3 website changes that could double your conversions

Most conversion problems are not aesthetic emergencies. They are comprehension emergencies wearing a brand kit. The universe does not owe you a redesign budget. It does owe strangers a sentence they can finish.

1. Run a five-second test with five people outside the company.
2. Rewrite the headline and subhead from their words.
3. Move one proof point into the first viewport.

5. Shorten the form or checkout path by one step if friction is obvious.
6. Measure click-through to the primary action before you reopen Figma for a redesign.
