Trim the fat

Hot Tip #61 is to trim the <head> fat.

Start by opening up your Landing Page source code view. In Google Chrome: File > View > Developer > View Source. Other browsers will be similar.

Source Code View

Copy all of the code between the opening and closing <head> tag and paste it into a text editor.

Use this checklist, starting from the top:

  • What does this line do?
  • Is it really needed?
  • If not, delete
  • Repeat

This can (and will) uncover scripts, font weights, and code snippets that add nothing but load time to your visitor’s experience.

As tedious as it sounds, your future Landing Pages will benefit from knowing what is behind them.

Include an email within error messages

Hot Tip #62 is to include a support email address within your error messages.

If your Landing Page payment integration offers message customization, include a support email address for when a problem persists:

🚫

Error Reference

Error Reference

This can potentially convert dozens of disgruntled visitors into happy customers.

Add a radial burst behind product imagery

Hot Tip #63 is to add a radial burst behind your product imagery.

With only a few additional lines of CSS code, you can add another dimension to your Landing Page design.

The CSS Gradient tool can help generate the code for you online:

Here is the Landing Page with a radial burst:

Description

With the addition of a drop-shadow on the image, a background radial burst can really add depth to the design, bringing your product imagery to life.

Delay the chatbot

Hot Tip #64 is to delay your chatbot.

If you feel your Landing Page benefits from one, only kick that bugger off once your visitor has scrolled to the pricing table, FAQs, or footer.

A corner chat notification on arrival wrecks concentration, and we can’t afford to distract visitors while they decipher what we do.

The end.
