Clean and minimal layout

The product page of the website showcases the product with the help of images & graphics so that they build trust with their customers.

The images are sticky and they scroll when we scroll through the site, which is a good addition to the page.
They also have a sticky Add to Cart and Wishlist icon at the bottom of the page. This is a good user experience practice as users have a flexibility to perform actions even if they are way below the page.

The product reviews from actual customers is a great way to ensure a sense of trust in the new customers to purchase the product.

Use of images could be better

The overall usage of imges in the whole website needs to be improved

The images in the product page used in thumbnails could be a bit better. The images right now are stretched out and do not have a proper dimensional aspect.

The current font size used in the website seems very small and might hamper readability as well. This can be improved by increasing the size of the text by a few points .The text hierarchy can also be seen missing where the price of product is shown.

Although the Client review section serves as great addition to the website to evoke trust, UI of this section can be improved in terms of spacing, proximity and hierarchy.
The images could also be added to each reviews instead of giving it at the top

‍

The spacing in many parts of the website seems off and they are not following a proper structure for spacing.

This point makes the website look not so clean when it comes to the UI of the whole website.

With a proper and improved spacing structure, they can give a more cleaner look for the Users to attract.

‍

User Experience

Although major part of the website gives a reasonable decent experience, it needs some improvements here and there in terms of good quality images, proper structure & loading speed of the site.

However, the fonts, buttons and visual elements needs to be improved.

‍

User Interface

Sugar Cosmetics design could be is visually improved. Using the Vibrant colour approach was a risk and they handled it well. However, with some improvements the whole website’s look and feel would look even better.

The UI of customer reviews section can be improved to make it more visually appealing.

Certain sections in the website have stretched out images. Therefore, the usage of images can be improved to take the website to the whole next level.
