Design decisions

Every choice has a reason

What we chose, and the evidence behind it.

  1. 01

    A size guide on every product

    82% of apparel sites lack enough sizing information, and poor fit is the main reason for returns.

    Baymard; Just Style, Jan 2025

  2. 02

    Men and women at the top

    Category convention and the fastest path to the right size range.

    Our design rationale

  3. 03

    Orders with status

    Cash on delivery is the norm in Jordan. Shoppers need to know where the parcel is.

    EasySell, Apr 2026

  4. 04

    JOD everywhere

    Local prices, no exchange-rate surprise. Extra costs drive 40% of abandoned carts.
