Tess & Co Jewelers is a luxury jewelry retailer with a growing online presence. As the dedicated website manager and UX designer, I oversee all aspects of the storefront: from product presentation and navigation to content updates, checkout optimization, and performance monitoring. The goal is a seamless, premium experience that converts browsers into buyers and keeps them coming back.

Selling Luxury Online

Luxury jewelry purchases are deeply considered decisions. Customers want to feel confidence and desire through the screen, but poorly optimized product pages, slow load times, and clunky navigation can shatter that experience instantly.

The ongoing challenge is maintaining a storefront that feels as premium as the product: fast, visually elegant, and easy to navigate, while continuously improving based on analytics and user behavior data.

  • Product page UX and high-quality visual presentation
  • Checkout flow optimization to reduce cart abandonment
  • SEO improvements for organic discovery
  • Mobile-first shopping experience
  • Content strategy for new collections and promotions
