The Speed Problem

Your website takes 5 seconds to load. Your competitor's takes 2 seconds. Which one gets the customer?

Studies show:

Why Speed Matters to Google

Google ranks fast sites higher. If your site is slow, you're invisible on page 2+ of search results. And nobody clicks page 2.

Speed Matters on Mobile (Especially)

Mobile connections are slower. A site that loads in 2 seconds on desktop might take 8 on mobile. Your customers aren't waiting. They're leaving.

What We Do Differently

At Illucid Design, speed is built in. We optimize images, minimize code, and use fast hosting. Your site loads in under 2 seconds on any device.

Not only does it convert better — Google ranks it higher, too.
