A few snapshots

After an intensive 20-days endeavour, I successfully addressed and implemented all of the client's specified requests and requirements.

Here are the selection of snapshots showcasing the results of dedicated efforts.

#1 : The lack of website security undermined trust, leading to a downturn in initial sales.

Resolution:
- Enabled SSL certificates.
- Redirected all HTTP urls to HTTPs with updation in .htaccess and sitemap.


Why:
- HTTPS is the Google ranking factor since 2014, without it e-commerce sites can't make sales.
- Boost Conversion/Trust Optimisation.

#2 : The website lacked a distinct voice and vibe, impacting the delivery and reception of its intended message.

Design branding template of enterprise website

Resolution:
- Defined the website branding, keeping the target audience in mind which are Gen Z and Millennials.
- I defined branding for Website hence only Font type, Font size, CTAs and Color theme.
- Favicon added, helps in brand retention among visitors.


Why:
- Without branding and a distinctive vibe, a business faces difficulty in resonate effectively with its target audience.

#4 : The absence of prompt customer support on the website resulted in disconnection among both founders and customers.
