Design for Thumbs: Mobile-First Layouts and Compelling CTAs
Hierarchy that guides the eye
Use a strong headline, supportive visual, brief scannable copy, and one primary call to action. Keep paragraphs short and contrast high. Ask yourself: can someone decide within five seconds? Comment yes or no after testing.
CTA buttons that beg to be tapped
Place the main button above the fold and repeat after proof. Use action verbs that describe outcomes, not chores. Ensure minimum 44px height and generous padding. Tried a new CTA color? Share your results with the community.
Accessibility is conversion for everyone
Add alt text to images, meet contrast ratios, and avoid tiny text or color-only cues. Accessible design expands reach and reduces confusion, which directly improves conversions. Subscribe to get our accessible email checklist.
Explain what you’ll send, how often, and what subscribers gain. Deliver an immediate win like a guide, discount, or tool. The first impression predicts lifetime value. What welcome gift would delight your audience most?
Reference viewed items, answer likely objections, and include trust signals like reviews or guarantees. Add a gentle deadline or stock cue if honest. Test SMS backup for high-value carts. Tell us your best-performing recovery angle.
Offer a content-only option, reduced frequency, or a compelling comeback bonus. Ask why they drifted, then use insights to improve upstream. Sometimes letting go protects deliverability. Want a win-back template? Subscribe and we’ll send it.
