Project Overview

A New Menu Navigation for Naturepedic's Shopify Migration

Problems

Problems:
- Navigation was organized by audience rather than shopping intent, making products difficult to find.
- Bedding shoppers could not easily browse by material, collection, or individual items.

- Limited merchandising opportunities for new, best-selling, and featured products.
- Customers struggled to understand differences between mattress models.

Solution

Research:
