ResumeCroc
Client Overview
ResumeCroc provides resume writing services, including professional CVs, academic CVs, resume reviews, LinkedIn profiles, and other resume solutions to jobseekers worldwide. Their services cater to a diverse audience, from students to professionals and executives who want to create impactful job applications.
Because they operate in a competitive industry where first impressions hold great value, ResumeCroc required a fast and engaging online platform to improve customer experience and, in turn, drive sales. To address this, ResumeCroc partnered with Delivix to get WordPress development services.
The challenge – Developing a functional digital platform for user engagement
The main challenge that ResumeCroc faced was the absence of a professional and modern digital platform. Nowadays, online presence is extremely important to reach a wider audience without much hassle. It lacked a comprehensive website, which limited its ability to showcase the different services it provides to users and attract potential clients.
This meant a lower number of customers and reach. Moreover, the company needed a website that could grow with its expanding customer base without compromising on performance, so the website that would be developed should be scalable.
Additionally, for services in the resume writing industry, there is a lot of data and sensitive client information that has to be handled. This means that the website and payment integrations must be secure. Everyone is in a hurry these days, and no one has time to spend more than 10 seconds loading a page. The site needed lightning-fast load times and efficient resource management.
The solution – A WordPress website from scratch with a focus on scalability, speed, and user experience.
The expert WordPress development and design team at Delivix built a custom website for ResumeCroc from scratch. We used cutting-edge technologies and frameworks to ensure that we deliver a high-performing and secure platform.

Key features and functionalities
WordPress development is spread over a five-phase process – planning, design, development, testing, and maintenance. After completing the first four, Delivix was able to build a website with exceptional performance and user experience.
- Custom design and development
Delivix created an intuitive website interface tailored to the branding and audience needs of ResumeCroc. The design focused on creating a visually aesthetic site that appeals to job seekers and professionals. Each page was designed and developed while keeping the services of the company in mind and maintaining simplicity.
To make sure that it is easier for the user to navigate through the website and locate key services, we integrated a user-friendly menu system. This led to customer satisfaction and encouraged visitors to stay longer in the session.
- Performance optimisation
Speed is important, and to ensure that ResumeCroc’s website is fast, we implemented advanced caching solutions with NitroPack to allow faster load times during high-traffic periods. For this, our team incorporated HTTP/3 protocols. In addition to this, we reduced server requests and optimised media files. This was achieved by compressing images and implementing lazy loading. The result was a website that not only loaded in under 2 seconds but also delivered an engaging experience.
- Advanced security measures
Our expert team integrated reCAPTCHA to safeguard the platform against spam and bot attacks so that the experience is secure. We also implemented secure HTTPS protocols to encrypt user data. Additionally, our team regularly schedules updates for plugins and security patches to create a safe environment for handling sensitive client data.
- Responsive and mobile-first design
With so many people now accessing websites through mobile devices, we opted for a mobile-first design approach. Through this, we got a fully responsive website that helped in providing an optimal experience across all devices, including desktops and smartphones. Our developers worked hard to make sure that the layout and functionality were adjusted for different screen sizes. This allows ResumeCroc to cater to a broader audience.
- Interactive features
For better user engagement, our design team cooperated with the development team to develop an interactive blog section powered by WordPress. This blog serves as a valuable resource and offers career tips and industry insights. Additionally, we integrated dynamic forms to make client onboarding easier and receive queries. The forms are simple for novice users.
- Scalable architecture
The platform was built with future growth in mind to ensure that it could handle increased traffic. The scalability allows ResumeCroc to add new functionalities as well.
Results achieved – A fully functional and high-performing website
Within a year, ResumeCroc’s fully functional website was built, and it saw significant growth in traffic.
Better online presence
Delivix helped ResumeCroc launch a visually appealing and operational WordPress website that showcased its brand identity and services. The platform provided ResumeCroc with a scalable and secure digital foundation. This launch helped the company improve its online presence and establish a professional image in the resume-writing industry.
Improved user experience
The ResumeCroc website was optimised for seamless accessibility across all devices. This resulted in a 65% increase in mobile traffic. Delivix also helped improve site navigation and intuitiveness to make it easier for visitors to find the services they needed. This led to a 30% reduction in bounce rates.
Performance gains
The website’s performance reached new heights, as the page load times were consistently under 2 seconds. This allowed ResumeCroc to meet user expectations and reduce abandonment rates. Furthermore, because of the site architecture, there was a 50% increase in organic traffic.
Stronger brand authority
In order to position ResumeCroc as a thought leader in its industry, Delivix designed and developed a dedicated blog section. This content increased user experience and augmented the credibility and authority of the company.
