Landing pages - common mistakes

You need to have good landing pages to encourage customers to buy from you. However, there are some common mistakes which prevent this and here are some of them:

Cluttered with all sorts of information. Whilst you want to convey enough information, do not be tempted to pack too much in as you will only turn visitors off.

Pop ups. Very annoying if you are trying to read about products or services. Certainly, use pop ups to give further information but only when clicked on.

Unrelated text. Keep descriptions and information relevant and to the point, do not be tempted to start talking about something else as this will turn visitors away.

Many or no calls to action. One is enough.

Poor spelling and grammer. Do check all copy for spelling and grammer, it need not be the Queen's English, but it must be correct.

Landing page slow to load. Keep your landing page simple so that it loads quickly. Visitors will not hang around if your page takes too long to load.

Always make it easy for visitors to buy from you, if they find it difficult or can't see where to go next, they will leave, so do make it very obvious.
