Shopify Website Redesign, UGC Integration, & Conversion Optimization
Where movement meets identity
Sideline Bags is the #1 backpack organizer for female athletes, trusted by 10,000+ athletes and 20+ D1 colleges nationwide. Founded by former Division I athlete Meredith Hudson, the brand solves a real problem: athletes using plastic baggies to carry jewelry, makeup, and essentials in their sports bags.Despite strong product-market fit and a 5% conversion rate, the existing Shopify website wasn't showcasing the brand's massive social proof, user-generated content (UGC), or the product's signature jewelry holder feature. The site needed to evolve from "doing fine" to becoming a "conversion machine" that matched the brand's momentum and growth.
