Creating a compelling BG (background) video for your site's banner requires careful planning. Prioritize USA footage, even down to state or region, for location-specific businesses such as real estate or landscaping. Avoid depicting clients or staff in sensitive sectors like medical or counseling. Focus on showcasing the end product, not the process, crucial for industries like construction or plumbing. These foundational tips ensure a captivating and relevant BG video.
Not all images on the mobile and tablet versions display the same way that they do on the desktop versions. If you have a two-column row with one column that is just an image, be sure to check what that section looks like on the mobile version. A lot of times, the image column will appear "smushed." To combat this, add a spacer widget to that column, that way we can see the full image on the mobile version!
Click-to-call widgets look identical to buttons but are specifically designed for phone actions. Never use buttons for call actions, instead, use click-to-call widgets, they offer a smoother user experience for future site visitors.
When designing your homepage, adding a background video into the banner is a great way to catch the eyes of first-time viewers. Adding subtle movement to the design can spice up the visual appeal for that memorable first impression, setting the tone for an engaging browsing experience. The homepage banner is your digital storefront - make it inviting and impactful!
