Designing for Sales

Description

A well-designed, great looking website can deliver your message and help define the characteristics of your brand, but good design on its own doesn't always translate into more users. When designing a site, marketing and sales also have seats at the table, and they each bring with them opinions and data about what will increase engagement and conversion. How can a clean home page with simple, singular options increase conversion? What is the best way to structure your Plans and Pricing page? How can you use infographics to tell your story in a simple way that encourages users to act?

With lots of examples and real-life conversion data, this panel will explore how balancing great design with an eye toward what will actually sell can drive higher conversions, more users, and increased revenue for your site.
