Straight talk: If your site is slow, ugly, or—worse—non-existent, you’re lighting cash on fire. The numbers below prove it, and Launchpad fixes it.
1. Who’s Still Invisible?
-
27 % of U.S. small businesses still don’t have a website. wix.com
-
81 % of shoppers research online before buying—even for local purchases. wix.com
Metrotechs reality check: “No site” ≈ “no seat at the table.” Period.
2. First Impressions Are Savage
| Stat | What It Means |
|---|---|
| 94 % of first impressions are design-driven | Appearance = credibility. UserGuiding |
| Users judge a site in 0.05 sec | Blink, decide, bounce. CXL |
| 38 % bail if the layout looks sloppy | Bad design bleeds leads. Saleslion |
Metrotechs fix: Every Launchpad template ships with clean, mobile-first design standards baked in.
3. Speed (Still) Kills Bounce
-
The average mobile page needs 15.3 seconds to load—five times slower than what users tolerate. Think with Google
-
53 % of visitors expect pages to load in <3 seconds; miss that and most will vanish. UserGuiding
How Launchpad helps: NVMe storage + AWS CloudFront puts you in the sub-2 second club out of the box.
4. Design Tweaks That Print Money
-
A simple red “Buy Now” button lifted conversions 34 % in A/B tests. CXL
-
Clear layouts and contrasting CTAs double conversion rates vs. cluttered pages. UserGuiding
Translation: Stop guessing—Launchpad ships with high-contrast CTA presets already tested for lift.
5. Mobile or Bust
-
64.35 % of global web traffic comes from phones (July 2025). Soax
-
57 % of users won’t recommend a business if its mobile site stinks. Springfield Business Journal
Our stance: We design mobile-first; desktops get what’s left—because that’s how customers browse.
6. The Price of Standing Still
The web-hosting market will jump from $149 B in 2025 to $527 B by 2032—talent and infrastructure costs are only going up. Fortune Business Insights
Launchpad flips the script: Enterprise-grade AWS stack, $0 price tag. You focus on revenue; we handle the servers.
7. Quick Wins with Launchpad
| Pain Point | Launchpad Solution |
|---|---|
| No site / outdated site | Spin-up WordPress in 60 s—free, forever |
| Slow load times | NVMe + CloudFront CDN |
| Zero visibility | Rank Math, schema, GA4, Search Console templates pre-installed |
| “I’m not a dev” | Drag-and-drop editing + Metrotechs onboarding video |
Bottom Line
The stats scream one thing: inaction costs more than implementation.
