<h3>How it Happened</h3>
<p>The largest contributor to the increase website leads (form submissions) was the launch of a new website on May 20 that was much more user friendly and optimized to increase calls, conversions, and reduce the website bounce rate (a website’s bounce rate is the percentage of users who arrive at the home page and then leave the website without navigating to further pages).</p>
<p>They have also seen a noticeable increase in phone calls and mentions of the website.</p>
<h2 class="clearfix">95% increase in Website Traffic (unique visitors)</h2>
