Project overview
Theo Heijmans Waste Containers wanted to improve their website and integrated web shop to make ordering waste containers simpler and more intuitive.
We developed a conversion-focused web shop with strong UX, clear choices and a smart container selector. The result is a user-friendly online environment in which both private individuals and business clients can order effortlessly, with conversion at the centre of every decision.
The challenge
The existing web shop no longer met user expectations. The ordering process was cumbersome, especially on mobile, and customers had to think too hard before taking action. The web shop also lagged on SEO and lacked a modern look and feel, leaving online potential untapped while competitors were investing in usability, speed and visibility.
The question was clear: how do you make ordering so simple that it happens as a matter of course?
Our approach
Strategic simplification of the ordering process
We started with a thorough audit of the existing web shop and a competitive analysis to identify where Theo Heijmans could stand out. On that basis, we chose WooCommerce as a solid foundation and designed a flow focused on speed, simplicity and minimal cognitive load, with particular attention to mobile use.
UX and conversion as guiding principles
Every page, button and piece of copy was designed with usability and conversion in mind. We applied CRO and neuromarketing principles to reduce hesitation and accelerate decision-making, including clear hierarchy, predictable steps and continuous reassurance that the user is on the right path. Every design decision had to contribute to faster choices and fewer drop-offs.
Clear guidance through the decision process
To help customers choose the right container, we developed a container selector that guides the user step by step. In four simple steps, the visitor determines the location, the job, the type of waste and the desired size. On the final screen, they can place an order directly, so that orientation and conversion flow seamlessly into one another and decision fatigue is avoided.
Implementation
With FLUX, we took the following steps:
Structure, flow and checkout optimisation
The entire web shop structure was rebuilt from the ground up, with a logical flow from orientation to order. We optimised the shopping cart and checkout, rewrote SEO headings and CRO copy, and ensured a logical page architecture. The container selector was first mapped out in terms of content and visual design, then developed technically and integrated into the flow.
Conversion-focused content and SEO
Copy was rewritten with clarity and action in mind, supported by an SEO structure that serves both search engines and users. Findability and conversion work together rather than in isolation.
Smart distinction between private and business customers
The default ordering flow is designed for private individuals, with a simple extension for business clients. This keeps the flow fast and light while fully serving both audiences.
Supporting with online marketing
Alongside the web shop optimisation, we refreshed Google Ads campaigns and added improved destination links. A Facebook page was also set up to further strengthen online presence and bring consistency to communications.
"The difference compared to old web shop is enormous. Ordering is now fast and logical, even on a phone. We are seeing not only more orders but are also receiving positive feedback from customers about how easy it is."

The result
Strong growth in online orders
After launch, the number of orders increased significantly, particularly from smartphones. The lower barrier to ordering translates directly into revenue growth.
Better user experience and trust
Customers experience the web shop as clear and easy to use. This is reflected in more and better reviews, in which the website and ease of ordering are specifically mentioned.
Insight to drive further optimisation
The management reporting has been expanded with deeper insights at order and product level. This enables Theo Heijmans to make better decisions on assortment, pricing and marketing, based on actual customer behaviour.
Impact and relevance
This case demonstrates how a strong focus on the end user leads to better outcomes. By combining product knowledge with UX, CRO and SEO expertise, we developed a web shop that not only performs technically but also delivers commercially. The approach applies to any business that sells online and is struggling with complexity, friction or underperforming conversion. The result is a scalable, future-proof web shop where simplicity and effectiveness come together.
What's next
Our collaboration with Theo Heijmans Waste Containers continues to deepen. We will expand the web shop with additional pages focused on SEO and local findability, making the business even more visible in the region. We also continue to optimise advertising campaigns on an ongoing basis using data and user behaviour. As a complete marketing partner, we keep building a scalable online environment that structurally supports conversion, visibility and growth.
