Case 4 · Residential and commercial solar and battery · Australia
A solar installer in Australia
A four-office Australian solar and battery installer, in business since 2014, doing residential and commercial rooftop PV plus storage.
In a remarkably short time, bewsti gave our solar company a logo, a complete brand book and a clean, modern website.
What impressed us most was how quickly they understood our industry and turned our vision into a strong, professional identity. The quality was excellent at every stage, from the first concepts to the final files.
Communication was clear throughout, and the results exceeded our expectations. We now have a brand that truly represents us and a website we’re proud to share.
We highly recommend bewsti to any company that wants high-quality branding and web design, delivered efficiently and professionally.

What the business does
A four-office Australian solar and battery installer, in business since 2014, doing residential and commercial rooftop PV plus storage, with the commercial side, 80 kW to 200 kW rooftops and embedded networks, as the priority book of business. The existing site was a 2019 build that measured badly on every axis.
What was wrong when we started
- A 146 KB render-blocking stylesheet on every page.
- The homepage HTML was 240 KB raw, 40.3 KB gzipped, because a decorative field was drawn as 5,489 SVG circle elements in the markup.
- A lab speed score of 74 out of 100. The largest element took 5.0 seconds to appear.
- Total blocking time 350 ms.
The numbers
The form was timed by a person typing it, keyboard only, at about forty words a minute with a pause to read each label, because a form that takes under a minute is a form somebody finishes. It came out at 22.0 seconds.

What we decided
The decorative field moved out of the HTML.
Why
5,489 Circle elements became 14. The homepage HTML went from 240 KB to 67.7 KB raw and 40.3 KB to 14.4 KB gzipped, and total blocking time went from 350 ms to between 90 and 190 ms.
The offices map is drawn, not embedded.
Why
One inlined SVG path from public-domain map data: 0.97 KB raw, 0.47 KB gzipped, zero extra requests, no API key and no account. A real embed needs a cloud account with billing attached and is one of the heaviest things that can go on a page.
Rejected: a live interactive map, which would have been the heaviest thing on every page it touched.
What they own now
- The repository, the built site and the deploy workflow
