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

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

Bottom Line

The stats scream one thing: inaction costs more than implementation.
