Landing Page Layout:6 Best Practices For High Participation & Lowered
Bounce Rates
Don’t make users scroll
Tips For Success
If a user has to scroll in order to understand what to do next, you’ll lose him.
While screen sizes are different, displaying content in top 300 pixel space is the general rule.
Responsive design for mobile is important.
#Likeable
Tell users how easy it is
Tips For Success
Treat your instruction as a headline.
How do you want the user to engage? What will he get if he does?
#Likeable
Show examples of what you expect
Tips For Success
Asking for something specific? Show users an example of what you expect, so they can mimic it. #Likeable
Simplify the instruction
Tips For Success
If your engagement application needs user interaction, make your instructions simple and explicit.
Asking users to write something, and looking for quantity? Stick to “closed” statements, leave little room for interpretation.
#Likeable
Ask questions that are aspirational
Tips For Success
Struggling to think up some “closed” topics to encourage an engaging conversation and interactions?
Consider aspirational topics, such as “ideal” adventures, “dream” vacations, and other things people aspire to.
#Likeable
Do the 10 second test
Tips For Success
Make sure you’ve done your landing page right by giving it a 10-second once over.
Do you understand its purpose? What are you, as a user, supposed to do on it?
How clearly is your intended engagement activity coming across?
