73% Increase in Calls After Historic Hotels Modern Website Redesign
The Queensbury Hotel in downtown Glens Falls has served as a city centerpiece since 1926. Though the hotel is historic, they came to Mannix Marketing for a modern-day website. A full redesign was required to make the website meet reasonable accessibility standards and improve load speed times overall.
The Results
- 3XFaster Load Speed
- 14%Lower Bounce Rate
- 73%Increase in Calls
To achieve this, Mannix recoded the site from scratch to remove traces of the old, non-compliant platform builder, addressed over a hundred photos that lacked alt text, and build mobile-friendly landing pages for PDFs like menu pages, wedding and events brochures, weddings menus, and packages, banquet, and catering and off-premise catering menus.
The results were phenomenal! Before the redesign, the website received a D rating for load time, at 7.2 seconds. The new site was over 3X faster at 2.2 seconds, receiving an A rating. Overall bounce rate decreased by 14% and pages viewed per session increased by 12%.
The hotel also saw a huge increase in goal completions for emails, contact form fills, proposal form fills, and calls increased by 73%!
