Taste test 👀 Grouped vs separated. One feels compact and fast. The other feels more structured… but slower.

Not sure if the extra element actually helps or just gets in the way.

What do you think?

Taste test 👀

Was just choosing between red and blue for another scene…

Now facing the same decision again.

Funny how context changes everything.

Which one fits better this time?

Definitely blue, red feels critical or dangerous

Most Kajabi sites lose visitors in the first 3 seconds.

Not because the design is bad. Not because the offer is weak. But because the first screen tries to say everything at once – and ends up saying nothing.

Sound familiar?

A headline that “explains” but doesn’t hook. A subheadline that tells the entire story. And 2–4 buttons competing for attention.

The visitor doesn’t know where to look – so they leave.

Your hero section has one job: make people feel “I’m in the right place” and show them what to do next.

Not to overwhelm. Not to impress. But to guide.

A short, clear headline. Simple context. One primary button (a secondary one is fine – just not competing).

When you rebuild your hero around this – the page stops feeling noisy and starts feeling like a confident brand. Below – a real before & after. Which version feels cleaner to you?
