An online store for metal detectors and detecting gear, for people who spend their weekends in the forest. We built the store. Relic Hunter sells metal detectors, coils and detecting gear. Its old website was slow, hard to find on Google and sold little. We rebuilt it as a modern Shopify store, set up for search and repeat buyers. Slow, hidden and not selling The old site loaded slowly, had no search optimisation and did not turn visitors into buyers. A modern store that sells A clean Shopify store with filters, secure payments, search optimisation and emails that bring buyers back. Simple navigation through the categories A store that works well on the phone Search optimisation across the store Product texts written for real searches Clear calls to buy Wireframes and mockups focused on the main product categories. A Shopify store with product filters and secure payments. Keyword research, then product descriptions, titles and image texts. Abandoned cart emails, promotions and segmented lists for repeat buyers. Compressed images and caching, then regular checks after launch. WordPress, WooCommerce and Elementor 6 product categories, English and German RelicHunter is a specialised European shop for metal detectors, search coils, pinpointers and detecting gear, run by people who know the hobby. We built their online store and set it up for search, so a detectorist can find the right machine, compare it and order it with an EU warranty. The old website loaded slowly, had no search optimisation and did not turn visitors into buyers. RelicHunter needed a store that is easy to shop on a phone and shows up when people search for detecting gear. We designed the store around the main product categories, then wrote product titles, descriptions and image texts for real searches. We kept the path to checkout short and added emails that bring back abandoned carts and repeat buyers. The store now groups its range into six categories, from metal detectors and search coils to gold prospecting and bundles. Shoppers can search, compare, save to a wishlist and pay in euros, with warranty, shipping and returns explained on their own pages. The home page opens with the gear detectorists ask about, like the Golden Mask carbon shaft and the XP Deus II. Six popular categories follow, from metal detectors to bundles and kits. Each product card shows the price, the discount and whether it is in stock. Search, account, compare, wishlist and cart sit in the header of every page. Detectors are sorted by use, such as relic and coin hunting, beach and underwater or deep seeking, and by level from beginner to professional. Coils are grouped by brand, size and technology. The service pages answer what slows an order down. Orders leave the EU warehouse in 1 to 3 business days with DPD tracking, and every product carries at least a 2-year EU warranty. The contact form sorts each message by reason, from product advice to wholesale orders.
