Case study Website performance and SEO

How Provis fixed, extended and sped up the course-selling website of a Delhi-based education business.

Skillzcafe sells online courses at different prices. Its website needed corrections, new pages, better SEO and strong performance scores for its marketing campaigns. Provis fixed the site, built the campaign pages and worked on search visibility and speed.

The situation

A course shop that had to carry marketing campaigns.

Skillzcafe is an education website that sells online courses at different prices. Its client is a Delhi-based business owner.

The business ran marketing campaigns for activities such as yoga programmes and other events. For those, the site had to work properly, have a page for each activity, be easy to find in search and load fast on phones and on desktop.

How the site stood before the work, and what was missing.

The problems, and what fixed each

Fix the site, build the pages, then make it fast.

The three jobs on the website, and what Provis did for each.

    The website needed corrections before it could carry marketing campaigns.

    What Provis builtFixes on the existing site

    Provis fixed the issues on the existing website.

  2. No pages for activities and campaigns

    Campaigns for activities such as yoga programmes and other events need a page to send people to.

    What Provis builtNew pages for activities and campaigns

    Provis built new pages for the activities and campaigns, and supported the landing pages for them.

  3. Low performance scores and weak search visibility

    The performance scores started around 30 to 40, and the client wanted 100 on mobile and on desktop to support its campaigns.

    What Provis builtSEO improvements and performance work

    Provis improved the pages for search-engine visibility and optimised the website's performance.

How the work ran

How Provis approaches a website that has to carry campaigns.

  1. Discovery and auditProvis looks at what exists today, and agrees with you what to fix or build first
  2. Build or fixThe work is done in small pieces you can see and review as they land
  3. Test and launchEverything is checked on phones and desktops, and on real data, before it goes live
  4. SupportAfter launch Provis monitors, fixes and improves, around the clock
  • Measure first: speed and search checks show what is slowing the site and what is hiding it from search.

  • Fix and build: the existing pages are corrected, and each campaign gets a landing page of its own.

  • Prove it: scores are checked again on phone and desktop after the changes, so the result is a number, not a guess.

Our approach:

Measure, fix, then measure again.

Speed and search work only counts if it shows up in the scores, so Provis checks before and after.

Every Provis build comes with 24/7 monitoring and support after launch.
