ABOUT THIS PROJECT

In just one week, we delivered a comprehensive UX audit for Behno, uncovering hidden friction across product discovery, decision-making, and mobile interactions. While the brand’s visuals reflected luxury, the experience lacked trust signals and purchase clarity. By addressing confidence gaps and optimizing the conversion funnel, we increased conversions by 80%, reduced cart abandonment, and significantly improved overall engagement metrics.

The Challenge

Behno is a D2C luxury leather handbag brand. Their website looked every bit the luxury label it was—premium photography, elegant typography, the kind of site that whispers sophistication.

But it had a problem no one could see: a 0.20% conversion rate.

For context, luxury handbags typically convert at 0.30-0.50%. Behno was underperforming even that low benchmark. Users were arriving, admiring, and leaving—without buying.

What We Found

Our UX audit identified 20+ critical issues across the user journey. Three findings stood out the most:
Mobile Experience Felt Unresponsive On mobile devices

This reduced trust in the overall experience.

Taps had no visual feedback

Navigation felt unclear

Interactions felt slow and unpolished

New Users Almost Never Converted

Out of 39 purchases analyzed, 38 came from returning users. First-time visitors weren't confident enough to buy, which created a ceiling on growth. The site was surviving on repeat customers—but struggling to acquire new ones.

Product Pages Didn’t Help Users Decide

The product detail pages looked premium but lacked the elements that build purchase confidence:

No visible reviews or social proof

Shipping, return, and authenticity info unclear or missing

No urgency or scarcity signals

Our Approach

We delivered a comprehensive UX audit in one week—analyzing the complete purchase journey to identify exactly where and why users were dropping off.
