Nicola Briggs - Ceramics & Art sells original handmade ceramics and atmospheric landscape paintings inspired by wild places, priced from around $166 for ceramics to over $1,000 for original paintings. The buyer is design-aware, unhurried, and shopping for something she will live with for years. The homepage has to do the emotional and credentialing work that a gallery visit would otherwise handle.
The homepage must accomplish three things:
- Establish Nicola Briggs - Ceramics & Art as a credible, gallery-exhibited studio before the buyer evaluates a single price.
- Give the work enough visual space and context to communicate why it is worth a considered purchase.
- Create a clear next action for both first-time browsers and returning buyers ready to commit.
This Glow-Up Audit evaluates every section against those three conversion goals through a category-aware lens: original art is an emotional purchase where the visual lead and the maker's credibility do more work than any headline, and the homepage flow has to reflect that priority.
