Summary: You don’t need a redesign to move conversion. Apply these 2025 heuristics and measure with lightweight tests.
Heuristics that move numbers
- Hero clarity: problem→promise in 2 lines + one CTA. Add 3 bullet benefits with icons.
- Proof above the fold: logos, ratings, or a 20–30s demo.
- Friction removal: fewer fields; progressive disclosure for details.
- Offer framing: anchor value, guarantee terms, “what’s inside” list.
- Speed: compress media; avoid layout shifts; lazy‑load below the fold.
Quick test ideas
- 2‑CTA test (primary vs. secondary), not 5 buttons fighting attention.
- Price presentation (monthly vs. yearly toggle) and savings clarity.
- Social proof near form; show use‑cases not generic praise.
Measurement
Track engaged sessions, scroll depth, form starts/completions in GA4. Use server events for purchases/leads.

Conclusion
Small, disciplined changes compound. Fix clarity, remove friction, place proof early and test one hypothesis at a time.
