One promise above the fold

Visitors should understand who you help and what changes for them in a few seconds. Feature lists can wait. Clarity beats cleverness.

Make the next step obvious

Primary CTA should be one action: book a call, start a trial, or request a proposal. Secondary links are fine; competing primaries are not.

Proof that matches the claim

Use only proof you can stand behind — product screens, process detail, or named work with permission. Empty logos and invented metrics destroy trust.
