A long homepage is not a strategy. Clear hierarchy is.
Why conversion stalls
Pages mix too many goals, weak headlines, and generic CTAs.
Visitors need confidence and direction in under ten seconds.
What to fix first
Tighten your hero message, simplify your navigation, and put one CTA above the fold.
Add proof near conversion points, not hidden in the footer.
“If the homepage tries to say everything, visitors hear nothing.”
