UXLAB services page after Boostra CRO audit
Portfolio traffic was converting poorly not because of the work quality, but because of where we placed the proof.

Challenge

UXLAB® wins clients through a portfolio-heavy website that draws agency directors and scale-up founders. Time-on-site averaged over three minutes, signalling genuine interest. But the services page was converting at a fraction of what referral quality suggested it should.

The team had iterated on headline copy without a shared, page-level diagnosis. The primary 'Book a discovery call' button sat below a dense service description, and client logos — the proof element most likely to move a decision-maker — appeared only after significant scrolling.

Approach

Boostra's scan flagged a hierarchy problem above the fold: the inquiry CTA was visually outranked by the portfolio grid, and the client logo strip sat near the page footer. The action plan recommended elevating proof to the opening section, making the inquiry CTA the sole dominant action on the services page, and adding a project-size qualifier to filter conversations.

The team made three targeted changes without a redesign: client logos moved immediately under the opening headline, the portfolio grid was demoted below the service description on that page, and the inquiry form added a budget-range selector to pre-qualify leads.

Results

Consultation requests rose 13.4% in the test window, services-page bounce fell 11%, and the share of enquiries matching the studio's target project size improved 8 points. Decision-makers reached the form faster, without being stalled by unanswered proof questions.

Results are from UXLAB's Boostra workflow on this page. They are directional results for this specific audience and surface — not a universal outcome for every design studio.
