Overview
Trellis.law is a leading legal research and analytics platform designed to provide law firms, lawyers, and legal professionals with critical data on judges, legal filings, and case analytics. The client sought a comprehensive redesign to improve the user experience (UX), drive higher engagement, and improve conversion rates for their subscription services.
Challenge:
Boosting Engagement, Conversion, and Retention
- Complex User Interface (UI): The existing UI was cluttered and difficult for users to navigate. Legal professionals found it hard to discover relevant information quickly, which resulted in reduced engagement.
- Low Subscription Conversion Rates: Despite a solid service offering, the subscription page was not optimized to convert visitors into paying customers, leading to low subscription growth.
- Lack of Mobile Optimization: With a growing number of users accessing the platform from mobile devices, the platform’s performance on smaller screens was suboptimal, affecting usability.
- SEO and Organic Traffic Decline: Trellis.law needed to improve its visibility on search engines to drive more organic traffic and capture new users effectively.
- Customer Retention: The client also sought strategies to retain existing customers and increase the lifetime value of each subscriber.
