Key Takeaways
  • Speed & Performance
  • Design & UX
  • Conversion & Trust

Speed & Performance

  • Compress and properly size every image before upload
  • Use a fast, reliable hosting provider — don't underspend here
  • Minimize third-party scripts that slow down page load
  • Test your site speed on mobile specifically, not just desktop

Design & UX

  • Design mobile-first, since most visitors arrive on mobile
  • Keep navigation simple — visitors shouldn't have to think about where to click
  • Use real photography over generic stock images wherever possible
  • Make your phone number and contact details visible on every page

Conversion & Trust

  • Every page needs one clear, obvious call-to-action
  • Show real testimonials, reviews, or case studies above the fold if possible
  • Keep contact forms short — every extra field reduces completion rate
  • Add trust signals: certifications, years in business, client logos
  • Make sure your site is secure (HTTPS) — browsers now flag insecure sites clearly
  • Test your own contact form regularly to make sure it still works
  • Review analytics monthly to see where visitors actually drop off
