You can have the best product or service, but if visitors don’t trust your website, they won’t buy.
A client came to us with a trust issue—tons of visitors but no conversions. People landed on their site and left within seconds. Here’s what was breaking trust (and how we fixed it).
Step 1: The Homepage Had No Human Connection
🔹 Why it mattered: People trust people, not faceless brands.
✅ Fix:
We added real team photos instead of stock images.
We wrote in a friendly, human tone—no corporate jargon.📈 Result: 28% increase in time spent on site.
Step 2: No Proof That Others Trusted Them
🔹 Why it mattered: Social proof is one of the strongest conversion drivers.
✅ Fix:
We moved testimonials from a hidden page to the homepage.
We added star ratings and trust badges near the CTA.📈 Result: 41% more visitors clicked to book a consultation.
Step 3: The Site Looked Outdated
🔹 Why it mattered: A poorly designed site makes visitors question the legitimacy of the business.
✅ Fix:
We modernised the design (cleaner fonts, better spacing, clear buttons).
We ensured fast load speed & mobile optimisation (slow sites feel unreliable).📈 Result: Bounce rate dropped by 35%.
Final Takeaway:
People won’t buy from a site they don’t trust. If your visitors leave without converting, it’s not always a traffic problem—it’s a credibility problem.
