Retro Modern Home designs furniture in Vancouver and has it made by partner factories, selling sofas, lounge chairs and dining pieces to homes, hotels and businesses across Canada and the US. Customers deal with the owner, Jeff, directly. In July 2025 we rebuilt the store’s homepage and menu on Shopify and set up its search foundations.
What the store needed.
Shoppers met 19 menu links in three rows, from sofas to clearance, before they saw a single piece of furniture. The store’s strongest reasons to buy, such as the more than 2,500 homes it has furnished and its 4.9 out of 5 rating on Google, were missing from the first screen. Search engines also had no structured details about the shop, such as its address and opening hours.
What we built.
The first screen now says what the store makes and shows its proof: more than 2,500 happy homes and a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Google, with shipping across Canada and the US at a flat rate. One button leads to the furniture and a link leads to the reviews.
Best sellers and collections follow in sliders, then the new and in-stock pieces. A banner sets out what a small business offers: direct contact with the owner, personal service and clear pricing. We grouped the 19 menu links into six menus: Home, In stock, Shop by Category, Collections, Company and Reviews.
Lower down, a moving row of logos shows businesses the store has worked with, such as Wedge Mountain Lodge and Gallery 881, followed by customer reviews with photos of the furniture in their homes. Behind the page, we gave search engines the store’s address, opening hours and price range in a form they read.
The store today.
The store still runs on the version we delivered. Since then the owner has changed the opening photo and line and added commercial furniture to the range.
