Optimization

Product optimization is perhaps the most critical area of SEO for an eShop, especially when it comes to hair care and other beauty products.

For Hair Goals By Anna Vouzouneraki products, the following actions were taken:

Product Categories and Tags: We created product categories that are understandable and easy to navigate, and placed tags on products to enhance their visibility in relevant searches.
Ratings and Reviews: We encouraged users to leave reviews and ratings for products. Positive reviews provide a better user experience and improve SEO performance, as search engines consider reviews as an indication of quality and trustworthiness.

4. Technical SEO and Loading Speed

SEO optimization is not limited to content alone. It is equally important to ensure that the technical infrastructure of the eShop is optimized for search engines and for users. Search engines, such as Google, evaluate the loading time and technical performance of the site as ranking factors.

In the case of the Hair Goals By Anna Vouzouneraki eShop, we carried out:

Speed Optimization: We used tools to analyze and improve the site's loading speed, reducing page load time to provide a more pleasant user experience.

Using Schema Markup: We implemented Schema Markup to embed additional data on pages, such as product ratings, prices, and availability, so they appear more prominently in search results.

Conclusion

The Advanced SEO strategy for the Hair Goals By Anna Vouzouneraki eShop seeks to ensure that the store's pages and products are not only visible in search engines, but also user-friendly. Through proper keyword research, content optimization, and technical infrastructure, we were able to enhance visibility and user experience, leading to increased traffic, higher conversion rates, and ultimately better sales results for the online store.

Article writing with SEO

Creating quality and SEO-friendly content (articles) was also part of our strategy. We created articles that highlight the salon's products and services, as well as hair care tips, with the aim of boosting the organic traffic of the eShop and creating a strong content environment around the brand.

Creating Offer Banners and Setting Up Products for Offers

Developing and showcasing offers is critical to increasing sales and attracting new customers. We created eye-catching offer banners to grab customers’ attention and boost sales by offering discounts and special offers. We also set up products to automatically appear in offers, with the ability to easily track and manage them.

Responsive Design

The user experience across devices is very important. The new eShop design is fully responsive, meaning it adapts seamlessly to mobile, tablet and desktop. This ensures that customers have the best possible experience regardless of device and increases the possibility of mobile shopping.

Gift Card Creation

A new feature added to the eShop was the creation of a Gift Cards system, allowing customers to purchase and offer gifts in the form of cards for eShop products. This feature strengthens the customer base and facilitates purchases, allowing for more sales through gifts.

Page Creation for Children's Spa Parties

Building on the experience of the stylish and functional eShop, we have created a special page for children's spa parties.
