Here are some rapid-fire ideas to ensure your page converts:
Optimized for all devices. Make sure your site is legible and functional for large monitors, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
If the next step is subscribe to something, make the CTA the form. Instead of making them go to a new page or click a button to open a modal, you can just put the form right in the hero. We do that here:
Never assume anything. Don’t assume they understand terms and acronyms. Don’t assume they know who you are or what you do. Don’t assume they care.
Always have CTAs handy. Put CTAs in basically every section and/or make sure the navbar is sticky and has a CTA button.
Use images to aid understanding. People understand images far better and faster than words. Use images whenever you
Skimmable. People don’t read. Make it so someone can quickly skim your website and know who it’s for, what you do and why that matters to them.
There’s no such thing as too much social proof. Seriously. The more the better.
Don’t assume you’ve nailed it perfectly. If you get lots of traffic, do an A/B test. If you don’t get lots of traffic, get feedback (below) or use a service like Wynter.
