Help! I don’t know where to even start for my landing page design!

Do you suffer from blank canvas syndrome when starting a new website design or landing page? I certainly do – or at least I did until I discovered some basic fundamentals around mixing design, copywriting, UX and persuasive sales strategies.

In less than 30 minutes I’ll walk you through a landing page structure inspired by frameworks such as Storybrand, PAS (problem, agitation, solution) and other proven systems that work as a fantastic and simple starting point for almost any conversion-focused web page.

Blank canvas syndrome – begone!

This talk will cover the basics of what personalization is, how you can understand your visitors better, what segmentation is, common tactics for increasing conversion, being ethical with the data you collect, and how you can gain a competitive advantage.

Tips on how to reduce the carbon emissions of your WordPress website

Did you know that the internet is thought to produce about the same carbon emissions as the aviation industry? And if the internet was a country it would be the sixth biggest polluter in the world. Shocking isn’t it?

With nearly 35% of all websites being WordPress websites, as a community, we have a fantastic opportunity to play a role in reducing emissions and spreading awareness of the impact of our online habits.

In this talk, we’ll understand how to measure the carbon emissions of your website. We’ll look at techniques you can use to lessen your impact, whether you are responsible for their creation in some way as a developer, designer or content creator. Not only will these techniques help your green credentials, but you will also produce faster-loading sites that your visitors and search engines will love.
