Case study

Homestore Seeing the price of every variant

In home equipment, one product exists in six versions that do not cost the same. We built the store where you see the variant and its price without opening six pages.

The context

Homestore sells home equipment online.

This trade has a difficulty all of its own: almost nothing sells in a single version. The same piece of furniture comes in three finishes, the same covering in six colourways, and the prices do not follow — the expensive variant is not always the one you would expect.

On most stores, the buyer discovers this one page at a time. They open the reference, pick a colour, note the price, go back, start again. By the third round trip they have stopped comparing: they take what is in front of them, or they leave.

What we produced

A bespoke online store, built around comparison.

The variant’s price, on hover

Every product is presented with high-quality images and a clear list of the available variants. Hovering over a product shows the price of each version instantly.

It is a tiny gesture, and it changes the nature of the visit. Comparing stops being an exercise in memory — the buyer sees the gap instead of reconstructing it.

Categories, filters and search were reworked to keep the journey short. In home equipment the visitor rarely arrives at random: they have a room, a constraint and a budget. The site’s job is to take them to what matches, not to walk them through the catalogue.

Customisation, price included

For configurable products, the options are available with a real-time price update. The same principle as for the variants: nothing gets decided on an estimate.

Product pages complete enough to decide on

Detailed description, specifications, customer reviews: every page carries enough to settle the question without looking elsewhere. A buyer who has to open another tab for reassurance often opens a competitor’s.

What it changes

The site does not try to hold the visitor: it tries to help them decide quickly. That is a less flattering goal than “engagement”, and a far more useful one in home equipment — where hesitation does not turn into consideration, it turns into abandonment.

What Homestore gained is not a better-looking catalogue. It is a catalogue that can be compared.
