Problem
Meridian's existing site was built during fundraising and optimized for investors, not buyers. Demo conversion rate was 1.2% — well below their market benchmark of 3–4%. The site had seven competing CTAs above the fold, none of which were for demos.
Approach
Complete information architecture rethink, new messaging hierarchy, and a full rebuild in Next.js with an edge CDN. Added a qualification flow to the demo request form to improve lead quality alongside volume. Removed five of the seven CTAs.
