Choose the primary visitor
Decide who the page is for and what they most likely need today. A creator launching a course, a restaurant sharing menus, and a consultant collecting enquiries require different first actions.
Write one sentence: “This page helps [audience] [complete action].” Use it to decide what stays and what gets removed.
Build a visible hierarchy
Place the most important action first and label it with the outcome, such as “Book a consultation” or “Read the launch guide.” Avoid vague labels such as “Click here.”
Keep supporting links grouped and limited. If every button looks equally important, visitors must do the prioritization themselves.
Make trust immediate
Use a recognizable name, clear profile image or logo, concise description, consistent colors, and a domain that matches your other channels when available.
Do not imitate another person or brand. State commercial relationships and important destination context clearly.
Test the mobile experience
Check the page on a small phone, slower connection, dark and bright environments, and with text scaling enabled. Confirm buttons are comfortable to tap and important content appears before excessive scrolling.
Compress images and remove embeds that do not support the main action. Fast, stable pages preserve attention.
Use clicks to edit the page
Compare destination clicks over a meaningful period, accounting for where traffic originated. Remove stale choices, clarify labels with low engagement, and keep a record of major changes.
