Define a visual hierarchy

Hot Tip #78 is to define a clear visual hierarchy.

Step back from your Landing Page, squint your eyes, and take note of the content that appears most prominently. Is this prominent content more important?

A visual hierarchy orders content by significance and also suggests the order to follow. If all content was of equal size and weight, we wouldn’t know where to start. Naturally, we want our introduction headline text to be the most prominent as it’s where the visitor’s journey begins:

A visitor’s eyes are also trained to follow a Z-pattern:

1 – 2

3 – 4

Note how you probably followed a Z-pattern when looking at the above image:

A good rule-of-thumb is to increase the prominence of your more important content while decreasing the less important.

Focus on form UX

Hot Tip #87 is to focus on form UX.

The importance of good form usability is overlooked in Landing Pages. Fancy layouts with too many required fields will drop conversions.

✅ Arrange fields in one column
✅ Keep required fields to a minimum
✅ Position labels near the top-left of fields
✅ Tab in the correct order

Investing in a user-friendly form experience is worth every cent for your Landing Page.
