It involves understanding people, and research is a significant part of it, making up about 70% of his work. He dives deep into understanding the thought processes, decision-making, and knowledge gaps of potential and existing customers, using this research to inform his copywriting work.   ➥ In homepage development and testing, Chris specializes in user-centric strategies. One of his key focuses is on homepage positioning, which begins by addressing the immediate needs and thoughts of visitors, aligning with their intent and concerns. Furthermore, he tailors the placement of Call to Action (CTA) elements based on user types, distinguishing between fast and slow decision-makers. Chris relies on data-driven insights to inform the precise positioning of CTAs. The testing process is divided into several stages, starting with usability testing, an initial phase involving real users to identify usability issues. Wireframes and mockups come into play for early usability testing, and high-fidelity mockups are subjected to further validation. This meticulous approach extends into the development phase, ensuring that the website engages users effectively and guides them seamlessly through their online journey.   ➥ Chris highlights the significance of understanding a client's brand personality and using it consistently in messaging, which builds trust and allows for artistic expression while staying on-brand. They discuss how creativity can set businesses apart, even in perceived "boring" industries like SaaS B2B, by giving them a unique voice and angle on their value proposition.   About The Guest Chris Silvestri is the founder and conversion copywriter at Conversion Alchemy, where they help SaaS and ecommerce businesses convert more of their website visitors into loyal and excited customers.
