Six ways to make your donate button rise to the top
• Color is crucial: 30% greater conversion with red than grey (Network for Good). Use color contrast.
• 2-second test: can visitors find it in 2 seconds?• Creative verbiage: go beyond “Donate Now”
with specific asks• Incorporate an image with the button• Test website positioning and button size• Is the button placed in a “distinguished area?”
