Developing a high-performing brand website for consulting firms requires more than just aesthetic design—it demands strategic storytelling, speed optimization, and conversion-focused UX. This project showcases how YellowInk Digital partnered with a US-based consulting business to elevate its online presence, improve mobile performance, and drive measurable results.
Client Overview
A boutique management consulting firm based in the United States partnered with YellowInk Digital to revamp their outdated website. Their goal: a modern, mobile-first digital presence that reflects their authority in the consulting space, improves visitor engagement, and drives high-quality inbound leads.
The Challenge
Before engaging YellowInk, the client’s web presence was significantly underperforming:
-
Outdated design lacking mobile responsiveness
-
Slow page load times, hurting UX and SEO
-
Weak messaging with overused stock visuals
-
Poor navigation and user flow
-
No structured lead capture or contact strategy
To compete effectively in a saturated US consulting landscape, a complete digital transformation was necessary.
Why a Brand Website for Consulting Firm Matters
Modern consulting firms can no longer rely on outdated templates or stock imagery. A brand website serves not just as a digital brochure but as a growth engine—optimizing for speed, trust, and conversions.
The Strategy
1. Full Website Redesign on Webflow
We redesigned the firm’s five-page site (Home, Services, Team, Insights, Contact) using Webflow, integrating custom layouts, visual hierarchy, and storytelling elements that reflected the brand’s positioning.
Typography, spacing, and component structure were created in Figma to ensure design flexibility and stakeholder buy-in before development.
We also introduced interactive components like hover effects, micro-animations, and service icons to enhance visual engagement. These elements added a modern flair to the site while guiding user attention toward critical CTAs, without compromising speed or accessibility.
2. Form-First UX Approach
To boost lead generation:
- Sticky “Book Consultation” forms were embedded across high-intent sections
- Scroll-triggered CTAs captured user interest during browsing
- Mobile-friendly forms ensured seamless submission across devices
This conversion-focused structure significantly improved the user’s journey.
3. Performance Optimization
We optimized the site for speed and experience:
- Page load time improved from 5.8 seconds to 1.6 seconds
- Core Web Vitals and Google PageSpeed Insights scores jumped from 61/100 to 96/100
- Images were compressed and lazy-loaded for mobile performance
In addition, we configured Hotjar to monitor visitor interactions through heatmaps and session recordings. This helped identify navigation bottlenecks and refine CTA placements, ensuring the site continuously evolves based on real user behavior.
4. SEO Foundation Setup
We laid down a scalable on-page SEO foundation using Google Fonts for performance and clean HTML/CSS for crawlability.
- Structured metadata and semantic tags were included
- Sitemap submitted to Google Search Console
- Basic keyword targeting was implemented across service pages
5. Heatmap-Driven UX Adjustments
Using Hotjar, we captured user interactions post-launch to analyze clicks, scroll depth, and abandonment points.
This allowed us to refine:
- CTA placements on mobile
- Menu accessibility
- Scrolling behavior on long-form pages
6. Analytics & Reporting Integration
- Google Analytics 4 was integrated for real-time insights
- Funnel and goal tracking were configured for lead form submissions
- Dashboards were built to track session duration, bounce rate, and channel performance
7. Scalable Design for Future Growth
While the initial focus was on five key pages, the website structure was built to support easy expansion as the firm grows. Webflow’s CMS features were configured to allow the internal team to add blog posts, team updates, or new service pages without any development support—future-proofing the digital presence for evolving business needs.
Results Achieved (Within 30 Days)
- Page Load Speed improved from 5.8s → 1.6s

- Form Submissions grew 2.5x, with sticky CTAs performing highest
