What a good homepage actually has to do

A homepage has one job: help a stranger decide, quickly, whether you are worth their attention. Everything else is decoration.

A homepage has about eight seconds to answer three questions. If it can’t, no amount of media spend will rescue it.

A homepage has one job: help a stranger decide, quickly, whether you are worth their attention. Everything else is decoration.

Answer three questions above the fold

What is this? Is it for me? What do I do next? If a visitor cannot answer all three without scrolling, the page is not finished.

Sequence the scroll like a conversation

Problem, solution, proof, process, price signal, action. That order mirrors how a good sales conversation actually goes, and it keeps people moving.

Show the work

Real projects, real numbers and real client language beat stock photography and adjectives. Where you cannot share a number, describe the situation and what changed.

Keep one primary action

Repeat the same call to action at natural decision points instead of introducing new ones. Consistency reads as confidence.
