Solutions · Analytics & measurement · Built by Weber

We measure first, then we build.

Most shops redesign your website and hope it worked. We do it the other way around. Before we change a single thing, we stand up a real analytics stack and take a baseline. From then on, every change gets weighed against a number we recorded, not a hunch we had.

This is the digital foundation: the stack and the baseline behind your website. (Want your print pieces to report the same way? That is a separate sheet, Print That Reports Back.) The stack is the same whatever you sell; the glass manufacturer is just where the numbers were proven.

Measure my site first
  • Baselinestood up before we touch the site, so every later change is measured against a real starting number
  • +61.5%engaged visitors for one manufacturer once we could see and fix what stopped them

    742 to 1,198 engaged users, month over month

  • 4 toolswired into one view: GA4, Microsoft Clarity, your email platform, and a custom plugin we write
  • Ad-blockedvisitors still counted, because our plugin logs events on the server, not just in the browser

Why it matters

You cannot improve what you never measured.

A lot of sites get redesigned on taste. Someone likes the new look, it goes live, and nobody can say whether it actually did more business than the old one. The redesign might have helped. It might have hurt. Without a baseline, you are guessing either way.

We took over a glass manufacturer's site that had no analytics of any kind. No baseline, no heatmaps, no record of what a visitor did or where they gave up. So before we changed a thing, we built the way to measure it. That is the order we work in every time: measure, then build, so the site can prove it earned the change.

Every number we report is measured against a baseline we built.

What we stand up

Four meters, wired into one honest view.

None of these is exotic on its own. The value is in wiring them together and reading them straight, so you can watch real behavior instead of guessing at it.

  • Google Analytics 4: the traffic, the channels, and where people drop off before they act.
  • Microsoft Clarity: heatmaps and full session recordings, so we can see exactly what a visitor did on the page.
  • Your email platform: opens, clicks, and where each send actually points people, tied into the same picture.
  • A custom plugin we write: it logs events on your own server, so it counts even the visitors whose browsers block analytics. Most stacks never see those people. Ours does.

How it works

Measure, watch, change, then measure again.

Here is the order we work in on every project.

  1. 1

    We take the baseline

    We install the full stack against your own accounts and let it record before we change anything. Now there is a real starting line: what visitors do today, and where they give up today.

  2. 2

    We watch where people get stuck

    The recordings and heatmaps show the exact spots people give up. For the manufacturer, the data kept flagging the same two problems: a registration screen that interrupted people mid-browse, and visitors who never scrolled past the top of the page. We fixed those first, in the order the data ranked them.

  3. 3

    We change one thing and measure the move

    Each change is weighed against the baseline, so we can say what moved the number and what did not. When a rebuilt search page had not lifted its number yet, we said so, out loud, with the next thing to test. That is what honest measurement looks like.

  4. 4

    We sit down and read it with you

    Every month we go through the results together and pick the next thing to fix. The site keeps climbing because the measuring never stops.

Two ways to start

Instrument first, or rebuild on top of it.

The foundation is the same either way. Start by putting a meter under the site you already have, or have us stand up the measurement and rebuild the site on top of it.

  • Start here

    The foundation, on your current site

    For when you want to see the truth before you spend on a redesign.

    • We install GA4, Microsoft Clarity, and our custom server-side event plugin against your own accounts.
    • We record a real baseline and hand you a plain-English read of what your site does today.
    • You find out where visitors actually give up, before anyone touches the design.
  • Full build

    The foundation, then the rebuild

    For a website you want measured, rebuilt, and proven, all under one roof.

    • Everything in the foundation, plus a rebuild that fixes the biggest problems first, in the order the data ranks them.
    • Every change weighed against the baseline, reported straight: what moved, what did not, what is next.
    • A standing monthly review where we read the numbers together and choose the next fix.

    One manufacturer took this path and grew engaged visitors 61.5% month over month.

Where it came from

A site with no analytics, turned into one we could measure.

A glass manufacturer handed us a website with no analytics at all. So we built the measurement before we built anything else, then let it point us at the work.

Once we could see the real behavior, the fixes were obvious and the numbers followed. Saves to the site's on-site collections jumped 164% in a single month after we shipped the tool the data told us to build, from 49 to 129. Active users rose 27.7% the first full month the redesign was live. Engaged visitors climbed 61.5% month over month, from 742 to 1,198. Every one of those is measured against the baseline we took on day one, which is the only reason we can stand behind it.

We report what moves the number and what doesn't. Both are the job.

Who else this works for

A glass manufacturer proved it, but any site owner can use it.

Nothing about this stack is specific to glass. Every business with a website has visitors who give up somewhere, and almost none of them can point to where. If you are about to spend on a redesign, or you just want to know whether the site you have is earning its keep, the same measure-first order sets you up to answer that with a number instead of a hunch.

  • Construction and excavation: a project inquiry is worth real money, so watch exactly where a prospect abandons the quote form before you rebuild it.
  • Home services and HVAC: most of your leads start on the site, so a baseline tells you whether a redesign actually books more calls or just looks better.
  • Healthcare and senior living: families research quietly and leave without a word, and session recordings show you the pages where they hesitate and drop off.
  • Insurance and banks: long forms and rate pages are where people bail, and server-side logging counts the ad-blocked visitors your current analytics never see.
  • Manufacturers and distributors: a low-traffic B2B site hides its problems in small numbers, so a real meter is the only way to tell a fix from a coincidence.
  • Any multi-location operator: the same baseline lets you compare one location's site behavior against another and put your budget where the data ranks it.

More on this

Measurement is how we work, not an upsell.

Wiring a real meter under the work is a habit here, not a special request. See where this one came from, and what it connects to.

Want to know if your website actually works?

We can put a real meter under the site you have now and show you where visitors give up, before anyone argues about a redesign. Tell us what you want the site to do, and we will stand up the measurement to prove whether it does.
