Barnaby Nagy

$2.5M → $5M annual sales (2X)

Caltech, a renowned private research university in California, operated an Executive and Professional Education department that relied on manual course sales conducted via email. This approach generated approximately $2.5M annually with a 1% conversion rate.

Challenge

Manual sales process: Time-consuming and resource-intensive.
Limited scalability: Growth was constrained by the manual nature of sales.
User Experience: The website did not support seamless, automated course enrollment.
Goal: Enhance the website’s user experience and automate course sales to drive growth.

Solution

Information Architecture: Removed clutter, simplified course info and sitemap.
User Experience: Improved navigation, course filtering, and streamlined checkout.
Technology: Implemented end-to-end automation for course sales and enrollment with Adobe Commerce.

Results

Revenue doubled after transitioning to an automated, user-friendly eCommerce website.
Conversion rate increased from 1% to 2%, reflecting improved engagement and ease of purchase.
Scalability and efficiency were significantly enhanced, freeing staff for higher-value activities.
