The Challenge
DataTel 360, a rapidly growing telecommunications and IT services provider, approached Websleagues with a clear problem: their online presence no longer aligned with their evolving brand and service offerings. The company’s previous website was outdated, difficult to navigate, and lacked the modern aesthetic that would attract and engage potential customers.
Key Challenges:
- Outdated User Interface (UI): The design was not in line with modern web design trends and user expectations, which led to a high bounce rate.
- Poor User Experience (UX): Visitors struggled to find essential information such as service offerings, pricing, and contact details. The website lacked intuitive navigation and a clear call to action.
- Mobile Unfriendliness: The website was not fully responsive, making it difficult to access on mobile devices, which are a significant portion of their web traffic.
- Branding Mismatch: DataTel 360 had a new, more vibrant branding strategy that wasn’t reflected on the website, creating a disconnect between their online presence and their identity.
- SEO Issues: The old website lacked proper SEO optimization, which hindered DataTel 360’s ability to be discovered online by new customers.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Websleagues took a comprehensive, user-centered approach to redesign DataTel 360’s website, focusing on both aesthetics and functionality.

- The new design incorporated DataTel 360’s updated branding, with vibrant colors, modern fonts, and updated graphics that reflect the company’s innovative and forward-thinking ethos. This helped bridge the gap between the company’s services and the digital experience they offered to users.
- Conversion Optimization:
- We added clear calls to action throughout the website, such as “Get a Quote” and “Contact Us” buttons, to guide visitors toward making inquiries or converting into clients.
