ibs Fulcro's role: Technical Audit
The Brief
Nippon India Mutual Fund needed a unified, refreshed website UI and UX, built on best-in-class design frameworks to optimize user experience, SEO, and conversions. Before any redesign work could start, ibs Fulcro ran a full technical, structural, and competitive audit of the existing site to establish exactly what was working, what wasn't, and why.
The scope covered seven areas: technical performance across devices, core technology and CMS architecture, UX audit via heat mapping and journey analysis, UI audit with competitive benchmarking, SEO audit covering keyword rankings and technical health, a GA4 analytics configuration review, and data privacy and accessibility compliance.
