Website 2.5 is launchedBack in 2017, we created a simple website to manage the fuzz we started generating with our innovative car wash service. The design was about the same level as GoogleMyBusiness offers you - lack of visual elements, a lot of text in your face, and you could tell within first 3 seconds that it's an early stage startup. It was a MVP by the definition. Yet it did it's job at the time which was to be discoverable on Google search. Design and development budget: 0€ - built in house. Around came the "Ajujaht" and our website started serving a more important purpose - build trust and credibility. That's when we switched things up and put time into it - learning about SEO, having a digital marketing intern drive ppc traffic, collecting emails with witty little pop-ups, and providing more insight for customers that hadn't made their first order yet. Taking multiple steps forward and we called that website 2.0. Design and development budget: 0€ - built in house. Welcome to 2020! UpSteam is active on three markets, have raised over 1.6 million euros of capital in total, and is valued at 14 million. Building credibility and capturing new unique customers is still an important task of our website but there's more to it. We are striving for strong international brand and our old website just wasn't up to the task any more. We have always done things frugally and the startup way - doing a lot with little. Being frugal helps us navigate through bullshit and drive innovation which is important trait of UpSteam in every department. (domain host and other subscriptions etc. are not included in the budget calculation.) Introducing our website - version 2.5 Design and development budget: 0€ - built in house! You should just check out our page yourself by clicking on the logo... after reading this of course. The main purpose for a redesign is our need for clarity in customer experience and connection in systems. New design provides most important information at the right time for the right person while making it easier to consume. We have gone from simply providing information (like wikipedia) to potential conversion machine (only time will tell though).
The new design is slowly rolling out for all our markets and will be fully implemented by the end of July (Finnish web is also up). Until that, we hope for your patience. You can still share your thought and needs about the new website in the comment section - maybe we are still missing something.
