The VITO Fryfilter transformation: how a credibility engine—not “just a redesign”—turned a premium ghost into a trusted U.S. market leader.
Trust is the only currency in B2B. No trust, no sale. VITO Fryfilter was a German market leader, but inside the U.S.? Invisible. Premium hardware. Zero proof. Their site looked 15 years old, broke on mobile, and screamed “risk.”
Six Google reviews. Three were internal employees. If a skeptical U.S. buyer can’t find proof, nothing moves forward. My job wasn’t to polish pixels—it was to create a machine that manufactures credibility on command.
Developers start with fonts and colors. I start with the question: “What makes a U.S. operator trust enough to act?” That thinking produced three pillars—foundation, brand, and proof—that informed every line of code.
Architecture convinces people before they read a single headline. Without it, design is theater.
Every millisecond signals competence. I ripped out their brittle CMS and rebuilt everything in Liquid with pragmatic HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. Instant loads. Clean flows. Frictionless conversions. Before anyone reads copy, the experience whispers: “we’ve got this handled.”
If the site feels slow, dated, or confusing, no testimonial in the world can compensate. Performance is positioning.
VITO sells high-end German engineering. Their previous site looked like a bargain gadget. I rebuilt the hierarchy, visuals, and storytelling so the digital experience finally matched the product.
Industrial elegance. Real application shots. Copy that hits benefits with clarity. Online had to feel like walking into a modern factory—not a drop-ship storefront.
“Ask customers for reviews” wasn’t enough. I engineered a self-sustaining credibility engine: post-install automation, QR codes on packaging, guided prompts, and smart incentives.
All roads led to video. Real faces. Real kitchens. No fake text blurbs. Chefs recorded on their phones, uploads landed directly in our library, and VITO suddenly had undeniable proof at scale.
Social Proof: from six mixed reviews (half internal) to 70+ authentic video testimonials across the U.S.
Traffic: highest U.S. traffic ever—over 520,000 new users driven by performance architecture.
Efficiency: paid campaigns hit up to 24× ROAS because fast pages, clear messaging, and relentless proof kill skepticism.
These systems kept compounding after I rolled off. The credibility engine continues to capture video. SEO keeps earning attention. Conversion flows still turn curiosity into booked demos.
A developer builds for launch day. A Digital Architect builds for every day after. I don’t ship “sites.” I design living architectures that bank trust, attention, and revenue on repeat.
