Hi Hendrik, I just retrieved your comment as it was stuck in the spam folder!

Anyways, you are absolutely right about clarity and brevity. I love the book – ‘Don’t Make Me Think’ by Steve Krug’ it just about sums up what usability & designing for the web is all about.

To answer your question, Yes video can be used to reinforce a marketing message. But in a non-intrusive way; meaning you should steer clear of pop-up videos or videos that just ‘don’t go away’ on your landing page. The challenge is establishing a *connection* between your video and content on your landing page.

Thanks for the write-up Kunle. It’s also a nice checklist to walk through your landing page. To be able to make a good landing page you need to understand the internet. Websites should not be like books. People surfing on the internet are not interested in any sort of special language, they want information and they want it clear.

If you can’t present your main points in an easy to understand and read way, then no, the page will not convert.

I have a question, how important is media on the landing page? Is it more distracting than helping?
