Corporate Website Achieves 85% Conversion Increase
A comprehensive case study on how Mindoxa transformed an outdated corporate website into a high-converting lead generation engine.
Case Study Overview
A leading corporate services provider in Dubai with over 15 years of experience was struggling with an outdated website that failed to reflect their premium positioning and generate quality leads. Despite offering high-quality services and having a strong reputation in the market, their digital presence was underperforming significantly.
The client approached Mindoxa with clear objectives: redesign their website to better represent their brand, improve user experience across all devices, and significantly increase lead generation through the website. This case study details our strategic approach, implementation process, and the exceptional results achieved through the redesign.

The client's website was last redesigned in 2015 and had become outdated in terms of design, technology, and user experience. Despite investing in other marketing channels, their website was failing to convert visitors into leads, with a conversion rate of less than 1% for contact form submissions.
