Project History
New Corporate Website
https://heartland.com/the-doctor-difference/Led the redesign and relaunch of this website and took it from Drupal to WordPress and static HTML with no loss of links and increased organic traffic in the first month. I changed out all imagery, calls to action, and internal links.
Increased Organic Traffic and Increased Sales
https://wildalaskasalmonandseafood.com/Optimized the website for lesser-selling products and instituted an ad campaign during the client's busiest sales cycle of the year. I increased organic traffic by 24% and sales by five times over the previous year.
Increased Student Enrollment at Private School
https://lafayetteacademy.org/I increased student enrollment by 18% by reworking the website for a better user experience, and I improved SEO efforts.
Their website was not user-friendly in its design, so I reorganized the navigation and added several pages to improve the flow. This reduced the bounce rate by over 20% and has improved organic traffic allowing for an increase in enrollment.
