Background

Three things a website has to solve before it's actually useful

Yiye Tech's old site was outsourced in 2019. Over four years it accumulated seven analytics scripts, three marketing pop-ups, and images that were never compressed.

On mobile the hero even scrolled sideways — sales had to add “best viewed on a computer” whenever they sent the link.

This isn't a taste problem, it's a conversion problem — every extra second of waiting costs you leads.

What we had to solve
  • Slow: 3.2s to first paint on desktop, 5.1s on mobile — more than half of visitors left within three seconds.
  • Confusing structure: product, solutions and case studies were mixed under one menu, and visitors couldn't find what they came for.
  • Broken conversion: a nine-field form with no feedback after submitting — users couldn't tell whether it worked.
Our approach

Start from mobile and work backwards

Content structure first, then visual design, then code. That way every screen serves conversion instead of just looking good.

01

Information architecture

23 pages collapsed into three tiers; the main navigation went from seven items to four, each mapping to one stage of the buying decision.

02

Performance

WebP images, lazy loading and four redundant scripts removed: first-load payload dropped from 4.1MB to 780KB.

03

Responsive rebuild

Designed from 375px up with three breakpoints, so the mobile hero never scrolls sideways.

04

Form simplified

Nine fields cut to four, with inline validation and a clear success state — confirmation email within three seconds.
