You probably think I sound like a broken record, but I really can’t stress enough how important optimising your site is. If a user visits your site and it does not grab them as almost instantly being what they are looking for they will leave and that is revenue you have lost.

Think about your target market, what they want…NOT what you want.
To start you off, here are a few simple things you can look at to improve the look of your site that will make a huge difference:

  • IMAGE – is your image relevant to your niche? Does it help your site or is it so distracting that it draws the eye away from the registration box?
  • CTA – what does your call to action say? It must be relevant and lead the user to want to register.
  • Use simple practices like BOLD text to draw attention.
  • REGISTRATION FORM – you need to assess your fields, do you have too many and are the relevant. Testing have proven our short form increases registrations.
  • CTA BUTTON – your text, colour, size and prominence is very important to your page. This needs to catch your user’s eye.

Please get in touch, I would love to go over your site and see what can be done to improve it for you!
