Let’s take a step back. What does a form do?

•  Sets an expectation •  Requires attention •  Blocks access •  Triggers an emotional response •  Slows people down

Tips for great form experiences:

•  Extend the brand’s experience •  Provide access to something of value •  Include a contextual call-to-action •  Surprise users by their ease-of-use •  Optimize for both desktop & mobile

Tips for writing effective copy:

•  Learn from users, use their language

•  Avoid jargon, don’t get gimmicky

•  Read it out loud first

•  Ask no less than 3 others to read it too

•  Get to the point, but make sure to

provide enough context

•  Test it!

Beware of distractions Make sure that whatever is on your page is pointing people to take action, not preventing them from completing the task at hand.

Links + CTA’s should be recognizable Tried and true link conventions from the early days of theweb are still the most effective ways to format your links.CTA’s must be compelling!

Extremes can be unsettling Keep it simple! Make your point, provide a clear call to action, get rid of everything else. Be sure to test new ideas to see if they improve conversions.

Forms shouldn’t scare people Forms can make or break landing page UX.

Copy matters, a lot Write it, read it, say it, test it.

Ads + landing pages should match Maintain the theme from your ads to your landing pages and continue the conversation that brought users to your page.

Don’t forget about the ‘after’ effect Consider the entire experience, not just the initial view.
