Questionnaire

We introduced a 'Questionnaire' page where visitors could take self-assessment quizzes on topics like Anger Handling, Procrastination, Time Management, Stress Management, and Self-Worth. These quizzes assisted them in determining which service was the right investment for their needs.

We created the 'Events' page to showcase upcoming and past events, with essential details like dates, times, locations, and brief descriptions for easy access by those interested in coaching or motivational talks.

eShop

We added an eShop page to the website, which allowed interested customers to browse and purchase the client's services. We also implemented secure and safe payment options.

The chosen website theme presented constraints that required creative problem-solving. Identifying these limitations during theme implementation, innovative solutions, including custom coding and strategic adjustments, were employed. The objective was to surpass the client's expectations, resulting in a website that seamlessly blended aesthetics with functionality.

Performance Issues

Early in the project, performance issues specific to the website's architecture were identified. Proactive optimization measures were taken to enhance speed and responsiveness. This comprehensive optimization process involved fine-tuning the website's architecture, optimizing code for efficiency, and implementing techniques such as image compression. Ongoing monitoring and adjustments ensured optimal website functionality across various devices.
