META - UX/UI cleanup

[trallard]

Background

There are several UI/UX needs already identified as issues on conda-store-ui. However, some things should have been included or implemented from the original Figma files.

It would be helpful to revisit existing Figma files with the view to identifying:

• features that were not implemented
• features that should be added
• features that could be improved to provide a better user experience (in terms of usability, accessibility, more intuitive interface)
