Things a Customer-focused Website has:

    Design

    • Website was designed poorly in terms of user friendliness and no marketing element was added to capture leads.
    • For this, we tried to understand the customer’s online behavior which gave us an insight into which things were giving a good result.
    • We checked and worked on these parameters. • The links and buttons should be clickable.
    • The website was developed with new features which increased the lead generation according to the plan. The website was designed in such a way that was easy to navigate, and easy to comprehend.

    Speed

    • The website speed was poor & there were a lot of technical errors on the website which lowered the rank of the website.
    • If the website speed is slow, the conversion rates are less. • Faster sites create happy users and it’s a human tendency to leave the site when the speed is slow.
    • Therefore, to enhance the speed we optimized the website and made the necessary changes.
    • Optimization of the website increased the conversion rates.

    Content
