The Website Design and Develop Process of Fyful
What's the request for Fyful?
Starting the Fyful Project
On September 6, 2024, the team at Fyful reached out to us with a new project request. Just a month earlier, in August 2024, we had successfully completed another website for them, which they were very satisfied with. Thanks to the positive experience, they chose to return to us for their next project.
For this new website, Fyful’s request was clear and well-organized. They provided us with examples of websites they admired: one for its functional features and another for its visual design. Their goal was for us to combine the functionality of one with the design style of the other, creating a website that not only looked great but also performed exactly how they envisioned.
Also, they want to make two language versions of the website, one language is english and the other one is Chinese, which is for their English-speaking and CHinese-speaking Clinets.
Bilingual Website Development
During the planning phase, the Fyful team requested that their new website support two languages: English and Chinese. This was a strategic decision aimed at serving both their English-speaking and Chinese-speaking clients more effectively.
How do we design and develop Fyful?
Content Organization and Planning
After several discussions to fully understand their needs, we sent the Fyful team a Content Request Sheet. Since this project involved building a 54-page website, include product showcase page templates and blog post templates, it was critical to have well-organized content for each page.
The Content Request Sheet helped guide them on what information was needed for every section—such as page titles, descriptions, images, product details, and any special features or functions they wanted to include. Having this structured content not only made the development process more efficient but also ensured that every page would align with their branding and business goals.
Proactive SEO Planning
From our previous experience working with Fyful, we knew they had very high expectations for SEO on their websites. Even though they didn’t specifically mention SEO for this new project, we took the initiative to analyze similar high-performing websites in their industry.
Using this research, we carefully organized targeted keywords for each page of the new site. By planning the SEO structure early, we helped ensure that the website would not only look good and function well but also have a strong foundation to perform successfully in search engines from the moment it launched.
Focus on Website Performance and Speed
Since this project was for a B2B (Business-to-Business) website, the primary goals were to showcase Fyful’s manufacturing capabilities, present their products, and introduce the OEM services they offer to their clients. Additionally, Fyful planned to launch Google Ads campaigns to drive targeted traffic to the new website after it went live.
Since this was a B2B (Business-to-Business) website, its primary goals were to highlight Fyful’s manufacturing expertise, showcase their product line, and promote the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) services they offer to clients. OEM services allow Fyful’s clients to customize products with their own branding, specifications, and packaging while relying on Fyful’s advanced manufacturing capabilities. This is especially valuable for companies that want to expand their product lines quickly without investing heavily in manufacturing infrastructure.
Additionally, Fyful planned to run Google Ads campaigns to drive qualified traffic to the new website after launch.
Because of these goals, website loading speed was a top priority. In today’s digital landscape—especially when advertising is involved—a slow website can lead to significant loss of potential leads. Research shows that if a website takes longer than three seconds to load, the bounce rate (the rate at which visitors leave without interacting) increases dramatically. A slow site can also drive up advertising costs, as platforms like Google may lower the site’s quality score, making ads more expensive.
To ensure optimal performance, we implemented several technical improvements during the development phase:
Optimized all images through advanced compression techniques, reducing file sizes without compromising visual quality.
Enabled lazy loading for images and videos, allowing content to load only as users scroll, which speeds up the initial load time.
Minified CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files to reduce file size and eliminate unnecessary code.
Activated browser caching, allowing repeat visitors to load pages faster without having to re-download site elements.
Selected a high-performance hosting server located close to Fyful’s target markets to ensure quick server response times.
Enabled GZIP compression, allowing faster delivery of website resources by compressing files before transfer.
Designed with a mobile-first approach, guaranteeing a smooth and responsive experience across all devices, especially smartphones.
By applying these optimizations, we made sure that Fyful’s new website would load quickly, perform reliably, and maximize conversion opportunities, helping them get the most out of their future Google Ads campaigns.
Customized Product Showcase Design
For Fyful’s Product Showcase Page, we specifically designed custom sections tailored to their products. Our goal was to make it as easy and intuitive as possible for potential customers to quickly find the information they care about most.
Each product listing was carefully organized to highlight:
Key Specifications: Essential technical details—such as dimensions, materials, capacity, power ratings, and certifications—were presented in a clean, easy-to-scan layout so visitors can get important information at a glance.
Customization Options: Since OEM services are a major part of Fyful’s offerings, each product section included clear customization options. Clients could easily see what aspects of the product could be tailored to their branding or technical requirements (e.g., color choices, branding placement, special features).
Detailed Descriptions and Data Sheets: For clients who require in-depth information, we also provided links or downloadable sections for product data sheets, technical drawings, or spec documentation, ensuring they had access to all critical decision-making materials without needing to reach out separately.
Visual Organization: We used a clean, modern design with icons, bullet points, and collapsible sections to ensure that long technical information didn’t overwhelm the page visually. Important information stood out immediately, while more detailed data could be expanded if needed.
Mobile-Friendly Layout: Knowing that many B2B buyers now research on mobile devices, we made sure the product sections were fully responsive and easy to navigate on both phones and tablets.
By building the Product Showcase Page in this user-focused way, we helped Fyful deliver a professional and frictionless experience — making it easier for potential clients to understand their products, explore customization possibilities, and move forward with business inquiries.
To meet their language request,
Separating Websites and Servers Based on Target Audience Geolocation
To effectively meet Fyful’s language needs and provide an optimized user experience, we decided to separate the website and web servers based on the geographical location of their target audience. This approach offers Fyful several key advantages:
Optimized User Experience: By hosting the English version of the website (Fyful.com) on a server that caters to a global audience and the Chinese version (Fyful.cn) on a server closer to their Chinese-speaking clients, we ensure faster loading times and improved performance for users in both regions.
Enhanced SEO Performance: With servers located closer to the target audience, search engines can crawl and index the websites more effectively. This setup improves local SEO rankings, allowing Fyful to rank higher in both English-language (Google) and Chinese-language (Baidu) search results. It also reduces latency, ensuring that both versions of the website load quickly, lowering bounce rates and boosting engagement.
By setting up separate servers for different regions, Fyful can maintain a high-performing, regionally optimized experience that aligns with their SEO strategy and enhances the user journey.
Fyful.com and Fyful.cn: Two Domains, One Purpose
Fyful.com: Targeted at Fyful’s global English-speaking audience.
Fyful.cn: Dedicated to their Chinese-speaking clients, primarily in China and surrounding areas.
Although the websites share the same structure and design, the key difference is the language: Fyful.com is in English, while Fyful.cn is in Chinese. This strategic separation allows Fyful to:
Maximize SEO Performance: By maintaining two separate domains, Fyful can optimize each website for its respective search engine—Google for Fyful.com and Baidu for Fyful.cn. This approach improves visibility in local search results, making it easier for users to find Fyful’s products in both English-speaking and Chinese-speaking markets.
Boost Website Speed: To provide the best experience for each audience, Fyful set up distinct servers located close to their primary user base. This minimizes latency and improves load times, which is particularly important in markets like China where fast website performance is essential for retaining visitors.
Personalized Content and Marketing: With separate domains, Fyful can tailor their content, marketing strategies, and promotional efforts to the preferences and cultural nuances of each audience. This allows them to create a highly localized experience for both English and Chinese-speaking clients.
By implementing Fyful.com and Fyful.cn as separate websites, Fyful can offer superior website performance, targeted SEO strategies, and a customized user experience, ensuring that both their English and Chinese-speaking clients receive the best browsing experience.
Language Switch Feature for Enhanced Accessibility
To further improve user experience, we included a language switch toggle in the website menu, labeled 中文/EN. This simple yet effective feature allows users to easily switch between the Chinese and English versions of the site.
中文 links to fyful.cn, the Chinese-language version of the site.
EN links to fyful.com, the English-language version.
This feature ensures that users can seamlessly switch to their preferred language, making the website more accessible and user-friendly for both Chinese-speaking and English-speaking audiences.

Final Setup and Website Launch
After receiving final approval for the website design, we completed several crucial setup steps to ensure the site’s optimal performance, security, and usability. Here’s a breakdown of what was done:
-
Business Email Setup: We configured their business email system, allowing Fyful to send and receive emails directly from their website. This ensures all communication related to inquiries, orders, and customer support is streamlined and professional.
-
Security Measures with reCAPTCHA: To prevent unwanted or malicious traffic, we implemented Google reCAPTCHA. This tool blocks bots and prevents spam, ensuring that only real users can submit forms or interact with key website features like contact forms and quote requests.
-
WhatsApp Integration: A WhatsApp floating icon was added to the site, offering a convenient way for visitors to get in touch instantly. This allows Fyful’s clients to contact them directly via WhatsApp, enhancing customer service and improving communication.
Backend Optimization for Performance, Speed, and Security
The backend optimizations were designed to ensure that the website operates smoothly, quickly, and securely, particularly for the international audience Fyful targets. The following steps were taken:
-
Content Delivery Network (CDN): We set up a CDN to distribute the website’s content across multiple servers located around the world. This ensures that users experience fast loading times, no matter their location, by serving the website from the server closest to them. By reducing server load times, the website’s performance is significantly improved, especially for global visitors.
-
SSL Encryption: We implemented SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to ensure that the website is secure for all users. SSL encrypts all data transferred between the user’s browser and the website, protecting sensitive information like personal details and payment data. This not only boosts security but also improves trust with visitors, as they see the padlock icon in the browser’s address bar, indicating that the site is secure.
-
Optimizing Website Speed:
-
Image Optimization: We compressed and optimized all images without sacrificing quality. This reduces the page load time by minimizing file sizes while keeping images sharp and clear. This is crucial for maintaining fast loading speeds, especially when visitors are accessing the site from mobile devices.
-
Minified CSS, JavaScript, and HTML: We minified the site’s code by removing unnecessary characters, whitespace, and comments. This reduces the file sizes and ensures quicker page rendering, which enhances both the site’s performance and user experience.
-
Lazy Loading: For images and videos, we implemented lazy loading. This means that media files only load when they come into view as the user scrolls down the page, which helps speed up the initial load time of the website.
-
-
Server Location and Configuration: Fyful’s website is hosted on servers strategically located to best serve their target audience. For example, the Chinese version of the site (Fyful.cn) is hosted on a local server in China, optimizing performance for the Chinese market. Similarly, Fyful.com’s English-language version is hosted on servers closer to their global audience, ensuring low latency and fast loading speeds.
-
Database Optimization: We optimized the database by cleaning up redundant data, indexing key tables, and reducing query times. A well-optimized database ensures faster website response times, particularly as the website grows and accumulates more data over time.
-
Caching for Faster Load Times: We set up browser caching and server-side caching to ensure that visitors can load pages faster on subsequent visits. When users return to the site, cached resources like images, scripts, and stylesheets don’t have to be re-downloaded, speeding up the page load time significantly.
-
GZIP Compression: We enabled GZIP compression, which compresses the files sent from the server to the user’s browser. This reduces the amount of data being transferred, improving load times and helping users access the website faster, even with slower internet connections.
By implementing these backend optimizations, we ensured that Fyful’s website performs at its best—fast, secure, and responsive, offering an optimal experience for both their English and Chinese-speaking audiences. These measures also contribute to better SEO and user engagement, which are essential for driving traffic and conversion rates.
Website Index and Traffic
Upon launching Fyful’s new websites, all pages for both fyful.com and fyful.cn were successfully indexed by Google and Bing within the first week, marking an immediate step toward improving organic visibility.
Shortly after, Fyful launched their advertisement campaigns, significantly boosting their website traffic. While the early SEO results were promising, it’s important to note that the data we gathered for fyful.com and fyful.cn may not fully reflect organic search performance due to the substantial impact of the advertising campaigns.
As a result, the traffic spikes seen in the reports can be largely attributed to the ads, rather than purely organic search traffic. This means that while SEO efforts are progressing well, the advertising campaigns are driving a significant portion of the traffic during this early phase.
How to maintain the website?
Training and Ongoing Support
Since Fyful has their own dedicated website management team, we provided them with comprehensive website training to ensure their team can independently handle day-to-day operations. This training covered everything from website updates to managing content, ensuring that they feel confident in maintaining the site moving forward.
However, we understand that not every business has an in-house website management team. That’s why, for businesses in need of ongoing support, we offer tailored training and support packages. If you don’t have a dedicated team, we recommend our Website Maintenance Package, which starts at just $10 per month. This package includes:
Regular backend monitoring to ensure your website is running smoothly and securely.
Updates for software, plugins, and security patches to keep your site up-to-date and protected.
Ongoing support for any issues or changes you may need assistance with.
By providing this flexible and affordable option, we ensure that your website is always performing at its best, allowing you to focus on growing your business without worrying about the technical details.
