Core workflow
- Choose one conversion goal for the page.
- Match the headline to the traffic source and visitor intent.
- Build a simple hierarchy: promise, proof, offer, objections, CTA.
- Remove navigation or distractions only when that matches the page's purpose.
- Check mobile spacing, form usability, and page speed.
- Track the conversion event before sending meaningful traffic.
- Test material changes only after you have enough traffic to learn from the result.
Tool choice comes after the workflow
Software should remove friction from a defined process. Avoid selecting a plugin first and then inventing a strategy around its feature list.
