Designing Call to Action

Before, talking about designing it we first need to remember what call to action actually is? Call to Action button is designed to take the user to the next stage of buyer journey. After, the user has been provided by the required information, visitor might be interested in your product or service or maybe you would want his details or provide him with free stuff. All this is done using CTA.

CTA is used for making sure, that your visitor gets to next stage and is not left wondering. You want your CTA to be placed at a strategic position and be attractive so that visitor cannot resist clicking on it.

Content will also play a role, as with a remarkable content visitor will want to move to the next stage and provide info or take action as you want him to.

CTA design should be made of clear color, should not have lot of text around it, should have the right size and be enticing to visitor.

Types of CTA

CTA Placement

CTA can be placed on the top, bottom, side, middle of the page. Placing CTA at different places have different conversion rates. It is different for every website. Some, like to keep it in middle, some like it on top or bottom.

How will you decide this?

Use A/B testing. It is a popular method. The basic is you will have multiple pages with Call to Action and you will display One design to some visitors and other design to some other visitors and try to note which get more visitors. Since, we are going to target the same group of customers (people who are looking for similar product/service, same demographics etc.) it will become, clear which CTA leads to more conversions.
