The Problems
Not Mobile Friendly
About 36% of existing users used mobile devices, however, the conversion rate was very poor compared to the desktop users and the industry in general.
Didn’t Represent The Brand
Outdated UI and bad UX made the web site looks like an aggregator, and it didn’t represent the company at all. The website didn’t form any user trust and loyalty, which are crucial for the business.
Speed And Performance
The page load time was about 7 seconds while the average time among competitors was about 1-3 seconds. Because of that, about 65% of users spent less than 10 seconds on the website.
The Knowledge Base
Research showed that a lot of visitors were exploring the company’s blog to learn more about the products. We decided to use this to convert more users into customers.
