The Challenge

bulb loading problems

Slow Loading Experience

Large, unoptimized images and outdated scripts caused pages to load slowly or display incomplete visuals. Visitors were often met with blank spaces or delayed content which became a major barrier for engagement on any modern website.
bulb web accessibility

Accessibility Gaps

Brightly tinted images and low-contrast text made some parts of the website hard to read or navigate for users with visual sensitivities. Beyond aesthetics, these design choices affected usability and overall inclusivity.

Repetitive Layout Patterns

Several content sections followed the same visual pattern, making it difficult for users to distinguish between different types of information. On mobile, this repetition caused fatigue and made the scrolling experience feel endless.

The Solution
