Check 5 / 13 LOW impact In the full checklist

Founder story + real photo, not stock +18% trust

What this check is

A named founder with a real photograph converts the store from an anonymous warehouse into a business with someone accountable behind it. Stock photography does the opposite once the shopper recognises it.

How to implement it

Write two or three paragraphs about why the store exists and who runs it, use a real photograph rather than a stock image, and place the story on the about page and a short version near the product page trust block. Add the company details that match the legal pages.

How to verify it

Open the about page and check that the photo is the real founder, the story names a person, and the company details agree with the footer and the legal pages.
