Typography Did the Heavy Lifting in Removing Choice Overload

Shomrat Hazorea — Furniture E-commerce Website
Furniture buyers don't fail because they lack information — they fail because everything shouts at once. The old Shomrat HaZorea site stacked specs and product rows with no sense of what mattered first, and the result was paralysis. On the new platform I treated typography and visual hierarchy as the primary tool for sequencing decisions, not as decoration. As a PM, you care that hierarchy maps to the buying journey, and that's exactly what we designed for. The inspiration-led homepage leads with imagery and a calm, confident headline voice, deliberately demoting dense detail so visitors feel invited rather than tested. On the product page — built as a friction remover — type scale tells the eye where to go: the emotional in-home context first, then configuration, with logistics intentionally set quieter and tucked into collapsible blocks. Asaf's conversational cards rely on short, legible prompts so a choice reads in a glance. The principle is simple but easy to lose under stakeholder pressure to surface everything: hierarchy decides what users notice, in what order. Get that sequence right and you reduce overload without removing a single feature.

Accessibility When the Product Is a Sofa You Can't Touch

Accessibility on a furniture platform has a trap specific to the industry: we sell with sensory richness — in-home video, fabrics, color, a configuration drill-down down to the foam in a pillow. The more immersive that gets, the easier it is to quietly exclude people who can't consume it visually. So our brief wasn't generic WCAG compliance. It was: every visual decision needs a real non-visual equivalent. Swatches need names and state, not just hue. A live results feed that updates silently is invisible to a screen reader. Accessibility is a parallel interaction contract — not a CSS pass at the end. Especially when the product is a sofa you can't touch.
