Website Audit

CriterionScoreFinding
Design & Visual Quality 5 Default Shopify-style storefront with category nav and product grids — leans on platform defaults rather than the editorial-curation feel that 18+ designer brands deserves.
Mobile Responsiveness 6 Shopify responsive defaults work; touch targets sized adequately, hamburger nav on small screens.
Page Speed (estimated) 5 Multi-brand product pages with full-bleed banners — typical Shopify LCP 3–5s without manual asset work.
CTA Clarity 6 Standard Add-to-cart on PDPs; no homepage drop-alert capture or stylist-pick CTA.
SEO & Discoverability 5 Brand-name SEO across 18 designers but on-page meta leans Shopify-default; no editorial collection content.

E-Commerce
Functional Shopify storefront
RM-priced checkout, KL delivery, single-currency setup; 18+ designer brands plus own picks under CommonThreads Sdn Bhd (201901014492).
