Genshin Impact Shopify design boosts sales quickly.

In a world where fandom meets commerce, designing a Shopify homepage for a brand as beloved and dynamic as Genshin Impact is both a challenge and an opportunity. This homepage redesign project showcases how we blended fandom emotion with conversion-driven UX/UI strategies to help our client establish a top-performing Genshin-themed online store.

Our objective was clear: design a homepage that emotionally resonates with Genshin fans while increasing product visibility, engagement, and ultimately—sales. Through character-based visuals, gamified UI, and category-rich structure, every pixel was crafted to drive loyalty and action.

Visual Strategy Behind the Homepage Design

First Screen Banner Design — Instant Emotional Hook

We opened the homepage with an irresistibly cute, character-rich banner that features a variety of plushies styled in pastel backgrounds. The visual strategy here was to immediately evoke joy and nostalgia, urging users to scroll further. The curved border, scalloped edges, and paw icons reinforce a cozy, fan-centric vibe.

Design Intent:

• Highlight bestselling plush categories.
• Use soft purple gradients to invoke trust and fantasy.
• Center text with bold serif fonts to reflect warmth.

Icon-Based Navigation — Fast, Fun Exploration

To create an intuitive path for discovery, we implemented a row of illustrated icons, each representing a core category. These clickable elements are minimal yet playful, inviting exploration without overwhelming the user.

Design Intent:

• Mobile-first touch zones.
• Visual shorthand for quick scanning.
• Unified icon style to maintain design harmony.

Trending Merch Sections — Character Spotlight for Engagement

We placed trending character-themed collections near the top to increase fan engagement. These blocks have asymmetrical layouts and bright contrast zones that instantly draw attention.

Design Intent:

• Encourage micro-fandom discovery.
• Merge cosplay and lifestyle in a seamless narrative.
• Overlay subtle hover effects to add interactivity.

Product Section Breakdown: Maximizing Conversions

Multi-Tab Product Carousel — Easy Browsing Experience

Our carousel features tabs that allow users to jump between categories without leaving the homepage. This reduces friction and boosts session duration.

Design Intent:

• Reduce bounce rate by enhancing browsing logic.
• Present both high-ticket items and collectibles equally.
• Feature pricing and sales to trigger decision-making.

New Product Highlights — Keeping the Store Fresh

This section is filled with rich visuals of new arrivals. We intentionally used dynamic tags such as “New” and “Sale” for urgency, and “Sold Out” to amplify popularity.

Design Intent:

• Update frequently to encourage return visits.
• Boost sales through limited-edition visuals.
• Enhance SEO with dynamic product names.

Visual Anchors for Seasonal Sales and Promotions

Positioned below the main listings, these graphics create emotional resonance through characters and props. They act as visual CTAs leading to themed sales pages.

Design Intent:

• Reinforce thematic segmentation.
• Use character-specific color schemes.
• Create an engaging visual rhythm for scrollers.

Merchandising Psychology — Blending UX with Fandom

Category Grids with Price Anchors

We arranged product types into grid-based modules for clean visibility and price comparison. Strategic use of whitespace makes each item more digestible.

Design Intent:

• Enable quick product differentiation.
• Support upselling through layout consistency.
• Use thumbnail contrast for hover triggers.

Blog Section — Fan Engagement Beyond Products

Blog content plays a dual role: boosting SEO and enriching fan culture. Each card is branded with in-game artwork and high-impact headlines.

Design Intent:

• Offer editorial value to drive brand trust.
• Integrate community topics to deepen loyalty.
• Allow fan education while supporting merch relevance.

Checkout Trust and Payment Simplicity

Global Payment Icons

At the footer, we reinforce transactional confidence with universal payment options. The section is crisp and recognizable.

Design Intent:

• Reduce cart abandonment anxiety.
• Visually simplify global shopping.
• Connect commerce with trust.
