Will Landing Page Design with Large Areas of White Background Enjoy a Higher Conversion Rate?
-
My designer has created a landing page with a dark background. Text is white and other colors. Does a dark background impact the conversion rate? Is it better to have a white background?
I am concerned that a dark background may distract visitors. The landing page is: http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/MidtownLawOfficeSublet3300SFBelowMarket
We plan on using this landing page for LinkedIn advertising.
Thanks!!

Hi Kingalan
Personally, I find that page all rather gloomy. If you are in the business of selling office space then I would make it as light and airy as possible. Giving the impression of a 70's Chelsea Hotel is not going to float my boat!
However I agree with William - A/B test a couple of designs to come up with your own answer - we are not experts in the NYC property market.
The important thing here is to get the page ranked and this will require extra written content which I have always found looks better on a white background. It's easier to read and assimilate.

Hello,
I notice the top portion of the landing page uses a shadow mask to make the picture darker. This may be to keep the contrast high with the form and the other information. That way it sticks out a little better. The bottom portion is lighter and looks nice.
You could have two versions of the landing page. One darker and one lighter and run them evenly for a while to see which one converts best.
Best Regards

There are They have asked for a site build but my question is Is there a benefit to writing unique copy for this one product on each micro site/sales page and focus on a particular keyword, with an email capture for lead generation and also a link back to the main site.

Page Title Tags - SEO vs CRO ?
Hi everyone, Thanks to what seems to be a recent(ish) algo change in Google, some of our more targeted deeper pages are ranking for search terms where before only our homepage would rank. This is of course great however I am a little worried that some of the page titles of our internal pages are a little short, for example our main departments (we are an ecommerce store) are titles 'Department Name | Liberty Games' so for example 'Pool Tables | Liberty Games'. I have heard varying reports on what to do with the title tag, I have heard to keep the most relevant keywords to the left of the tag, which we have done, I have also heard that shorter is better. I am just a bit concerned that our tags are looking a little stumpy in the serps alongside other results which are longer (although admittedly a bit keyword stuffed). So (eventually) my question is, will short titles harm my click-through rate ? but are shorter titles better for SEO ? If longer is better are there any recommendations about what I could add to these titles that could potentially help click-throughs and natural rankings ? Many thanks, Stuart
