Landing page checks before you send anyone to it

The eight things reviewers reject listings for, fixed in an afternoon.

30m Easy Site

A listing sends people to your page once. These are the things reviewers and visitors reject a page for, and all of them are an afternoon's work.

01

Make the first screen answer what and for whom

Above the fold, without scrolling, on a phone. This is the single most common reason a submission is bounced back.

02

Give it one primary action

One button, repeated down the page if needed. Two competing calls to action halve both.

03

Check it on a real phone

Not a resized browser. Tap targets, keyboard behaviour on forms, and the actual load time on mobile data.

04

Add the trust minimums

A real contact route, a privacy page if you collect anything, and a working footer. Several directories check for these before listing.

Watch out
  • Autoplaying video with sound is an instant close for most visitors.
  • If your demo needs an account to see anything, expect most of the traffic to leave at the signup wall.
