The challenge
The Q-Windows Website has long been suffering under high exit rates, broken links and a imperfect mobile layout.
What I did
The latest 2017 website refresh turned the Q-Windows website not only completely static but mobile-first. Unlike the already fast, previous site, the new website is no longer powered by a CMS (content management system) but just plain .html files.
A modern, mobile-friendly audio player allows desktop visitors to compare the noise level of various Q-Windows glazing solutions under different environmental conditions.
This section works like a technical catalog: All window and door types are listed with their individual configuration options.
The contact form connects directly to the Q-Windows insightly.com CRM account. All submissions automatically show up on their internal dashboard and a custom tracking plugin allows Q-Windows staff understand where leads came from and what pages they looked at.
The effects
The website is not only a lot easier to maintain, but also a lot faster. Page load time is down by 65% and time spend browsing is up by 25%.
Website technology
This website is powered by Jekyll, a static site generator that compiles raw assets such as Markdown files into a deployment ready website that allows for secure, efficient hosting without PHP, MYSQL or downtime.
