Mobile Optimization Tips

  1. Stack pricing cards vertically on mobile
  2. Use larger touch targets for buttons (min 44px)
  3. Optimize testimonial carousels for swipe gestures
  4. Ensure comparison tables scroll horizontally on mobile
  5. Use collapsible FAQ sections

Implementation Priority

  1. Start with the hero section - biggest impact on first impressions
  2. Add the pricing section enhancements - directly impacts conversions
  3. Implement testimonials - builds trust and social proof
  4. Add FAQ section - addresses objections
  5. Create comparison table - reinforces value proposition
  6. Add course preview section - showcases actual content

Testing Recommendations

  • A/B test different CTA button text
  • Test urgency messaging effectiveness
  • Monitor how the comparison table affects conversion rates
  • Track which testimonials resonate most with different audiences
  • Test different pricing display formats

This structure makes your courses.yml data much more powerful for creating engaging, conversion-focused sales pages while keeping everything maintainable and reusable across all your courses.
