From Trails to Transactions: Redesigning Goodwynns' Shopify Store for Outdoor Lovers

Goodwynns is a mountain general store located on Mt. Hood, Oregon, offering a curated selection of ski, snowboard, bike, and fishing equipment, alongside gifts, local food, and beverages. Rooted in the outdoor culture and built on a legacy of serving adventurers, Goodwynns also acts as a community hub for outdoor enthusiasts. However, their previous website struggled with an outdated design that didn’t reflect their vibrant brand or meet the growing needs of their customers.
Partnering with Arctic Grey, Goodwynns set out to revamp their online presence by introducing a membership program, developing location-based landing pages, and creating a sleek, user-friendly e-commerce platform. The redesigned website seamlessly integrates with their Lightspeed POS system, supports their unique pricing model, and enables an affiliate program, all designed to deliver a streamlined and engaging shopping experience for their customers.

The Challenge
The challenges faced by Goodwynns were multi-faceted, requiring a comprehensive approach to resolve. They struggled with connection issues between their rental platform, POS system, and inventory management, leading to inefficiencies and operational bottlenecks. Additionally, integrating a membership program with custom pricing posed significant hurdles, as it was crucial to ensure these prices were not overridden by their existing systems. Their diverse product catalog further complicated matters, with items designated for pick-up, membership exclusivity, or rental-only use, making it essential to create clear distinctions while maintaining a seamless shopping experience.
The Solution
Our partnership with Goodwynns commenced with an understanding of their unique needs and goals. In optimizing their site and overall customer experience, we achieved the following milestones:
User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) Improvements: Redesigned the site with intuitive layouts, optimized navigation, and user-friendly designs to create a seamless and visually appealing experience for customers.
Membership Integration: Implemented a membership program to foster customer loyalty, enhance retention, and offer personalized benefits, adding value to the shopping experience.
Dynamic Product Detail Pages (PDPs): Designed flexible PDP templates that vary based on product categories, ensuring each page highlights unique features while maintaining brand consistency.
Integration with Bike Rental Manager: Connected Goodwynns’ website with their Bike Rental Manager system, streamlining operations and creating a frictionless experience for customers renting bikes.
Mega Menu Navigation: Developed a mega menu structure for improved site navigation, making it easier for customers to explore products and access key information quickly.
Location-Based Landing Pages: Created tailored landing pages that cater to specific locations, ensuring customers receive relevant and localized content for an enhanced shopping experience.

Categories, content, landing pages, and products were made fully customizable for placement within the navigation. This dynamic setup allowed for the seamless inclusion of seasonal categories, product types, and concerns, each with intuitive subcategories. Featured products and links could be easily updated to reflect the latest priorities, ensuring relevance and engagement.
Optimized UX: Our work with Goodwynns resulted in a seamless and cohesive user experience (UX) tailored to outdoor enthusiasts. By refining navigation, enhancing mobile and desktop designs, and implementing consistent templates for category and product detail pages, we streamlined the shopping journey while maintaining a rugged yet premium aesthetic. This unified UX not only improved customer satisfaction but also boosted engagement and conversion rates by eliminating friction points and providing a clear, intuitive path from product discovery to checkout. The transformation reinforced Goodwynns’ reputation as a trusted destination for high-quality outdoor gear, ensuring their online presence reflects the durability and performance their products are known for.
Membership Program Implementation: We introduced a robust membership program for Goodwynns, providing outdoor enthusiasts with exclusive benefits tailored to their needs. Customers can sign up as members to unlock special discounted pricing, early access to new product launches, and exclusive promotions. This initiative not only enhances customer loyalty but also encourages repeat purchases by offering tangible value to members. By seamlessly integrating the membership program into the shopping experience, we created a frictionless enrollment process, ensuring customers can easily access their benefits at checkout. This strategic enhancement strengthens Goodwynns’ community of adventure seekers while driving long-term engagement and revenue growth.
Arctic Grey UI/UX Design Approach.
A seamless desktop user experience is crucial for keeping visitors engaged and driving conversions. For Goodwynns, we focused on creating an intuitive and visually compelling shopping experience by refining navigation, optimizing filtering options, and implementing a responsive design that adapts smoothly to different screen sizes.

A clean, well-structured layout with strategically used white space ensures that content remains easy to digest, guiding users naturally through their shopping journey. Bold, attention-grabbing call-to-action buttons further enhance usability, encouraging engagement and driving higher click-through and conversion rates. This thoughtful approach ensures that outdoor enthusiasts can effortlessly explore and purchase high-quality gear, making their online shopping experience as smooth as their next adventure.
For Goodwynns, we crafted a mobile experience that prioritizes speed, simplicity, and ease of use. With a mobile-first approach, we streamlined navigation, optimized filtering, and ensured a touch-friendly design, making it effortless for users to browse and shop on any device. Fast load times and a clutter-free interface keep customers engaged, allowing them to find what they need quickly.
