What to put on your homepage: the first-screen test

Visitors decide in seconds whether to stay. The part of your homepage visible without scrolling, on a phone, does most of that work. Here is a simple recipe.

The first screen, in order

  1. A headline that says what you do, for whom, and where (or what outcome you give).
  2. One sentence that adds the most important detail, such as "same-day call-outs" or "gluten-free options daily".
  3. Your main button: call, book, get a quote or buy.
  4. A line of proof: a rating, a number of years, a well-known customer or a real photo.

What can wait until further down

Your full story, every service, team photos, long testimonials and your blog all matter, but not in the first screen. Give each a short section below, in the order a curious customer would ask: what exactly do you offer, can I trust you, what does it cost, how do I start.

Things that quietly cost you customers

  • A rotating slideshow where the first slide says nothing useful.
  • A long welcome message before any information.
  • A menu with too many choices.
  • A phone number that is not tappable on a phone.
  • Stock photos that could belong to any business.
