Who It Is For/Who It Is Not For –
This case study is for any e-commerce store owner looking to:
- Boost conversions and sales on their Shopify store
- Improve user experience for a wider audience
- Unlock the potential of their online store with a strategic redesign
This might not be the best fit for businesses who:
- Think that their current conversion rates are good enough
- Don't have the budget for a website redesign
Backstory –
MapHabit is a company that enhances the well-being and quality of life for individuals needing cognitive support and their care partners. They recognized the potential of expanding their reach and impact through a direct-to-consumer (DTC) online store, so Step Labs was brought on board to help them navigate this exciting transition.
They already had a website, but that website lacked the e-commerce part entirely, so they needed a fast and reliable solution that would not only showcase their product beautifully but also provide a seamless, user-centric experience for online purchases.
Process (What/Why/How) –
Understanding The Company Goals:
We began with in-depth research.
Through surveys and interviews with key MapHabit members, we gained valuable insights into the challenges faced by both individuals needing cognitive support and their care partners when shopping online.
Clarity of product information, ease of navigation, and accessibility features were all identified as key priorities.
Building a User-Centric Design:
Armed with this user-centric approach, we designed all the necessary pages, both e-commerce and non e-commerce pages, for what was going to be the MapHabit custom Shopify store.
The focus was on creating a clear and accessible interface that covered everything:
- Use cases for their products
- Explanatory information for their products
- Direct-to-consumer (DTC) solutions
- Business-to-business (B2B) solutions
- Company and team information
- Blogs, case studies, and press releases
High-quality product images were paired with simple yet detailed descriptions that emphasized benefits for both users and caregivers.
The navigation was streamlined, allowing visitors to find the products they needed quickly and intuitively.
Optimizing for Conversions:
We designed the website to drive conversions by incorporating clear calls to action, showcasing social proof, highlighting product benefits in our writing, strategically placing products for maximum visibility, and addressing potential concerns through FAQs, all while not taking away from the presentation characteristics that the previous MapHabit site had.
Implementing the Design
Once the high-fidelity design has been finalized, we brought it to life by implementing it into Shopify using its native programming language (Shopify Liquid) to ensure maximum efficiency.
At this stage, we focused on implementing the smooth user experience envisioned at the design stage, all while maintaining a low site load speed.
How did it translate? –
The custom Shopify theme we designed and developed for MapHabit resulted in a website that not only reflected their company culture but also functioned as an all-in-one solution, both as a presentation site showcasing company culture and information, as well as giving access to assisting products for users in need of support.
By creating a user-friendly and accessible DTC platform, Step Labs helped MapHabit not only expand their reach but also empower individuals in need of assistance as well as care partners.
The clear communication and accessibility features within the store make it easier for them to find the right products to support their loved ones. This translates into a positive impact on countless lives.

Your Website Owes You Money - This Is How We Get It Back For You
We start with data
Before we begin working on improving your brand’s website, we must first understand where it’s going wrong.
We look at quantitative and qualitative sources of data to identify leaks in your funnel and then form a hypothesis on how to improve them.
Create a customised revenue growth roadmap
Fail to plan, plan to fail! We believe scaling from multi 6 to multi 7 figures is a simply a process.
But this looks different for everyone. So we create a specialised revenue growth roadmap focussed on 15 key areas of growth opportunity.
We spot problems
We keep an ongoing list of findings from multiple different sources of data. This allows us to interconnect findings and gain deeper insights on your website behaviour and customers.
We A/B Test
Testing allows us to take the guesswork out of growth. Our average win rate is 80%. But even in the losses, we see those as losses-avoided and learn from them.

I just want to say thank you so much for all your hard work, time and effort, website looks great, very happy with it and excited to start scaling and get the brand out to people now.
It was my first time understanding the building of a website with shopify and I didn’t realise the ins and outs of the platform when we started working together, so appreciate your time for all changes on top (I now know for next time).
I wish you guys all the luck with future projects :)

I just have to say that working with you guys was absolutely fantastic! I can honestly say that it was the best experience I’ve ever had working with a developer/agency. Your team made everything crystal-clear, and the entire process was smooth as butter. You truly went above and beyond, explaining everything in detail - which was incredibly helpful. Compared to my past experiences with other agencies, I must say, you guys definitely exceeded my expectations. And kudos to the Loom video! It was super helpful in navigating the changes that were made. Thanks a bunch, and I can’t wait to work with you again!

Step Labs was absolutely amazing to work with! Matthew and his team made the process smooth from start to finish, and I couldn't be happier with the result. They completely nailed what I was looking for, and I am already planning on working with them again for the next project. It's a huge relief for me to have finally found a go-to agency that I can really trust and partner with to develop top tier web projects. I was impressed by the attention to detail, the transparency throughout the project, their professional recommendations to improve things, and the extra steps they took to make this website top notch, and their speedy turnaround. They were truly a treat to work with, I highly recommend Step Labs to anyone in need of their services.

Had a really positive experience working with Step Labs. They went above and beyond to provide customizations to meet my wishlist, shared great insights on how to improve my site speed, and worked incredibly fast. I really appreciated the team working late nights/early mornings to accommodate my PST timezone from the UK - that meant so much! I liked having a slack channel with them for ease of communication and felt like they have a great grasp on site development/design. would definitely recommend!

Working with Step Labs was a very smooth process. Their team helped us to better define our place amogst our competitors with some great workshops.
These not only helped our perception of our website, but also our plans for the future of our brand. Beyond that, when it came to design and development, the team excelled.
They were very thorough throughout the design stage and extraordinarily quick to get development underway and finished.
We now have a beautiful website that not only looks good but is also strong in user experience and conversions.

From beginning to end Step Labs not only grasped the vision and projection of Checkmates but helped create a product that encapsulated the story behind the brand too.
I wanted to work with a team who listened to our ideas and took them to the next level. Step labs did not disappoint, creating designs that went above and beyond all expectations. Matthew and his team became involved in many different areas within our startup including; UI and UX design, website design, pitch deck formatting and strategy.
All of which was done on deadline to the highest of standards. I couldn’t recommend Matthew and his team at Step Labs enough.

Having worked with Step Labs on several occasions, one thing becomes overwhelmingly clear: they have boundless desire and will to help clients achieve their absolute best, and the results they achieve can truly help a nascent company, startup, or platform in delivering what is needed.
Their work rate is incomparable and you really will be getting a service that will outcompete any potential alternatives.

Matt and the Step Labs team are extremely talented and understand all the UX and UI principles to design a high-quality website that looks amazing and flows to ensure the best user experience.
