NORDSTROM
STYLE HELP, EXCLUSIVES
NORDSTROM
nordstrom.com

Nordstrom makes their users feel


special because they get one-of-
a-kind and exclusive items only
available at Nordstrom. It makes
it an event by providing exclusive
item highlights on its main page.

Providing styling help


is a massive lifesaver
for those in need of
styling services. This
feature alone will bring
and retain customers
who love fashion but
can't put it together.

LIMEROAD

Limeroad's homepage is
