UI/UX Case Study: E-Commerce Product Page for a Camera Store

🎯 Project Overview

This project involved designing a product detail page for an e-commerce platform specializing in cameras and photography gear. The goal was to create a user-friendly, conversion-driven interface that provides all essential product information while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

👥 Target Audience

• Amateur and professional photographers

• Tech-savvy consumers looking for high-end camera equipment

• Users comparing features, reviews, and warranties before purchase

🧩 Problem Statement

Many e-commerce product pages overwhelm users with cluttered layouts or underemphasize important purchase drivers like reviews, shipping info, or product imagery. The challenge was to present all critical purchase details in a visually balanced, developer-friendly, and mobile-responsive layout.

✅ Goals

• Prioritize key decision-making information: product visuals, pricing, ratings, and warranties

• Create a visually engaging and conversion-optimized layout

• Ensure clarity, trust, and accessibility throughout the page

• Design components that scale across devices with minimal developer friction

🛠️ Design Process

1. Wireframing & Structure Planning

• Defined a clean hierarchy: Image → Info → Description → Reviews → Additional Info

• Ensured thumb-friendly layouts for mobile, using responsive grids

2. UI Design Decisions

• Color Palette: Neutral greys with a pop of red for CTAs (consistent with tech/retail aesthetics)

• Typography: Clean sans-serif fonts for readability and modernity

• Imagery: Used high-quality placeholders to simulate real camera photos

• CTAs: “Add to Cart” and “Subscribe” buttons are bold and placed where user attention peaks

3. UX Enhancements

• Hover-zoom effect on main product image for engagement

• Thumbnail carousel for additional views

• Collapsible review section to avoid scroll fatigue

• Tabbed/accordion layout for warranty & shipping info to save vertical space

• Email subscription field both mid-page and in footer to increase opt-ins
