Case studies

Real problems, measurable fixes.

A selection of engagements across performance optimisation, UX/UI design and digital transformation — from a single lawyer’s website to enterprise approval workflows.

If a page takes longer than three seconds to load, over a quarter of users click away. According to Google, the probability of a bounce rises by 32% at 1–3 seconds, 90% at 1–5 seconds and 123% at 1–10 seconds.

Background

A poorly coded custom PHP website belonging to a renowned member of the Supreme Court Bar Association and author of 12 books on labour law. The site loaded ten times slower than a normal website, hurting conversion, search visibility and usability.

What was done

  • Minimised HTML, CSS and JavaScript — removing unwanted code and files.
  • Compressed site files with Gzip.
  • Enabled browser caching so repeat visits don’t reload everything.
  • Reduced the number of redirects.
  • Optimised graphics for good quality at a low file size.
GTmetrix report before optimisation: grade E, performance 47%

Before — grade E, 47% performance

GTmetrix report after optimisation: grade A, performance 99%

After — grade A, 99% performance, LCP 0.8 s

Outcome

The client found me through a search engine. After an hour-long discussion, the website was loading within three seconds the very next day — with a GTmetrix score of 95+ and a Google PageSpeed score of 85+.

UX/UI consultancy for the CAPEX/OPEX portal of an Indian multinational conglomerate headquartered in Mumbai.

The challenge

The portal’s emphasis was goal conversion: employees needed to find what they were expected to do — and do it — without much effort or thought. The design had to compete with existing habits of sharing information every day.

Solution

  • Keep it simple — a clutter-free, interactive, mobile-responsive design that also speeds up the app by reducing elements to download.
  • Colour palette — green from the client’s logo (growth, renewal, calm), grey text and generous white space for a clean feel.
  • Icons & illustrations — attractive yet simple ways to communicate ideas and concepts.
  • Responsive — engaging from both a UX and a visual perspective on every device.

Next steps

Deep research into specific features, usability testing of the prototype, improved user flows and a comprehensive business model.
