Conversion rate optimisation tips

26 August 2026

Measure the right conversion

Home-page conversion will always look worse than a “Website Design London” page. Segment. Track form submits, phone taps, and email clicks separately. If 500 people hit a blog post and two enquire, that is fine — the post’s job was education. If 500 people hit a priced service page and two enquire, the page is leaking.

Make the next step obvious

One primary CTA: “Get your website today” or “Request a quote”. Repeat it in the hero, after proof, and in a closing band. Phone number visible on mobile (sticky is acceptable if it does not hide content). Alternative path: book a call. Do not offer six equal buttons.

Short forms win

Name, email, phone, service. Optional budget. Honeypot for bots. Instant thank-you page. Confirmation email within a minute. Humans reply within a working day — CRO dies in the inbox as often as on the page. That is why our contact path is boring on purpose.

Proof beats persuasion copy

Numbers, named roles, specific neighbourhoods. Put a testimonial next to the form, not in a distant carousel. Show starting prices — mystery pricing feels like a trap in this market. See cost transparency.

Speed, tap targets, and anxiety

A 48px button that appears in 1.8 seconds will outperform a clever headline that appears in 6. Reduce GDPR anxiety with a one-line privacy note under the submit button. Avoid exit-intent popups that trap the back button; they punish more than they convert on B2B sites.
