Designing a website isn’t just about making it look good—it’s about getting results. If your site isn’t nudging users toward action, like filling in a contact form, then it’s time to rethink your strategy. With the right design techniques, your website can become a 24/7 lead-generating machine.
First Impressions Matter—Fast
Did you know it takes users just 0.05 seconds to form an opinion about your site? That’s why your homepage must clearly communicate your service, value, and next step—all above the fold. Use a bold headline, a benefit-focused subheading, and a clear CTA button like “Get a Free Quote” or “Speak to an Expert.”
If you’re unsure what this looks like in practice, check out how we use this technique on our homepage. It’s a great example of conversion-focused design done right.
Keep It Simple—But Strategic
Clutter kills conversion. A clean layout with generous spacing improves readability and keeps attention where it belongs: on your CTA. Instead of cramming in every service, guide users through a journey. Use visual hierarchy—large headlines, bold CTAs, and subtle supporting text.
Also, keep your navigation lean. Studies show that reducing menu options boosts conversions. For example, Neil Patelexplains why fewer choices often lead to more action.
Build Trust Through Design
Lead generation thrives on trust. Use testimonials, client logos, and before-and-after visuals to show real results. Better yet, embed these just above or beside your form to reinforce credibility.
And don’t forget page speed—Google’s Core Web Vitals show that slow-loading sites lose visitors fast. We optimise all our websites for speed and performance, so you don’t lose leads to lag.
Make Your Call-to-Action Unmissable
Every scroll should have a purpose. Strategically place CTA buttons throughout the page—not just at the top or bottom. Use action-driven text like “Claim My Free Estimate” instead of the generic “Submit.”
A good tip? Make your form short. Ask only for essential info. The less friction, the more leads. You can even use a popup form triggered after 30 seconds or on scroll to capture attention at the right moment.
