Homepage

The search bar in the header doesn't read as a search bar at first glance. There's no visible border or container—just the bottom line that goes across the entire header. Combined with its placement on the left (rather than the more conventional right-side position near account and cart), it's easy to miss entirely. If search is meant to be a key navigation tool, it should be visually distinct and immediately recognizable.

I do like that it has a large click area.

This is a visual shopping site—most shoppers are probably browsing by vibe, not searching by keyword.

What would someone type here? The placeholder "Your design, your story" doesn't offer much guidance.

That said, you do have deep collections (e.g. 65+ Grateful Dead shirts), so for shoppers who arrive with something specific in mind, search could be valuable. The autocomplete with product suggestions is a nice touch.

Perhaps you already know, but it's worth investigating: how often is search actually used, and does it correlate with conversions? If it's underperforming, consider whether that screen real estate could work harder with something else in its place.

Ten top-level items is a lot to process: Crazy Deals, New, Men, Women, Kids, Show Aloha, Interests, Collaborations, Signature Colors, Gifts. Some of these are clear (Men, Women, Kids), but others are vague—what's the difference between "Interests" and "Collaborations"? What does "Show Aloha" contain that wouldn't be in the main categories? This could create decision paralysis. It might be worth investigating whether some of these could be consolidated or nested. That said, without knowing your metrics I can't be certain. If "Collaborations" is a huge traffic driver, it deserves the visibility.

"Fresh Styles for Sunny Days" sets a mood, but it doesn't tell first-time visitors what Crazy Shirts actually is. Yes, the name implies shirts—but what makes them "crazy"? Are these custom designs? Hawaiian prints? Pop culture collaborations? The hero is prime real estate for answering that question. A first-time visitor should land here and immediately understand what makes this brand different and what they'll find if they explore. Right now, the copy is doing atmosphere work when it should also be doing orientation work.

The hero image is vibrant and fun, but it's busy everywhere—there's no quiet zone for the text and button to live. The black "Explore Now" button gets lost against the dark shadows and foliage, and the white headline competes with the shirts (on mobile) and the sky (on desktop).

A radial gradient or subtle vignette behind the copy could help without sacrificing the image's energy. Even better: when shooting future hero images, consider composing them with a deliberately "boring" area (solid sky, the side of a van, an out-of-focus background) specifically designed to hold text. The best hero photos are designed for the layout.

The center-most product gets a very subtle zoom, which is helpful in theory—it draws focus as it reveals the product name and CTA. But in practice, it creates confusion. Because only the center shirt shows a title and "Shop Now" button, the other products feel non-interactive, like you need to scroll them into position first. But they're actually clickable and link directly to PDPs. I clicked products on either size accidentally more than once, expecting my click to bring the product to the center for closer inspection.

If this center-focus pattern is intentional, lean into it: make clicks on the side products bring them into the center, and zoom the center product even more to reveal details and let customers get a better look.

This carousel loops infinitely. Every shirt here is the same Whiskey Dyed color, making it difficult to notice when you've looped back to the start. Show pagination dots or cap the scroll so people know when they've seen everything.

This featured product section is 100% men's clothing if I'm not mistaken. If the customer base skews heavily male, maybe that's fine—but it's still a missed opportunity. A simple toggle (Men / Women / All) would let this section serve more visitors without requiring a full redesign. Or feature a mix of unisex styles that appeal broadly.

"Men or Women?" is one of the simplest choices on the site—it doesn't need to consume nearly a full viewport on a 16-inch laptop. The images are beautiful, but the buttons are comically small relative to the section size, and the headers feel like afterthoughts floating in the corner. This header/button split would work fine at half the height. Let the photography breathe, but don't make visitors scroll past what is essentially a two-option fork in the road.

There's a pattern emerging on this homepage: every section is full-bleed, every image is enormous, every element demands attention. The video banner is huge. The product carousel is huge. The Men/Women split here is huge. When everything is emphasized, nothing is—the eye has nowhere to rest, and the page starts to feel more like a stack of billboards than a considered shopping experience. Some visual breathing room (tighter sections, more whitespace, varying scales, some sections not full-bleed) would help guide visitors through the page rather than overwhelming them.

These are solid: lifestyle photography organized by category, easy to scan, and a clear jumping-off point into the catalog. If there's room to optimize, it might be placement—these carousels help visitors orient to what's available, which could be valuable higher up the page. But promoting new arrivals and featured collections first is a reasonable choice. No major issues here.

The Show Aloha collection looks like it supports five different charities, but only purchases from this specific collection contribute. From a customer's perspective, that math gets fuzzy fast: a small slice of revenue from one collection, split five ways, may not feel like meaningful impact. Whether or not that's true, the perception can undermine the message.

Charitable giving works best as a trust signal when it feels substantial and specific. "We've donated $50,000 to [Charity X] this year" lands harder than "a portion of proceeds from select items supports various causes." If Show Aloha is meant to be a brand differentiator, consider either focusing the giving (one charity, deeper commitment) or broadening the program (every purchase contributes, not just one collection). Either approach would make the story easier to tell—and easier for customers to believe.

The footer trust bar (Lifetime Happiness Guarantee, Customer Service, etc.) is the right idea—these signals help close the loop for hesitant buyers. But the design undermines the message. The spacing and typography feel unpolished, and every icon contains tiny text that duplicates what's already written below it. That text is illegible at this size and should be removed entirely. Simplify the icons to pure visuals and let the HTML text do the work.

Right now, email signup and social follow are split into two adjacent boxes with nearly identical value propositions ("exclusive offers" appears in both). Combining them into a single full-width section would create room to tell an actual story. What does someone get by staying connected? "Island Vibes" is vague but feels like a promising direction. A curated gallery of lifestyle imagery from your social feeds in this section could make it tangible. Lean into the Hawaii aspirational angle: people dream about this place. Give them a reason to want a piece of it in their inbox.

Footers are often where undecided visitors land after scrolling the entire page—one final moment to capture their interest before they leave. Adding a "Men's" and "Women's" columns with popular subcollections beneath each (Long Sleeves, Polos, Collaborations, etc.) would give them a low-friction path back into browsing.

The footer is already dense, but there's room to create if you move the payment icons and currency selector to a slim bar at the very bottom. Those elements are useful for trust and international shoppers, but they don't need prime real estate. Moving them down opens up space for a shopping column that actually drives behavior.

The column headers ("Ways To Shop," "Customer Service," etc.) are styled with underlines—a universal visual convention for clickable links. But they're not links. Combined with the oversized serif font and huge line spacing, these headers dominate the footer visually while misleading users about what's interactive. Remove the underlines and style them as clear section labels.

When you have four columns of links—some with five, six, seven items—center alignment forces the eye to hunt for where each line begins. Left-aligned text creates a clean vertical edge that makes scanning much easier. This applies to the entire footer, not just the link columns: the email signup, social section, and payment icons would all benefit from consistent left alignment.

Beyond the structural issues, the footer has inconsistent spacing, competing visual weights, and a lot of density without clear hierarchy. It's functional, but it doesn't feel considered. A design pass to tighten typography, align elements, and establish clearer groupings would help it feel like a coherent end to the page rather than a dumping ground for links.
