Making A Sticky Bar Not "stick"

Julien, Because I am using the sticky bar on a non-unbounce page. I probably should have been more specific about that in my original post.

Font-size and font-color in Stylesheet

Why would you want all of your semantic elements to have the same font size? Wouldn’t you want to break this up into 6 different blocks? Joe

[Create] Conversational Forms in Unbounce

I just tried installing this and struggled… until I found the answer! On the javascript you must check the box for jQuery (1.4.2) or the form won’t show up. Also… I updated the pattern matching for email as it was breaking and used this: [a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$ Lastly, I chose show alert message for the form confirmation option and then it showed my custom alert message.

Conversion Rate Paranoia

@Gordon_East As a former motorcycle owner a great toolkit is worth its weight in gold, cool product. I see you have chosen to leave the price off of this page. Strategic? I would expect to see a lot of clicks and bounces through to your purchase pages as the first question I asked myself is: “how much?” So you could see a lot of initial clicks and low sales. Hopefully you have some re-marketing pixles in place so that you can continue to serve ads to people if they do click to the pricing page. You are using the sticky header… but all you are bringing down is your logo. This is a great place to have another CTA or to have in-page navigation. Consider adding something here in your next test. Speaking of a/b tests I see 2 versions. the one with the photos of the vehicles carries far more impact to me. As a visual person, I get why I would use your product on my vehicle seeing the photo. Depending on where you are driving your traffic from I would highly recommend DKI. If the ad were to t

Conversion Rate Paranoia

@Gordon_East, So, let me play devil’s advocate… no form, no ‘freebie’ as you say… so what is the offer? Why as a visitor should I care that I landed on the page? That is what you should be focused on first, IMHO. As Zoe mentioned above there are too many variables to provide you with an answer before seeing the page. My suggestion is before worrying about what to change, and when, make sure you have a rock solid offer. Make sure your copy/design/functionality are well vetted and implemented properly. Many people put the cart before the horse when they start thinking about landing pages and CRO. Build your house, make sure it is clean and ready for company THEN re-decorate as needed. Good luck! This by no means an ‘easy’ process but if done right dedicated landing pages can really boost your business. Best, Joe

Equal weight for each variants

In order to reach statistical significance, you need to have enough traffic to determine if your experiment is outside of the standard deviation. Without knowing what the conversion goal is i.e. click-through vs form submit, you would need between 720k 1m visitors. Never mind about how many conversions you would need on each variant. As @Andrew suggested, have you considered an iterative testing plan?

[How To] Add A Multi-Step Form 2.0

@Caroline This is pretty awesome. I’m trying it out with a sandbox form to get a feel for the script etc. I noticed in the code you have line 14 lp.jQuery('#progress-bar').hide(); when I changed it to show I got 3 numbers. Is there some styling that I’m missing or is this not the kind of progress bar I am thinking about? I’m going to try and apply some inline validation and error handling to the form… wish me luck!

[How to] Create Angled Page Sections (aka False Bottoms)

Https://kindness.raisecraze.net/ga/schools/

Have you installed any software like HotJar on this page? If not, that would be my step number one. This is a pretty solid little page. But there are some things you can do to improve it. Who are you selling this service to? My assumption is school administrators, teachers, coaches etc. Most of them I would venture to guess are 35-55 probably an equal split male/female. My point? We (I fall in that age range) often wear glasses and the type on the page is a little hard to read in spots (especially at mobile it’s just too small). We also get distracted easily and I get lost on your headline… point being get rid of the video and move to a static image. At the VERY least a/b test it asap. I took a gamble and switched schools for teams… and found another LP. So much better! That’s a headline I can read! So thinking about these people who would be signing up for this platform what motivates them? They need to raise money for their school, team, trip etc. The money! Move your value propositi

Code pen to unbounce

Make sure you turn off the less compressor in your pen before you copy/paste. Also make sure to add the <script> tags and the <style> tags to the code when you put it in the javascript and css editors in UB respectively. I tried to publish and got an error in your javascript that one of the variables was not defined. Other than that you should be good to go.

Insert a 3rd party live form on to landing page

Yep. You can embed that form in an iframe within unbounce. Like anything you would want to test, test and test again to be sure it looks good/works. Also, you may want to setup a separate mobile form… depending on what the form provider gives you or if the code is responsive. In this case you could have the additional lead form from Unbounce on the page as well. Good luck!! Joe

Support for URL Redirects?

This is not something (and I’m pinging @Jess to get 100% confirmation on this) that Unbounce supports. However, if you have access to your dns you can set a redirect within your dns provider for that page on the sub domain. Hope that helps! Joe

Insert a 3rd party live form on to landing page

@ronshearouse Hey Ron! Welcome to the community. What do you mean by a “live form” You can absolutely embed any form (or any html element fro that matter) from a 3rd party into an Unbounce page using the custom html block. Depending on what the 3rd party gives you, it might make sense to do some custom styling… which is a little more advanced but well worth it. Good Luck! Joe

Introduce yourself to the community! 👋

Where are you from? I am originally from Bedford, MA (a sleepy little bucolic town in Massachusetts USA) we had one stop light when I was growing up… it was a big deal when we got the second one. What kind of business are you in? And how long have you been doing it? I work at a digital marketing agency. I have been here for 4+ years. What are you working on in Unbounce right now? Do you need any help? Today I spent some time building a new popup for a client. I love the popup/sticky features as it allows me to do things to sites regardless of the CMS. What’s your favourite Tom Hanks film? Um, let’s go with Big. What’s your favourite .gif? As a gen X’er I do not have a very strong .gif game. I tend to use this one from time to time.

Popups: Q&A with Finge Holden ⭐

@Finge Could not be more right on the last point: What would you say to someone who doesn’t like popups? You just have to try them. They will help your business grow! In our business, we do 80/20 lead gen to eCommerce. So I often think “how do I get this topic tactic to translate to a lead gen site?” There are so many use cases for eCommerce pop-ups/sticky bars. But I find that if you think through the user flow you can often find parallels. So whether you are marketing an eCommerce site or a lead gen site you can try popups or sticky bars and see a real conversion lift to your business. Joe

In your url you are using two ? that is most likely the culprit. The first ? tells the browser that php type code follows. If you try: I took out 2nd ? and replace with & you should be able to grab the query parm you want for DTR and let the rest just be for GA. Let me know if that doesn’t do the trick and we’ll keep debugging!

What is Unbounce doing to be compliant with new EU GDPR laws?

Hi @Boost_Company! I am not an Unbounce employee and I cannot answer all of your questions (this is starting out like a great reply I know but trust me it gets better) BUT I can tell you not to worry. GDPR is on everyone’s mind for companies in the EU and outside the EU. Trust me, Unbounce is one of those companies I can tell you that with 100% certainty. I cannot reveal how I know this (I’m under an NDA) but I can tell you that Unbounce takes GDPR seriously. As far as the comment about query params showing up in GA this is nothing new. And it is not unique to Unbounce. I exclude query parameters using some custom javascript in GTM or directly in GA. It depends on the site and the application. Others from Unbounce will post more on this topic as plans get formalized and solutions put into place. Unbounce is an incredible tool, and I know they want all users, across the globe, to continue to enjoy the platform. GDPR is scary, but it is something that everyone has to deal with. I know Un

Increase Google Adwords quality scores

Hi @33social, I am able to open your landing page and take a look. Though like Jess mentioned, the subdomain could be perceived as spam. Is this the only landing page you have ever tried to send traffic to? or is spinning up a landing page the solution to a pre-existing problem? There is a lot going on here so I am going to just give you some high level feedback. My eye doesn’t seem to settle on anything. The font color in the green section is very hard to read. The photo is dark with the bright candle so my eye tends to go in that direction, which is away from the form 😦 I don’t get what it is that you do from an initial visual perspective. Do you want form submits or clicks to the website? Having footer links, or links to social sites is good. It does reduce the attention ratio but it isn’t awful. Having a link that says “no thanks” right under the submit button… that is not going to help your conversion rate. The social proof section looks spammy. Consider asking a d

Mobile Responsive Form Fields

The short answer is you don’t. The long answer is you don’t need to. For what you are doing (based on the screen shot) you only really need the flex form fields at desktop. At mobile it is a 1 column form. Simple. If I am missing something let me know but as I see it the best (fastest) solution is to have the flex form fields only on the desktop version of your page.
