Remove friction from the journey
Visitors need to understand the offer and how to contact you. A vague button, lengthy form or hidden phone number may cause more trouble than dated decoration. Choose a common task and follow it all the way through.
What to check first
Tie changes to actions, not just appearance. Imagine someone visiting for the first time without knowing your internal terminology.
- Use specific labels, such as “Request an estimate”.
- Keep only fields needed for the first conversation.
- Show prices or explain how estimates work.
- Use light images and readable mobile layouts.
- Give a clear confirmation after form submission.
Compare useful outcomes
Change related elements in small groups. Compare successful enquiries as well as clicks. With limited traffic, watching people use the website can reveal friction too.
