How an E-Commerce Brand Increased Revenue 218% After a Conversion-Focused Rebuild
A growing e-commerce brand was driving traffic but not converting. We rebuilt their store around conversion fundamentals and paired it with a targeted paid advertising program.
Client requested anonymity. Brand category and region shared with permission.
Heavy Traffic, Weak Conversion
The client had strong brand recognition and a healthy flow of traffic from social and paid media. But their conversion rate sat at 0.9% — well below the 2–3% e-commerce average. They were spending on ads that weren't profitable.
The root cause was the site itself: slow product pages, cluttered category navigation, a multi-step checkout with three unnecessary fields, and no trust signals above the fold.
- Site conversion rate of 0.9% (industry average 2–3%)
- Return on ad spend (ROAS) below 1.8× — barely profitable
- Average page load time 4.8 seconds on mobile
- Shopping cart abandonment rate over 78%
- No retargeting or email automation in place
Conversion-First Rebuild + Targeted Paid Advertising
We rebuilt the store with one goal: every page optimized for conversion. Fast, clean, focused. Then we layered in a disciplined paid advertising program focused on return on ad spend — not vanity metrics.
The redesign and advertising program launched together, so we could measure the full impact of the rebuild against the baseline and isolate what drove the growth.

Revenue Growth That Paid for the Project 4× Over
The project paid for itself within the first 90 days through the ROAS improvement alone. By month 9, the brand had scaled their paid media budget by 3× while maintaining the new 4.2× ROAS — profitable growth at every spend level.
The redesign turned our website into an actual revenue engine. We're spending more on ads than ever and making more profit than ever. The difference is everything you can't see — the architecture, the speed, the checkout flow. It just works.
