Challenges & Early Steps
JPK’s digital visibility was critically limited. Unbranded search contributed almost no traffic, making Google one of their weakest acquisition channels. Local SERP performance was poor, with target service keywords buried on pages 3–4, eliminating any chance of capturing high-intent clicks. Site authority was nearly nonexistent: only two URLs drove measurable organic sessions, and with a Domain Rating stalled at 2, JPK lacked the backlink profile and topical authority required to compete. Without a structured SEO intervention, competitive displacement in both local and organic search was inevitable. Within just 6 months of focused SEO efforts, however, JPK’s visibility and authority began to transform.

It's not just about spending, it's about strategy. We didn't just throw more money at the problem. We scaled the brand by making every dollar smarter. We cut waste, improved ad quality, and built a strategic foundation that turned a stagnant account into a high-performing growth engine. This wasn't just optimization—it was a complete business turnaround.

Challenges & Early Steps
Our strategy was to create a premium, nostalgic, and emotionally resonant shopping experience tailored specifically to Gen X.

Challenges & Early Steps
We centered the design around “earned indulgence,” blending luxury with subtle 80s/90s inspiration without looking childish. The UX focused on clear navigation, clean product discovery, and trust-building for high-ticket items, while the brand voice used confident, relatable messaging that speaks to Gen X’s life stage.
Visually, we paired sophisticated neutrals with retro accents and high-quality lifestyle photography to deliver a modern yet nostalgic look that feels both premium and personal.

Impact of the new UX/UI Design vs. Previous Period
The goal of this project was to rebuild Beacon's digital presence from the ground up; transforming a technically complex, low-trust experience into a conversion-optimized ecommerce platform built for a high-consideration purchase environment.
The design approach centered on information hierarchy and credibility signaling, structuring PDPs with tabbed content architecture, downloadable technical references, and formula-forward visuals to reduce cognitive load without sacrificing scientific accuracy. Custom calculator logic addressed a key drop-off trigger, while controlled whitespace, typographic authority, and AI-assisted product imagery closed the gap between a research-grade brand and a consumer-ready experience. The early data confirms the approach: within the first week of launch, before any SEO or email/SMS activation, the site generated ~20 new customers, its first subscription, a 50% lift in orders, and 44% growth in gross sales. A direct signal that the UX is reducing friction and the foundation is built to scale.
