Design Tips to Convert More Customers | Design Review

Ғылым және технология

Think of your website like a journey. Arriving on the landing page is just step one. From there you need to convince the visitor to dig deeper and to ultimately sign up or purchase your product. And the sites that do that well have at least one thing in common: good design.
For this episode of Design Review, Aaron Epstein is joined by YC’s newest Group Partner, Pete Koomen, to cover some of the seemingly small things in a page’s design that can ultimately have huge impacts. Pete knows a thing or two about this subject; before joining YC, he was a co-founder of Optimizely, which helps thousands of companies run A/B tests to figure out which potential design changes work best.
Special thanks to all companies who submitted their sites for review: Rivet, Decoherence, Solve Intelligence, and InEvent.

    I'd like to see a discussion about the balance between "what the product is" vs "why you should convert/buy."

    I'm so torn on this, but it seems like a lot of new startups design the landing page to make people think it already exists, then collect emails of presales. Seems kinda unethical, but I'm honestly willing to try it

    @@YangSunWoobuild then validate vs validate then build. why would it be unethical? do we need more founders building useless software to then have no one want it or more founders finding out whether ppl actually want the software they think they should build before they waste valuable time and effort?

    @@andrewxzvxcud2 because it's deceiving the user. If you straight up say on the landing page, "collecting emails for waitlist" or something to the effect, I think it's fine, but trying to trick them into thinking the product already exists only to hit them with a presale or email collection after taking action seems not as truthful. Obviously, we're not committing genocide by doing this, so like I said, I'm willing to try it out with my landing page.

    Great insights in this video! It really shows how crucial visual hierarchy is, something we often find ourselves fixing in redesigns. Too many focal points just end up confusing users, and confused users are likely to leave. Getting that visual hierarchy spot on - guiding visitors effectively - is absolutely key. It's a game-changer in design and user experience

    the more im watching these videos a lot of these sites seem to tailor their messaging for specific potential customers and yet the reviewers always gloss over that and say they cant understand it so it needs to be changed
