A rebuild that paid for itself in eleven weeks

High traffic, almost no enquiries. Session recordings showed exactly where prospects were giving up — and it was not where anyone expected.

The challenge

Where they started

Harbourline's site attracted strong traffic from an established brand and consistent paid spend, but converted at well under a third of category benchmark. The internal assumption was that the design looked dated. The recordings told a different story: prospects were reaching the enquiry form and abandoning it at a fourteen-field qualification questionnaire.

The approach

What we did

  • 01

    Ran analytics review, session recording and interviews with both prospects and the sales team

  • 02

    Mapped the real decision journey and found the qualification burden had been placed before any trust was established

  • 03

    Cut the enquiry form to four fields, moving qualification into the follow-up call where it belonged

  • 04

    Rebuilt on a statically generated stack, taking mobile LCP from 5.4s to under 1.3s

  • 05

    Restructured page hierarchy around the questions prospects actually asked, in the order they asked them

The outcome

After 4 months

Enquiry conversion rate nearly doubled on essentially unchanged traffic. Lead quality did not drop — the sales team reported it improved, because conversations started earlier in the decision process.

We were convinced we had a design problem. We had a fourteen-field form problem.
