“92% of B2B marketing campaigns struggle with website-related issues. Most sites were never designed for a B2B funnel. Every phase matters to build trust before a prospect even agrees to a demo.”

Examples

Your funnel is won or lost in the details

Many teams focus on CRO basics. They test headlines and USPs, or make pages load faster. But they still miss leads because of details that go beyond the basics. These details sit between design and marketing, so nobody owns them and they rarely get discussed.

Up to 50% of conversions are lost in details that rarely get the attention they need

Preloader animation. A forced intro delays the first paint. Paid visitors never wait, and you paid for every click they abandon.

Button “Submit”. Submit says nothing about what happens next. Fewer visitors click, and the ones who do arrive with the wrong expectations.

Book a demo form ending in a plain red button labelled Submit

Competing links on an ad LP. Every extra link leaks attention from the offer, and conversions fall with each one. On paid traffic, one page and one action wins.

Hamburger menu. Hiding the menu on desktop buries your key pages. Fewer visitors find them, so fewer reach the offer.

“Contact” as a main CTA. Contact asks for effort with no clear payoff. The primary CTA should name the one action the whole site drives toward.

Product hero whose main call to action is a low-intent Contact Us button

Smooth scroll. Paid visitors scan fast and want to control the page. Smooth scrolling slows them down, and no serious site runs it.

Editorial page that relies on hijacked smooth scrolling between sections

No lead form in the hero of an ad LP. Paid visitors land ready to act. With no form in the hero they must hunt, and most never scroll.

Ad landing page hero with only a headline and no lead form in view

No final CTA on product pages. A page that ends with no next step stalls the journey. Readers finish, then simply leave.

Page that ends in a footer with no closing call to action

And many other details. These are random problems, but common ones. A typical B2B site carries dozens of blockers like them.

Expertise

I fix the main website problems that hold back your growth

01

Low conversion rate

A low number is easy to spot. The hard part is figuring out why: unclear value prop, wrong page structure, overcomplicated design, weak CTAs, no social proof. It’s rarely one thing.

02

Poor lead quality

When a page doesn’t clearly explain your product’s value and who it’s for, it attracts the wrong people. Your sales team wastes time on leads that were never going to close.

03

Looks like a startup

A B2B buyer does not forgive inconsistency. Your ads, landing pages, and every page on the site look and sound slightly different. That signals immaturity. And immaturity signals risk.

04

No pages built for ads

You spend on marketing but send traffic to pages that were never optimized for it. Every page that takes paid traffic has its own checklist, whether it’s a product LP, a case study, a lead magnet, or a demo request page. They all matter.

“Most CRO specialists hand you a raw checklist. I came to CRO from designing & testing the actual solutions in real B2B marketing campaigns. So I show you what’s wrong, why it happens, and how to fix it. A decade of optimizing pages for marketing funnels taught me what moves the numbers, what really blocks results, and what’s just decoration.”

Case studies

Client results and the steps behind them

August Health

Audit & phased optimization to fix marketing performance without a rebuild

August Health's site was built by a strong third-party studio, and it looked great. People praised it and the feedback was positive. But it was never built to convert. Once marketing campaigns started, that became the problem. The question was how to make it perform.

I started with a full audit of every website page and every ad landing page. The goal was better results through quick, targeted, high-impact changes, with no rebuild. I ranked every finding by impact and effort, so the quick wins came first. After reviewing the audit, the client decided to hand the optimization to me as well. We adjusted the plan together, set the order of work, and started with the first stage.

First I removed the small but critical flaws that were dragging every metric down. I started with the HubSpot form integration, which made the form impossible to submit on some screen sizes. Then page speed, then the animation, which I simplified so it stopped interfering with conversion, and the navigation, which had no primary CTA. These changes alone cut bounce rate and lifted form completion before anything was redesigned.

There was no demo page at all. Every CTA opened a popup form, so the request had no URL behind it. In B2B several people approve the decision, and they need something to forward to a colleague. A popup gives them nothing. So I built a dedicated book a demo page and simplified the path to it: a CTA in the header of every product page, a CTA at the end of every page, clearer navigation and proper cross-linking between product pages.

The homepage also received paid traffic, so I treated it as a landing page. I moved social proof above the fold and put case studies and results directly on the page. Then I set up a way to test different structures and found the version with the best balance of length and value for the buyer.

Last, I set up a landing page engine for ads, not just a set of templates. It covers every stage of the funnel: awareness, consideration and conversion. The sections are modular, so the marketing team assembles a campaign page from proven blocks, matches the message to the ad, and launches it the same day. Every test result goes back into the blocks, so the engine gets better with each campaign.

Audit-based redesign brief to avoid repeating critical mistakes and prepare for growth

The old site was built by Hanover Park's own in-house team. A redesign was planned before a funding round, and the new site had to support the growth after it: more campaigns, more pages, more tests. Before starting, they wanted an independent review. The goal was to know which mistakes not to repeat, and how to make the new site outperform the old one.

The team that built the old site was too close to it to see why it underperformed. I reviewed the site against two goals: conversion rate, and the resources it took to run it, publish new pages and test landing pages. I wrote every finding as a rule for the new site, not as a complaint about the old one. That became the brief.

Sometimes less is better, and this was that case. The old site was full of complex illustrations, several typefaces, many colors and heavy section layouts. All of it cost time on every new page and performed worse than simpler solutions. So I opened the brief with a list of what to avoid, and what to do instead.

The old site had no system behind its pages and sections. I made this a key part of the brief: simplify the site structure, avoid third and fourth level pages, simplify navigation, and build a library of reusable components the team can assemble new pages from.

The old demo page had many sections, extra links, full navigation and a long form. I recommended the opposite: one page focused on the form and on the reason to fill it in. Less navigation, fewer sections, a shorter form. Looking back, that single page became the biggest win of the whole redesign.

CRO-based rebrand & full redesign to turn 300+ pages into one system that converts

Limble had the scale of a market leader and the brand of a small startup. Ads ran on landing pages built outside the site, so the message changed at every step toward a demo. I rebuilt it as one system with their team.

I started by auditing the site and the brand, including the ad landing pages their marketing agency produced. The brand looked different in social, on the site and in ads. Paid traffic went to pages that were never built to convert. There were no use case pages, no structure for case studies and weak lead magnet pages. At that scale, inconsistency reads as risk to a B2B buyer.

After the audit I decided to build a solid foundation instead of patching. We started from zero with their team: brand, section structure, site architecture, page templates, social media templates. Every decision was made with conversion in mind, and so the system stays cheap to maintain, easy to manage and simple to scale.

Then we moved the site to Webflow and used what the platform is good at. The whole site is assembled from reusable components, so one change lands everywhere at once and every new page inherits it.

I built a template for each type of page: product pages, use cases, lead magnet landing pages and case studies. The marketing team creates them without a designer or a developer.

The system lets the team build a new page in minutes. They launch tests when they think of them, not next quarter. Adding new products, use cases, case studies and lead magnets works the same way.

Approach

Your website should work as a sales engine, not a bottleneck

1

Basics first

80% of the result comes from fundamentals: navigation, typography, page structure, must-have section elements. Get these right and everything else follows.

2

Best practices over the trends

Your buyers expect familiar patterns that help them evaluate your product. Don't reinvent the wheel. Choose from what's already proven to work.

3

Always simplify

From user flows to messaging, simpler always wins. B2B products are high-value but complex to explain. Multiple decision-makers need to see your product the same way.

4

System equals growth

From automation to templates, every phase of the funnel should be covered and ready to use. Your marketing team can launch any initiative in minutes, not weeks.

Use cases

Different needs and questions. The same value and clarity.

Get more demos from the traffic you already pay for

You’ll know exactly where the site loses leads, how to fix each one, and what to do first. I go through every page and every ad LP, then write the fixes so design, copy or dev can pick them up.

  • Every page on the site, plus every ad LP
  • Each blocker described, why it hurts and how to fix
  • Prioritized by impact and effort
  • Quick wins your team ships this week
  • A walkthrough video, not just a file

Start the redesign with a plan and a checklist, not a moodboard

You’ll know which parts of the old site cost you leads, which parts to keep, and what the new one has to do better. I write it as a brief your team or your agency can design from.

  • What to keep, what to drop, what to rebuild
  • Rules for the new site, not a list of complaints
  • Site structure and page templates mapped
  • Mistakes caught before they get designed
  • A brief your team or agency can build from

Fix the funnel before you pour new budget into it

You’ll know what the site can carry, what breaks at higher volume, and what to fix before the spend goes up. I check every page and every ad LP against the new targets, not the old ones.

  • The funnel checked against your new targets
  • What breaks when traffic goes up
  • Pages missing for new audiences and markets
  • A plan you can run in the first 90 days
  • A way to launch pages without a designer

See what your site and your agency actually deliver

You’ll know how the site performs, how the ad landing pages your agency builds perform, and what to improve first. An outside read, with no pitch for a rebuild you don’t need.

  • Your site and your agency ad pages, both read
  • Where the biggest opportunities are
  • What it takes to reach them, in time and money
  • What to ask for at the next review
  • A plan you can hand over as is

Give the client more value and get better numbers yourself

You’ll know why the traffic you send converts badly, and whether it’s the page, the offer or the flow. Your client gets more value from the same budget, and your campaigns get the numbers to show for it. Bring the findings back in your name if you prefer.

  • Findings you can show the client as is
  • The page, the offer or the flow, named
  • Fixes your team or theirs can build
  • Proof the campaigns are not the problem
  • White label if you need it

Design sites that get results, not just compliments

Your client expects results, not just a better looking site. You’ll know what to improve, what to avoid, and how to plan the design so it converts in B2B. Before you start drawing, or on the pages you already shipped.

  • A plan before you design, or a read after
  • B2B specifics in layout, typography, animation, etc.
  • Patterns that convert, with real examples
  • Why each change works, so you can defend it
  • Results your client can see, not just a new look

About me

Developer skills. Designer thinking. CRO expertise.

2015

Developer start

Started at a marketing agency as a developer building landing pages for email campaigns. Began noticing weaknesses in the designs handed to me, and suggesting changes that improved results.

2018

Design focus

Shifted fully to design for more influence on decision-making, owning both design and development of marketing pages. Kept testing, learning and building a library of what actually works.

2022

CRO impact

Started running audits for B2B agency clients. Those audits became the foundation for fundamental website changes. Client feedback and real impact showed me where I deliver the most value.

2026

Tailored solutions

Realized agency clients don’t get the attention they deserve. Went independent to focus on tailored CRO audits and design consulting for B2B brands.

Why me

My decade of practical lessons is your biggest advantage

  • 100% value

    I’m the source, not the middleman. You work directly with me, no project managers, no onboarding, no ramp-up. Simple process to focus on delivering value from day one.

  • B2B experience

    I’m not a generalist. I’ve spent 10 years learning from B2B marketing results. I know what it takes to build trust with an audience that doesn’t convert overnight, and to predict marketing needs.

  • Marketing results

    I’ve never designed just to make it cool. My work has always been measured by marketing results. Designing pages, studying test outcomes, and iterating based on what worked.

  • Design expertise & taste

    I don’t just identify what’s wrong. I provide clear direction on how to fix it: what to change, how it should look, and why it will work better.

  • Developer background

    I understand the scope of every change, which allows me to prioritize what will move the needle without draining your team’s resources.

  • Holistic approach

    I never look at a single page in isolation. Most conversion problems aren’t on one page. They’re in the gaps between them.

FAQ

All details explained

Artem Basiuk is a CRO and design consultant for B2B marketing teams. He has 10+ years of hands-on experience as both a designer and a developer in marketing agencies, and has evolved into CRO while improving the performance of 140+ B2B websites. He is from Ukraine, based in Cyprus, and works globally, with most clients in the US.

Artem Basiuk offers three services: CRO audits, conversion-focused web design, and ongoing CRO and design support. The audit is the main one, because it’s where he delivers the most value per hour of work. He also takes on a limited number of web design projects, and works with some clients on ongoing optimization as a monthly retainer.

A CRO audit is a structured review of a website that finds what stops visitors from converting and sets out how to fix it. It covers the pages that carry your funnel, names each problem, shows a concrete fix, and ranks the work by impact and effort.

A CRO audit includes a detailed report covering every page reviewed, with specific findings, a real example of how to fix each issue, and a prioritized action plan. A video walkthrough comes with it, so the reasoning behind each recommendation does not get lost in translation.

You need a CRO audit when your marketing spend is growing faster than your results, or when you are about to change something big on the site. Six situations come up most often:

  1. You run B2B marketing and the traffic you already pay for is not turning into demos. The audit names where the site loses leads and what to fix first.
  2. You’re planning a redesign and need a brief, not a moodboard. The audit says what to keep, what to drop, and what the new site has to do better.
  3. You’re preparing for a funding round and the spend is about to go up. The audit shows what breaks at higher volume and what to fix in the first 90 days.
  4. You’re management and want an outside read on what the site and the agency actually deliver, with no pitch for a rebuild you don’t need.
  5. You’re a marketing agency and the traffic you send converts badly. The audit names whether it’s the page, the offer or the flow, and you can bring the findings back in your own name.
  6. You’re a designer whose client expects results, not just a better looking site. The audit shows which patterns convert in B2B and why, so you can defend every change.

A CRO audit is for B2B marketing teams, design teams and founders who want more from the traffic they already pay for. It also works for marketing agencies who need an independent diagnosis of a client’s site, and for designers whose clients now expect results, not just compliments.

A CRO audit starts at $5,000 and takes 7 days. If you need more than a plan, a conversion-focused redesign averages $10,000 and up for an 8 week sprint, with the implementation included. If you want ongoing optimization, design review and confidence that the numbers keep moving, support runs at $7,500 per month with a 3-month minimum. Custom scopes get priced on the call.

A CRO audit takes 7 to 10 business days, depending on how many pages the site has. You get the exact delivery date right after the first call, once Artem understands the scope and what you need from it.

Most CRO audits are just a list of findings: no priority, no explanation of why each one costs conversions, no direction on how to fix it. Artem’s audit is a prioritized, actionable plan, where every finding comes with the reason it hurts and a fix clear enough to implement. That comes from 10 years of designing those pages, not from running a checklist.

No, implementation isn’t part of the audit. The audit is written so your own team can ship everything on their own. If you’d rather not do it in-house, Artem takes on execution as a separate project, or as ongoing monthly support covering design, dev review and page by page optimization.

No. Artem runs audits and design work for DTC and ecommerce just as well. B2B is the specialization because the cost of a weak page is higher there: fewer visitors, larger deals and a long sales cycle mean one lost lead can be worth more than a hundred abandoned carts.

There are two ways to start. If you already know you want the audit, order it now and the full report arrives in 7 days. If you would rather understand the audit first, or you need more than an audit, book a discovery call and Artem works out the right scope with you.

Not the full audit, but yes, a free first read. Book a discovery call with a link to your site and Artem reviews your pages beforehand, so you hear real findings about your own site on the call. By the end you know whether a full audit is worth paying for.
