WP Builders FightClub: Visual Composer Case Study

Raitis Sevelis — Wed, 31 May 2023 12:28:07 +0000

The first rule of Fight Club states that you don't talk about Fight Club. The good news is that WordPress Builder Fight Club is a different breed. It is easy to join, you can talk about it, and there is no Brad Pitt to hold (kick) you back.

At WP Builders Fight Club, all major page builders and website builders compete in a fair game to show their performance and abilities.

What is WP Builders Fight Club?

WP Builders Fight Club is a community-driven project for page builders and website builders to compete in terms of performance, design, and other capabilities.

The idea is simple, you need to create a WordPress page. But not any kind of page - the page needs to follow the Fight Club guidelines and requirements. The requirements include technical specifications and design accuracy.

All pages created with different builders are then stored in a similar environment. This helps to measure the performance and receive unbiased results. The results include reports from GTMetrix and Google PageSpeed Insights.

The goal of the project is simple - have an honest and transparent comparison of all major WordPress builders in one place.

As of today, there are all major page builders and website builders presented, including Elementor, Builderius, Beaver Builder, and Visual Composer.

WP Builders Fight Club and Visual Composer

We decided to join WP Builder Fight Club with Visual Composer. Visual Composer Website Builder is a complete solution that allows you to build WordPress sites without using the styling of any WordPress themes.

Our goal was to complete the challenge to showcase the capabilities of our visual site builder while not compromising on performance.

Our solution consisted of Visual Composer, Advanced Custom Fields, and SVG Support. We also had Twenty Twenty-Three theme installed (per WordPress guidelines) but did not use it. What makes Visual Composer stand out is that we will not load any theme files if you are using Theme Builder to avoid theme footprints on performance.
The page layout was built using Visual Composer Theme Builder where you can design headers and footers. In the layout, we used Advanced Custom Fields for dynamic content and custom CSS for additional styling.

Since Visual Composer is a low-code solution, web developers and agencies can easily tweak the look and feel of their sites using custom CSS and JavaScript. In the Fight Club challenge, we used custom CSS to introduce pixel-perfect image overlap.

For the content part, we used Visual Composer free and premium elements from the Visual Composer Hub (cloud element library). The library consists of hundreds of content elements and integrations which reduces the need for additional plugins and add-ons.

Results

With Visual Composer, we managed to score 98 performance points in GTMetrix and Google PageSpeed Insights. The score on mobile was a bit lower (88 points) which means there is room for improvement.

We also reached 100 points in the structure and high scores for accessibility and SEO. To be fair, we did not work on the SEO score as a part of the Fight Club challenge. Jumping into Visual Composer Insights and data attributes can easily help you to get 100 points in SEO.

If we compare Visual Composer with other major builders on the market, we see that we have scored higher than some well-known players and are among the top solutions among builders when it comes to performance.

If you’re curious, you can learn more details about how exactly the page was replicated, what challenges we faced, and how we overcame them.

Visual Composer Showcase No. 22

Nikola Puciriusa — Mon, 23 Aug 2021 14:11:54 +0000

For our 22nd showcase, we have prepared a super special line-up, honoring these unique, and one-of-a-kind websites that are #madeinVC, for a fact.

We expect you to take from this the information and tools you need, to create a showstopper website for yourself or clients. Because we know that you will most definitely feel inspired!

For that being said, we have listed the Visual Composer content elements, templates, and addons used to create these stunners, under each website

Cad Soft

Cad Soft introduces innovations in dentistry, with software for CAD/ CAM (as in Computer-Aided Design & Manufacturing), guided surgeries, and orthodontics. These AI systems use optical cameras that take 3D images, create digital casts faster, and improve the workflow for dentists & results for patients.

Their website has a lot of next-level designs and animations as well, representing them being up-to-date when it comes to introducing new technologies.

To create this fun page, they have applied the background carousel in their hero section, which livens up the whole site. As for their content, the company uses CSS animations such as Fade In, and Slider to make their displayed products stand out even more.

In addition, the first thing you see upon entry is a stunning popup which is beneficial for conversions, created with the popup editor addon.

Golden Hour Media

This is one of the greater examples of telling a story that inspires visitors who may stumble upon this page. Golden Hour Media is a group of creatives based in the U.S. state of South Carolina. They offer photography and videography services for events, like weddings, brand work, and real estate.

The website complements the aesthetic of the brand they are representing perfectly.

The design options used to create this art piece are - a video background for the opening view and content sliders that elevate the page. For which, if you wish to recreate, the editor offers multiple content elements. Like, the Slider Revolution integration, which helps create beautiful and dynamic sliders.

Plus, stickiness applied to the header section is a great common practice. It ensures that users always have the menu in their reach.

Atlas of the Future

Atlas of the Future is a nonprofit organization founded in Barcelona for a great cause - spreading the word about climate change and finding solutions to create a sustainable future. Each year they invite social pioneers from all over the world, to present their ideas at Fixing the Future.

One of the greater features of the editor is the theme builder with which you can manage the layouts of your pages. Atlas, as per example, has used the header, footer, and sidebar editor to create, save and re-use templates on multiple pages of their website.

Other than that, some fun features that the organization has incorporated throughout their page, are icons. Starting at the top of the page with social media icons that are vital for exposure. And, also continuing further down the page. This is a simple yet great way to draw attention to text by using descriptive symbols.

Mirca Design

This website by the company named Mirca Design is one you will want to scroll through fully! Experience all of the extraordinary parallax effects firsthand.

Specializing in industrial design management, Mirca is a company that creates new products and services for its clients. Based on trend analysis, research, and expertise in the field. They grant to increase the value of the new products with fantastic design strategies.

Although we emphasize that the editor doesn't require coding, if you wish to have some more complex elements, you can use custom CSS, HTML, and JavaScript to create wonders, as this website has.

Another great advantage of the editor is the responsive design. The automatic website adjustments to all devices are magic and this site is an excellent example. Just in case you are wondering, you can also customize responsiveness settings.

Werner Viln

Portfolios are gaining popularity by the day, and in case you didn't know, you can create your own completely for free. This one in particular, by Wener Viln, is breathtaking.

Wener Viln is a digital content creator, senior art director, designer, and illustrator. With more than 15 years of experience in the print & digital content creation industry.

This website itself is super simple, but the content and layout are what make it so beautiful. Best of all, with the editor, you can choose from more than 200 designer-made templates to modify. In this example, the artist has used the post grid element to showcase his best work all in one place.

Another cool thing used on this page is the logo slider element from the Visual Composer Hub. Which lists all the brands the artist has worked with. This is a good feature both design-wise and as a social proof element. In this case, exhibiting achievements and recognition for the artist.

Hey V.A

Hey V.A is a virtual assistant created by Maddie Irving, located in Sydney, Australia. Offering a vast range of long & short-term services to suit the needs of business owners or entrepreneurs. Providing quality and affordable administrative support.

Be sure to check out her blog with advice on how to stay motivated and productive, as well!

Since this is the last website on our list, we would like to accent some elements we haven't yet mentioned. Like, compatibility with WooCommerce, for example, which Maddie uses. As well as the compatibility with Contact Form 7, to make it easier for her clients to reach her at any given time.

As for the next thing, peep the awesome loading screen when you click through Maddie's pages. Making sure you introduce loading screens and icons is a must. That will ensure users don't confuse the site loading for it being broken. Even if it's only a few seconds, it's still crucial. That and other factors that influence website performance can either make your website rank or tank.

And yes, you are probably wondering, how did she create the typing text loop in the hero section? Unfortunately, or fortunately (you decide) you can create that and other custom elements using Visual Composer API.

Ending Thoughts

Creating websites is a form of art that requires a skill-set not many have, but all can learn!

With Visual Composer, you can create websites for yourself or your clients, that they can manage themselves! Fast, easy, and intuitive.

And on that high note, don't forget to tune into our next showcase series!

Top 10 Websites Built With Visual Composer In The Last Decade

Irma Edite Girupniece — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 06:54:48 +0000

It was 10 years ago when the Visual Composer brand was created, and a few years later we launched Visual Composer Website Builder - the next generation of WordPress page builders.

To celebrate our birthday, we are showcasing some of the best websites built with Visual Composer to date! Check out these creative and innovative examples below!

EverGreen

Evergreen is a family-owned business that distributes nutritious, healthy snacks all across the globe. Visitors can overview these labels organized within a simple Logo Slider element from the Visual Composer Hub.

This website shows how you can create a great first impression with high-quality images and catchy effects like bounce and mouse-follow animation.

It is also important to note, that this website has combined the functionality of multiple WordPress plugins with Visual Composer Integrations. Once opened, the website displays a beautiful slider created with the Slider Revolution plugin and fine-tuned with Visual Composer.

BlueSoft

BlueSoft is a software development company that specializes in working with clients’ business technology challenges. They highlight customers’ logos with small round-shape thumbnails (with Visual Composer you can control media’s shape, size, alignment, and more).

BlueSoft uses interactive animations and fade-in effects to create a sense of involvement and a dynamic feel. While adding the fade-in effect to your site can require a bit of coding knowledge, the powerful Design Options allow you to choose and add one of 40+ animation effects with a single click.

Dune & Sky

Dune & Sky is an authentic portfolio of a web designer taking care of everything. They've done a great job with branding their site and creating a very unique look that you won't forget.

In the website, they use basic elements like separators and buttons as well as attention-grabbing background and clean minimalistic sections. They have really created a balance between simplistic layout and eye-catching design.

You can also create a transparent header (just as Dune & Sky did) with the Visual Composer Header Builder that comes within the Theme Builder addon.

Audrey Fotografia

Audrey Fotografia is a photography website, that displays the work of Adrienn. Her website is a great example of what you can achieve with Visual Composer.

An effective feature is the Video Background that is used at the very top of the page. It engages the visitor and it serves as a quick showreel of what's to come.

Other Visual Composer features that are used on this website and are worth mentioning are the header and footer builder and the grid elements that display multiple galleries.

Tilde Johansson

We are so proud to support various types of brands from individual to organization and personal brands. For example, Tilde Johansson, a famous Swedish athlete, chooses Visual Composer to build her engaging and unique portfolio website.

This website uses high-quality images and interactive mouse-follow animations, and that gives a personal feel.

Also, this layout is an example of how well two outstanding web design trends like disordered grid and micro animations can blend with a simple slider block.

White's Mercantile

White's Mercantile is a well-designed all-in-one shopping solution for everything you have ever wanted to buy.

We adore the interesting hand-drawn style of the website and the effort that was put into creating such a beautiful project. The result is fascinating: the easy-to-remember website that stands out from the crowd showing how much the design of a simple site can impact its altogether look.

Martini Time

No Martini – no party! We are excited to see that brands like Martini rely on Visual Composer to support their online presence.

A simple feature with a big impact is the image background type that you can find in the Design Options. Martini Time is using the “Background zoom” effect, but you can also choose an “Image slideshow” as a background or even a video.

CharlieShotMe

CharlieShotMe is a website for accomplished fashion and portrait photographer Charles Rodulfo.

The full width and height of the background image result in a beautiful layout that is easy to make using the row settings. More about the background – the colors of the images and background are perfectly coherent.

Norra Hamnen 5

This is a website for a restaurant “Norra Hamnen 5”, a restaurant in Sweden that offers a beautiful view as well as local produce.

This website is making good use of the Google Headings element (it has all Google Fonts available) mixed with some more uncommon elements like Multiple Image Collage and Simple Call To Action. All these elements combined make it easy to locate the focus points of the site. Those are also amplified by using CSS animations.

Despite the site being made using a regular grid, it looks a little distorted and that’s a very popular design component at the moment.

An element that is conveniently used in this layout is the Feature Section. It’s not only a very quickly customizable block, it also takes care of responsiveness for you.

EnjoyHQ

EnjoyHQ is a user research platform based on providing extensive data analysis to centralize all research data and discover insights faster.

The combination of basic Visual Composer Website Builder elements and Custom CSS to style them additionally is a powerful way how to build a clean and unique design.

A good practice is to include customer reviews, and there's an element in Visual Composer that does just that, the Star Ranking element, that they've used at the very top of the site.

Many More Years to Come

These have been our favorite websites that show just how far we've come together as a community. And if you're new to Visual Composer, or just looking for something fresh - take a look at these beautiful websites that will boost your inspiration for creating your own awesome site!

Speaking of creating your own site, you can get your hands on a 40% discount on any Visual Composer license! We are launching the biggest sale of the year, so make sure to register and get a reminder when the sale is live!

We are excited to celebrate this milestone with you and thank you for being with us throughout these years!

Visual Composer Showcase: April 2021

Paula Scerbinina — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 06:49:41 +0000

Every month we prepare a list with inspirational examples of websites made with Visual Composer. #madeinvc

But inspiration is not a single emotion we hope to evoke in you. Each showcase intends to reveal tips & tricks on how to use Visual Composer (and WordPress) to rock with your website design

Stay tuned for a portion of helpful hints coming!

Dune & Sky

Dune & Sky is an authentic portfolio of a web designer taking care of everything. Like picking up the color schema and crafting copy to helping you build an email marketing funnel. Each element of the page reflects the uniqueness of this personal brand and the value it provides. This portfolio is also a great example of how a persuasive message can be delivered via website design.

From basic elements like separators and buttons to an attention-grabbing background and clean minimalistic sections. The balance between customization and fundamental key components is what connects the audience with the artist from the very beginning.

Did you know: You can also create a transparent header (just as Dune & Sky did) with a Visual Composer Header Builder that comes within a Theme Builder addon.

Finch

It seems that each element of the company’s website is living its own life. Take these loop animation videos, one-of-a-kind mouse cursor, and custom scroll. Just spend a little time playing around with the design of the homepage to see them in action. You can literary click anywhere to trigger some kind of animation.

Yes, animations are great for improving conversion rates and increasing average time on page.

But if you are using animations, be careful while making any changes: sometimes this can lead to slow page load times and responsiveness issues. Plus, it’s important to keep a code clean (if you are using one to animate content).

Did you know: Among all benefits when creating your site with Premium, you can also access the Global Template addon. This feature allows you to make global changes to your layout without having to manually edit particular sections.

Haus Kärntnerland

Haus Kärntnerland is a small, family-owned bed and breakfast place located in a cozy Alpic village. They have a simple site highlighting the most important information for clients first. Namely, they are using a powerful combo of Visual Composer and Slider Revolution integration to liven up the layout from the very top of the page.

But the slideshow created is not the only thing that gathers attention here. Haus Kärntnerland uses the Basic Button content element to personalize the design by simply customizing borders. It’s a great little twist to add a personal touch to a static page.

Did you know: A GDPR compliant cookie popup, like the one at the very bottom of the Haus Kärntnerland page, can be also created with Visual Composer Popup Builder.

Future Productions

The company is yet another example of a design that speaks louder than words and conveys the message in a better way. Future Productions believe in visualization because this is what they do on a daily basis as a video production company.

To illustrate the purpose of the company, Future Productions are using the YouTube Video Player element embed in their page. Also, they are taking advantage of the column Design Options. They set a video as a background and complement it with different custom hover effects.

Did you know: The best approach for adding a depth illusion to your video background is to combine it with a parallax effect (for Premium users, there are more than 8 parallax effects available).

Tavolo Apolidia

Tavolo Apodidia is a network of civil society organizations engaged in the protection of stateless persons in Italy. They fight for equal fundamental rights for people who are not considered national. They also provide protection, coordinate advocacy activities, and more.

This network wants to be heard - and nothing can help here better than their chosen content elements. Like testimonial block to a large Google Fonts Heading to grab visitors’ attention. Or Post Grid container to display news and embedded Twitter posts to represent the importance of the problem. Every aspect of this design clearly states the following: this is an issue that needs to be solved.

Did you know: Starting from scratch sometimes can take a lot of time, money, and energy, but using pre-made WordPress templates can be a solution. Especially, if they are already designed for a specific industry’s needs in mind.

Cloud Five

We are always passionate about including some food industry sites in our monthly showcase. In April, this is a Cloud Five breakfast cafe website.

This is a classic illustration of a minimalistic (and yummy) layout consisting of high-quality images, a lot of white space, and logically divided sections. But apart from appealing visuals and powerful custom solutions, Cloud Five is also using must-have attributes for every restaurant, cafe, or bar. For example, a sticky header (which is also one of the custom header best practices) to make content more accessible or a Pricing Table content element to display prices in a transparent way.

Did you know: Visual Composer Hub consists of more than 500 content elements, predesigned templates, addons, and integrations for every industry (from beauty to retail business and more).

It's Not a Goodbye, It's a See You Later

We hope some of the websites included in this showcase have created a “wow” effect for you while scrolling. And, what’s most important, have ensured you building your professional website starting from now.

As always, see you in the next showcase - it's not a goodbye, it's a see you later

Visual Composer Showcase: March 2021

Paula Scerbinina — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 12:26:48 +0000

It’s the very beginning of spring outside which means the new season is just around the corner. And so do fresh ideas and inspiration. Each and every Visual Composer showcase is intended to make you feel that way. #madeinvc

But this one is a worth-reading knowledge-packed piece containing the best practices on how to utilize the most popular features of the plugin for a specific industry.

The Pinnacle Group

The Pinnacle Group is a “forward-thinking” company, that offers creative solutions for people in the financial services industry. They are committed to providing the most innovative ways to transform their clients’ businesses, alongside enhancing their products and elevating their brand.

They have mastered their craft so well that they have been named one of the 101 highest-scoring companies of the “Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation” by The National Association for Business Resources.

Their website is also well-crafted, by integrating a slider element by Slider Revolution on their home page. This is one of the many compatibility elements that are available in the Visual Composer Hub.

On that same page, they also use an image slider to showcase their team members, alongside a static text that represents their core values.

BlueSoft

BlueSoft is a custom software development company tackling clients’ business technical challenges with the help of the latest technologies. They deliver unique products optimized for the needs of a particular industry from insurance to finance.

In addition, BlueSoft proudly highlights customers’ logos via small round-shape thumbnails (with Visual Composer you can control media’s shape, size, alignment, and more).

BlueSoft also emphasizes this individual approach throughout the site’s design. Interactive animations and fade-in effects create a sense of involvement, balance textual content, and stimulate a smooth procession of information.

While adding the fade-in effect to your site can require a bit of coding knowledge, powerful Design Options allow you to choose and add one of 40+ animation effects with a single click.

Twyst

Twyst is a public relations agency delivering the vision, mission, and values of the company within a simple yet colorful website design. When a visitor launches the homepage, there are multiple components that immediately catch attention.

Like colorful symbols with a zoom effect and a large persuasive Google Fonts Heading (Visual Composer has integrated a full Google Fonts library) element.

To create a great copy as Twyst has (and make text adjustments more convenient), you can use Visual Composer Inline Editor - a feature that makes text adjustments more convenient by allowing you to change it with a double-click.

Pinnacle Consulting

The website of Pinnacle Consulting advertising agency creates a minimalistic and creative online presence that attracts at first glance. But details like animated heading or opacity applied to texts work well to displays the agency’s authenticity.

But apart from its original appearance, Pinnacle follows another crucial requirement for a digital agency - their website is 100% mobile-friendly. Because responsive design can help potential clients to explore the work of the agency, gain trust and make decisions, it is essential to have one, especially for creative service providers.

However, to conquer this niche, agencies should think deeper while designing a website. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a top factor to win Google algorithms and therefore gain more traffic and opportunities to convert. A great free tool to consider using when it comes to creating SEO-friendly content is a built-in Insights content analysis tool.

Pozyx

Based in Belgium, Pozyx develops both hardware and software solutions to provide accurate positioning and motion of information for various challenging environments.

Because the specific of the industry is quite difficult to figure out at first, the company supports its message by using various interactive elements. For example, a Video Popup element triggered by clicking on the button above the fold and custom graphics works well to grab attention and provide a glimpse of what the company is dealing with.

Oven Aan, Kom Eraan

This is an online food ordering company based in a small city in the south of the Netherlands. While so many restaurants, pubs, and cafes are still closed, the food delivery industry is full of opportunities. However, to grab the share of this market, you need a feature-rich website, like Oven Aan, Kom Eraan has.

For example, you can start by considering taking advantage of Visual Composer and WooCommerce integration to create your store for online grocery or delivery. With all the basic pages (catalog, single product, shopping cart, and checkout) defined and a touch of customization, it is so easy as it sounds!

We Are Ready To Share Your Story. Are You?

Above we’ve highlighted some works from different business industries to give you a little boost of inspiration and encouragement.

But we are always thriving for new examples for upcoming showcases because our team believes your story is worth sharing. The only question is - do you?

Free vs Premium: Is It Worth Upgrading?

Raitis Sevelis — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 12:15:54 +0000

If you’ve ever considered upgrading from a free version to a premium, you’re probably wondering if it’s worth the investment. The answer is yes! Keep reading for how to determine whether or not your business needs Visual Composer Premium and some of its best features.

Let' start with a simple statement - Visual Composer is for everyone. If you've ever used Visual Composer - you already know that.

While other products raise prices and limit features, we have only expanded the feature list available for free. No surprise that the Visual Composer free version is the most powerful WordPress page builder on the market.

Ok, but if the free version is so good - why do I have to consider premium? The answer is simple.

Once you start your business you need to get online fast. The Visual Composer free version can help you to do just that.

As your business and objectives grow, there are more opportunities and challenges on the horizon. Improve sales funnel, run marketing experiments, incorporate e-commerce, and so on.

This is where the premium version comes into play. Below, I have summarized all differences between the two versions and outlined the benefits of the Premium version.

WordPress Content Editing

The free version of the Visual Composer is a page builder that allows you to edit the content of your page. In WordPress, content is defined by your theme. This means you have a specific block you can edit.

But what if you want to edit something that is beyond the content? For example, a header, or footer.

Visual Composer Premium allows you to edit the whole page. You can choose a layout of your page, create custom headers, footers, sidebars, and create content.

A common practice in e-commerce sites is to reduce distractions on the checkout page. With a custom header created in Visual Composer, you can place only needed elements, like logo, though increasing your conversion rate.

Premium Elements and Templates

Right from the start, you will get 40 free elements and 10 free templates to build your page. The very basic elements, like text blocks, buttons, and separators allow you to build a decent site.

But at some point, you may need more elements. Of course, you can find an add-on or even create your own elements. Yet, there is an easy way out.

Visual Composer Hub is a library available in Visual Composer that gives you access to more elements and templates. To be exact, there are 500+ elements and templates available and the numbers keep on growing.

The best part is that Visual Composer Premium gives you access to all those elements and templates completely free of charge. No download limits applied.

Premium Design Options

All Visual Composer elements come with design options - feature-rich controls to apply background effects.

While the free version covers all the basics, you may want to look into the Premium version to access more styling options and parallax effects.

Plus, as Visual Composer Premium has more elements you can have more styling options.

Premium Addons

Available exclusively to the Premium version, add-ons can significantly increase the number of features.

Tailored for professional web designers and marketers, different add-ons can help you:

Create custom popups;
Create global templates;
Export/Import templates;
Manage element access;
Add dynamic content to your page;
Define your own custom typography;
Create custom layouts;
and more.

And, just like the elements and templates, all addons can be downloaded for free from the Visual Composer Hub with an active Premium subscription.

Visual Composer and WooCommerce

E-commerce is a huge topic these days with everyone wanting to benefit from the online sales boom.

Visual Composer Premium version offers a seamless integration with WooCommerce and other online business tools you may need to start your online store.

Premium Support

Being a premium version user is not only about the elements, templates, and features. As a premium customer, you get a reliable partner that offers premium-class support and assistance whenever you need it.

In fact, over 70% of premium users admit that support availability is one of the key factors when it comes to business sustainability.

Premium Pricing

When talking about premium products, we tend to think about the hundreds of dollars we will have to spend every month. This is surely not the case with Visual Composer.

You can start as low as $49 annually for a single site subscription and enjoy all the premium benefits. Similar tools in other industries may cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

You can also get a lifetime license for $149 so you can pay once and get all features and updates forever.

In fact, the Visual Composer Premium subscription costs around 4 Big Macs from McDonald's

Plus, with a 30 days refund guarantee you are completely risk-free.

Summary

Visual Composer Premium offers great price vs benefit value to anyone who wants to improve their website. There are no additional fees. Plus, with regular feature, element, and template updates you can always stay up to date with the latest trends.

Still not convinced? Check out what our premium users think and go premium.

Raitis Sevelis — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 08:19:58 +0000

Carbonada

Carbonada is a healthy substitute for regular pasta which is perfect for those who are low-carb or want to take care of their weight.

Kosher Charlotte

Kosher Charlotte is the source for the finest and freshest kosher foods and catering service.

You are what you eat. As for a restaurant, you are as good as your food (looks and tastes). And when it comes to a restaurant website, it is crucial to have high-quality photos that look tasty.

Kosher Charlotte takes this into account by building their website around beautiful photos to demonstrate their cuisine.

In addition, a simple structure allows visitors to access their menu, review, and location in no time. What else do you need from a good restaurant website?

Cambrionix

Cambrionix lets you charge, connect, and manage mobile devices. The company offers managed industrial USB hubs suitable for scaling your product range.

A business website like Cambrionix should look professional and list all the benefits of the product. Cambrionix achieves it by sticking to the popular and trendy blue-to-yellow color scheme.

In addition, it has a well-structured menu that helps you easily navigate across the site and provides more detailed information as you go through the funnel.
