Introduction
Your website isn’t just a digital brochure — it’s often the first and most important touchpoint for potential customers. Yet even the most beautifully designed sites can silently block conversions if the UX isn’t built with growth in mind.
That’s where a structured conversion UX check comes in. Instead of guessing what’s working, you can evaluate your site against five key principles that determine whether visitors become leads — or leave frustrated.
In this post, we’ll break down the 5-point conversion UX check we use at Belchoice to benchmark sites. Whether you’re a startup preparing for growth or a team in a regulated industry balancing compliance with performance, this framework will help you see where your site is helping and where it’s hurting.
1. Messaging Clarity: Can They Understand You in 5 Seconds?
If a new visitor can’t immediately tell:
- What you do
- Who you do it for
- Why you’re different
…then they’re already bouncing.
Your homepage hero section is prime real estate. It should read like a pitch tailored for your ICP —not a vague slogan. Test it by asking someone outside your company to read it for 5 seconds, then explain what you offer. If they can’t, your messaging needs tightening.
2. Conversion Path Visibility: Is the Next Step Obvious?
Strong UX reduces friction. Every page should make the next step crystal clear:
- Book a demo
- Start a trial
- Download a guide
Avoid burying CTAs at the bottom. Place them above the fold and repeat them naturally throughout the page. Bonus: pair CTAs with social proof (logos, testimonials, security/compliance badges) to ease hesitation.
3. Form Experience: Easy or Exhausting?
Your form is where conversions live or die. Long, complicated forms scare users away.
Ask only for the essentials — name, email, maybe one qualifier question.
If you’re in a regulated space like healthcare or fintech, clarity matters even more. Show trust signals (HIPAA/PII compliance, security measures) and reassure users about how their data is handled.
4. Page Speed & Mobile Experience: Fast or Frustrating?
40% of users abandon a site if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. On mobile, that number is even higher.
Run a quick test with Google PageSpeed Insights. If your site drags, optimize images, switch to a lean CMS (like Webflow), and cut unnecessary scripts.
And remember: most of your ICP is likely browsing on mobile — if your forms, navigation, or CTAs don’t work seamlessly there, conversions drop instantly.
5. Analytics & Iteration: Are You Measuring or Guessing?
A conversion-optimized UX isn’t “set and forget.” You need data to refine.
Install GA4 and Webflow Analyze to track:
- Where users drop off
- Which CTAs perform best
- Which pages drive (or block) conversions

The truth is, even one weak spot in these five areas can choke conversions.
The good news? Fixing them is often faster (and more affordable) than teams expect—especially with low-code builds that balance speed, compliance, and growth-ready UX.
