Timeless visual design to increase conversion

Design is thousands of years old. Our ancestors started drawing pictograms in caves. They were trying to say something.
Fast forward to our modern times the underlying principles and goals of design remain the same.

What visual design does

At its core, design does 3 things:
‍grabs attention, conveys a message, and guides to action.

There are many applications of design: from posters to magazines, from websites to mobile apps. The goal of design remains the same.
For a landing page, they fit like a glove.

Grab Attention

You can grab someone's attention by breaking a pattern people learned. Surprise them.

‍
Generation of marketeers used our subconscious refined by evolution. Things like: fear, sex, food, danger, or nature. People today are overwhelmed by ads that try to abuse this.
We have become less sensitive to it.

For your website, you can grab the attention by showing quality and care to your “Hero” section. Care for your product and users. 
Grab someone's attention with a great image, illustration or video. You don't have to be super creative, just give it some love.

There is an overwhelming amount of poor landing pages, with overused stock illustrations and photos. If you can't find an amazing graphic yourself, hire an illustrator or designer. However, the tips that I share will have a huge impact already. And people notice it.

Convey a message

Once you grab someone's attention don't miss your chance to convey your message.
Make it as easy as possible for people to scan and "get the gist of it".

The message usually is multi-layered: 
- Convey quality and care about what you are building. I hope you used the advice from the previous point
- Explain what problem are you trying to solve. How are you solving it.
