Challenges
- The website had no centralised CRM, causing student enquiries to go untracked and leading to significant lead leakage and missed business opportunities.
- Order management relied on manual spreadsheets and disconnected tools, resulting in frequent errors, miscommunication, and delayed deliveries.
- There was no automated follow-up system for abandoned orders or returning students, limiting customer retention and repeat revenue.
- The existing website was slow, outdated, and not optimised for mobile, creating a poor user experience and high bounce rates.
- The order placement process was long and confusing, causing users to drop off before completing purchases.
- The website ranked poorly on Google due to technical SEO issues such as duplicate content, broken links, and missing meta tags.
