Challenges

Before contacting Novate Designs, Mariam Alayande had a functioning website which had a very high bounce rate due to the following factors:

  • A poorly designed website for her writings.
  • The previous website was difficult to manage.
  • The previous website was not responsive (did not adjust perfectly when viewed on mobile devices) and the letters were very small, this altered proper communication of information to website visitors.
  • The previous website loaded slowly on mobile and desktop devices.
  • Poor choice of colors and typography which made the website unappealing to visitors.
  • Very high website bounce rate.
  • User engagement and experience on the website was generally poor.
  • Reaching out to more readers abroad due to the language barrier.
  • Getting found online.

These challenges really ultered user engagement and pushed Mariam in search of a professional web design agency that could help her acheive all her set goals.
