- Unorganized Website Header:
- Prominent and Consistent CTA on the Nav Bar:
Placing a clear Call-to-Action (CTA) prominently on the navigation bar is essential for prompting user actions throughout their journey on the landing page. By making the CTA the loudest element and ensuring its constant visibility, we create a strong sense of direction, guiding users towards desired interactions at all times.
- Strategic Announcement Bar Implementation:
The announcement bar should be utilized judiciously to avoid overwhelming users. By limiting it to a single critical piece of information, we can prevent distractions and make it more impactful. Relocating additional announcements to more strategic positions on the page ensures users receive relevant updates without compromising the primary focus.
- Static Marquee (Announcement Bar):
A static marquee ensures that the information remains clear and easily readable, eliminating distractions caused by moving elements.

- Add Parent/Student Pictures: Boost the credibility of testimonials by incorporating images of parents or students alongside their statements. These visuals create a human connection, enhancing the authenticity and trustworthiness of the feedback.
- Leverage External Review Platforms: Showcase organic reviews from external platforms like Google Reviews. By including feedback from a broader audience, you substantiate the validity of the testimonials and instill confidence in potential customers.
- Include an Immersive Video: Elevate user experience by incorporating an engaging video in the testimonials section. Videos create a stronger emotional connection and encourage greater interaction than written testimonials.
