Responsive Design

We ensure your site looks and works beautifully regardless of the browser or device, guaranteeing a flawless experience for all your visitors, no matter how they find you.

Poor Mobile Optimization

The website was not truly mobile-optimized. Instead, it was an endlessly scrolling single column that forced users on smartphones to scroll excessively to find information. This poor responsive design creates a frustrating user experience (UX) and leads to high abandonment rates.

Unstable Front-End Rendering

The page visibly glitches and repeats sections during a simple scroll. This is clear visual evidence of a broken or non-standard CSS/JavaScript build, which makes the site feel fundamentally broken and destroys user trust.

An Inefficient Navigation Structure

The website also lacked an efficient navigation system for mobile users. The development failed to include a sticky or accessible hamburger menu, forcing users to scroll to the very bottom of the long page to find a massive, unorganized list of text links.

The Solution

High-Performance Media Optimization

Our team re-engineered the website with a performance-centric codebase. This involved streamlining code, compressing all imagery, and implementing efficient asset delivery systems, allowing pages to load faster, even with a lot of images

An Action-Oriented and Modular Page Design

To address the inefficiency of the endless page scroll, our experts developed a modular, component-based design. We transformed the single feed into distinct, action-oriented sections for key user needs. This fixed the confusing user journey by guiding visitors to clear, logical next steps, making the site far more `user-friendly` and effective.
