A soft, breathable, conversion-first redesign for a modern home and living brand.

The redesigned Silvon homepage on a cream background: a desktop hero for the bath collection with a towel-wrapped model, and the same hero on a phone.

The challenge

Silvon Home sells antimicrobial bedding made with natural silver: premium, science-backed and dermatologist-recommended.

But their old website did not feel premium, did not tell the story, and definitely did not sell the experience. So I redesigned their entire D2C website to match the brand personality (clean, calm and quietly luxurious) while also fixing the UX and conversion issues hiding underneath.

What was wrong with the old homepage

  • Weak storytelling. Product first, value second. No narrative.
  • Low perceived premium value. The design did not match the product quality.
  • Overcrowded layout. Too many mixed messages and no visual hierarchy.
  • Trust markers buried. Science, reviews and before/after results were not highlighted.
  • No guided shopping flow. Users did not know where to start or why Silvon is different.

Design direction

Silvon feels like a Sunday morning brand. Soft, warm, calm, but not sleepy. Editorial, but still practical.

So the direction leaned towards

  • Muted neutrals to reflect calmness
  • Minimal typography that lets photography breathe
  • Generous whitespace to evoke softness
  • Lifestyle imagery instead of sterile product placement
  • Modular grids that can scale easily across product launches

The client wanted the experience to feel like walking into a cozy boutique: soothing, trustworthy and premium.

Before and after

A quick scroll tells the story.

  • The old homepage felt product-heavy but emotionally light.
  • The visuals did not match the softness and science the brand is built on.
  • Most importantly, there was no clear story guiding a new user from trust, to interest, to purchase.

My redesign focused on flow, clarity, breathing space and trust cues that make a shopper feel: "Okay, this brand gets me, and this looks worth paying for."

Before

The old Silvon homepage, full length: a split hero with a lifestyle photo, a row of press logos, product grids, a customer quote and the footer.

After

The redesigned Silvon homepage, full length: a full-bleed bath collection hero with a Trustpilot badge, "Why Silvon?", bestsellers, before and after skin photos, customer reviews, bundles and an Instagram gallery.

Homepage and product page

Mobile designs

Below are the mobile designs for the homepage and the product description page.

Mobile homepage, top: the announcement bar, the bath collection hero with a Shop Bundles sticker, the "As featured in" logo row and the start of a before and after skin comparison.
Mobile homepage: the before and after skin comparison, the "Clearer skin. Science says." block with three supporting points, and the Our Bestsellers carousel.
Mobile homepage: the "Some of our customers" section with before and after skin photos, star ratings and short review quotes.
Mobile homepage: a "1000+ reviews" block and the Our Bestselling Bundles section with the Luxe Silk Slumber Set and the Bed and Bath Bundle.
Mobile homepage: hero, science, customer results and bundles.
Mobile product page, top: the Pillowcase title, star rating and price, the image gallery, the product description, and size and colour options.
Mobile product page: the Add to bag bar, feature accordions, trust badges for free shipping, free returns and a 30 night trial, and a "Save on Silvon Sets" suggestion.
Mobile product page: the "Woven with natural silver" and "Natural science" blocks with product photography.
Mobile product page: the "Our story is your story" video block and the Customer Reviews summary, 4.8 out of 5 based on 5,017 reviews, with a rating breakdown.
Mobile product page: gallery, features, materials and reviews.

Final takeaway

Premium D2C brands win through emotion and trust.

The redesigned Silvon homepage is built on both: a calm, soft visual story supported by science-backed proof.
