Persuasion

How easy is the navigation? Are images, text and Calls to Action displayed in a
sequential way which makes sense to the user?
• Emotion
Does your content speak to the users’ requirements? Is the text compelling?
Does it anticipate and alleviate their anxieties?
• Credibility
Is the text believable? Is the site true to the brand’s credentials? Do the tone
and images convey quality and credence?

So how do we become artists?
Exploring Conversion Rate Optimisation www.browsermedia.co.uk
Good content is an artform
• Use Lists & Bullet Points
Short and scannable, lists are easy to digest
Bullets are concise, visually attractive and suggestive
• Consider Aesthetics
Legibility: Serif vs. Sans Serif fonts
The size and weight of a font will suggest information hierarchy
Left aligned text tends to be easiest to read online
• Enjoy Telling Your Story
Communicate personality and expertise
