Real insights from the field. We share what we learn about making websites work better, reaching the right people, and solving actual problems businesses face in Taiwan's digital space.

Field Notes from March

Team analyzing website traffic patterns on multiple screens

Things We Noticed This Month

  • Restaurant websites with online menus get 3x more calls than those with PDF downloads. People want to see your food quickly on their phones.
  • Adding city names to page titles increased local traffic by an average of 47% for our retail clients in central Taiwan.
  • Sites with contact forms above the fold receive 2.4x more inquiries than those requiring scrolling.
  • Video backgrounds look nice but slow down sites enough that 15% of visitors leave before seeing your message.
  • Simple navigation structures perform better than clever ones. People want to find things, not solve puzzles.
