Can too much free content hurt your sales?
One of our clients had three offers on the same page: a free guide, a paid membership, and a private consultation.
All three looked equally important. Guess what? Visitors downloaded the free guide and left.
So we changed the layout:
Keep the free offer simple. A small card with a clear description and one email field.
Make the paid offer stand out. More space, a clear price, and a strong CTA.
Connect free to paid. Show how the free guide is just a first step toward the membership.
The goal isn't to remove free content. It's to make sure it leads somewhere.
Free content should open the door, not replace what's inside.
Do you offer free resources on your sales pages?
Smart change. The free offer shouldn’t look like "one of the options". It should feel like a good-faith gift that builds trust and increase conversions on the main CTA.
Three offers with equal weight on one page is such a common trap. Making the free guide a step toward the paid offer instead of a competitor for attention makes a lot of sense.

New on Contra, not new to design.
I draw logos by hand, then build everything around them: the brand, the website, the store. Lately I also make product films and ads with AI.
Recent work: an RY monogram and site for a Koreatown law firm, a winged W for a defense firm, and my family's golf eyewear brand, from the mascot to Shopify.
Starting a brand, or have one that doesn't feel like you yet? Show me what you're building.
The logo-led system reads tight because the wordmark sits clean in the negative space instead of fighting the emblem — when a brand has that kind of restraint, the Shopify store usually carries the same hierarchy into the product grid and checkout without inventing new rules....
Healthcare web design collection. Four clients, one category, very different briefs.
Good Company Dental: warm and community-first. Dark tones, real patient photos, trust built through storytelling.
Carolin Schrinner: professional interpreter and translator. Clean navy and teal, credential-forward, built for international clients.
Vineland Dental: neighbourhood practice with 26 years in the community. Approachable layout, bilingual, patient-centred copy.
COVA Dental: premium and editorial. Sage and warm neutrals, before/after showcases, feels more like a lifestyle brand than a clinic.
Every brief in healthcare comes down to the same thing. Make people feel safe before they even book. That is what good design does here 🩺
this is amazing design
Kajabi Wellness Education Platform Development
Developed a Kajabi-based wellness education platform for Nilda that combined online learning, CRM integrations, and a structured course ecosystem. The project focused on creating an intuitive educational experience, streamlining user journeys, and supporting long-term engagement through scalable platform architecture and conversion-focused design.
The Kajabi-to-CRM handoff is a useful part of this build to unpack. I’d check that a learner who purchases stops receiving prospect follow-ups and gets the right access message, including when the same email already exists in the CRM. Which system owns that customer-status change here?
