Beware of distractions
Make sure that whatever is on your page is pointing
people to take action, not preventing them from
completing the task at hand.
Links + CTA’s should be recognizable
Tried and true link conventions from the early days of the
web are still the most effective ways to format your links.
CTA’s must be compelling!
Extremes can be unsettling
Keep it simple! Make your point, provide a clear call to
action, get rid of everything else. Be sure to test new
ideas to see if they improve conversions.
Forms shouldn’t scare people
Forms can make or break landing page UX.
Copy matters, a lot
Write it, read it, say it, test it.
Ads + landing pages should match
Maintain the theme from your ads to your landing
pages and continue the conversation that brought
users to your page.
Don’t forget about the ‘after’ effect
Consider the entire experience, not just the initial view.
