You can see some of these principles in action.

Why your design team should hire a writer - Dropbox Design - Medium - 0 views

  •  
    I've always wondered why copywriters don't get involved in the visual presentation of their stories. I've not met one yet. Designing around Lorem ipsum copy, or writing copy without understanding the visual limitations of a page is crazy. So, yes. Please hire copywriters and start a new generation of writers that get the visual component of their craft.

    There are sevreral items in this list that are important for conversion optimizers to take note of, things to try.

Skeleton screens: Far better than some spinning animation for decreasing both load times AND percieved load times. Photo-cenric Menus: Try these for ecommerce sites. Scroll-triggerd animations: ONLY FOR STORY TELLING! Animated Call-to-action Buttons: Try those that shimmer without interaction. Hand lettering: Be careful not to make things hard to read. AI for design: I just have to try Grid.

    Sandler says that you can also put a printable coupon on each landing page that consumers need to redeem in-store, or try an IVR phone system that tracks phone calls and their sources. - Read the whole story...
