Design Principles for Conversion

1. Visual Hierarchy

  • Size = importance (H1 > H2 > Body > Caption)
  • Color = action (CTA buttons should be most contrasting)
  • Whitespace = focus (isolate key elements)

2. Fitt's Law

  • Make CTAs large and easily clickable
  • Place important actions within thumb reach on mobile
  • Use 48x48px minimum touch targets

3. Hick's Law

  • Simplify choices on first view
  • Progressive disclosure: show more on interaction
  • Limit CTA buttons to 1-2 per section

4. Weber-Fechner Law

  • Gradual changes feel natural
  • Animations should be smooth (ease-in-out)
  • Incremental reveal builds anticipation

5. Von Restorff Effect

  • Stand-out elements are remembered
  • Use accent color for primary CTA
  • Unique visual treatment for key metrics

Anti-Patterns

  • Don't use accent color for everything
  • Don't make all headings the same size
  • Don't cram content — respect whitespace
