A few insights from the Google playbook

 

As an example, in order to create a strong and effective home page, you need a clear and descriptive CTA, a benefit-oriented value proposition, a readable font size, a social proof (customer testimonial), no revolving carousels etc.

While many of Google’s recommendations seem like common sense, we see that a number of underperforming websites is still quite high. According to Google research, one of the factors (as an another example) that can  negatively impact your visitors is using an automatic homepage carousel or slider. Why? Automatic carousels can be perceived as a banner and are often ignored by users. Google study recommends that it is better to let the user be always in control.
