ARTICLE SUMMARY: Considering the landing page is pretty much the first thing you see on a website, it’s got to be good. Designers know that it’s a make-or-break moment for turning a visitor into a lead, customer, or user. Talk about pressure.
We know studies show that a poorly designed landing page can kill a conversion faster than the blink of an eye. To hold that visitor, you need a design that inspires trust at first glance. Without that, the chance of a conversion drops dramatically.
Casandra Campbell’s article, “The Psychology-Backed Formula for Landing Pages That Actually Convert,” gives you a proven framework for creating landing pages that will capture and hold any visitor’s attention to your site. Part of that formula includes:
- First Impressions: The Halo Effect in Action
- Visual Cues & CTA Psychology
- Why Trust Matters
The goal is not to be clever, clever can be confusing. You want your landing page to strip away all distractions and allow the visitor to zero in on one clear call to action (CTA).
Casandra concludes her article by telling us, “If you want to boost your landing page performance, forget chasing design trends and start tapping into how people actually think. When you align your landing page with human psychology, small changes can lead to massive wins.”
