Add personality

Hot Tip #29 is to add personality.

👩‍🎤 A portrait of the person who developed the service.
📑 The desk where these posters were illustrated.
✍️ Even adding a subtle animation of your signature.

Signature demo Signature demo

People want to support people, and these little touches give visitors a glimpse of the human behind the Landing Page.

Curate your FAQs

Hot Tip #30 is to curate your FAQs.

A list of unsorted FAQs is not helpful to your Landing Page visitor, who is presumably confused at this point in their journey.

✅ Frequently asked only
✅ Ordered by popularity

FAQ reference FAQ reference

Remember, your visitor is after pre-sale FAQs, so start by porting anything post-sale to your support page.

Replace GIFs with video

Hot Tip #31 is to replace those demo GIFs with video.

Video offers:

⚡️ Better performance
🎨 More colors
🍃 Less file size
👆 Ability to pause

The argument for using GIFs is that they are easier to produce and save. Neither are reasons to use them in your Landing Page.

  • ImageOptim - My go-to for image size optimization for JPG, GIF, PNG and SVG.
  • Screenflow - My absolute favorite screen recording tool I probably use every day. Exports to GIF and lite-sized MP4 (used in this book) for Landing Pages.

Offer an annual discount

Hot Tip #32 is to offer an annual discount.

Offering a saving for a 12-month commitment can really help boost cash flow for your SaaS.

Note how Unbounce has a Monthly/Annual switcher with a crystal clear “Save 10%” badge on the annual tab:

Unbounce Tabs

Also, note how the tiered pricing changes as you switch:

Avoid doing anything too fancy with your pricing switcher. Rather aim for legibility and a stable experience that’s been tested on mobile thoroughly.

The end.
