Before
After
If we make the mobile navigation easier to tap (larger targets, clearer spacing), then add-to-cart and overall conversion rates will increase because users can reach product detail pages faster with less friction.
What We Changed
- Increased tap area.
- Added background to the categories.
- Removed login and account buttons to reduce distractions.
- Enlarged the navigation drawer.

We dig through every data source to map what's actually broken. By the end, there's no confusion.
