LET’S TALK ABOUT 
WHAT YOUR WEBSITE 
NEEDS IN 2015
FLICKR USER MICHAEL 
POLLACK 
It’s not about what you need - 
it’s about what your users need.
6 THINGS YOUR WEBSITE 
NEEDS IN 2015
1. Clear headers.
Answer one question at a time. 
Think about the top questions a visitor will be trying to answer 
when they land on your page.
2. Calls-to-action above the fold.
Request one action at a time. 
Your users will need to engage with your content. 
What options will you give them?
3. 2015 TREND: 
Large, relevant 
images or videos.
4. Page titles under 55 characters.
PAUSE & THINK: 
When was the last time 
you did a search on your 
smart phone or tablet?
Around 50% of website visitors are on 
mobile devices and tablets. (source: Dekh)
5. Responsive Design 
Responsive websites are designed to automatically display 
correctly, regardless of the user’s screen size. 
FLICKR USER CHRISJL
6. 2015 TREND: 
scrolling over 
clicking. 
Scrolling sites are better 
optimized for mobile.
FLICKR USER KELLY ZZKT 
7. Website personalization (smart content).
19% 
uplift in sales from companies 
using personalization 
(Source: Econsultancy + Monetate)
HubSpot’s homepage shows three case studies 
to any first-time visitor.
These case studies are tailored to an Enterprise-size business.
42% 
higher submission rate for 
Smart Calls-to-Action.

SPEED DATING TIME!
ACTIVITY 
Website Speed Dating! 
1. Pair up with a small group. 
2. Decide what works and what doesn’t

your current website?
What are your top goals for your 
website in 2015?
