Homepage Checklist: 14 Critical Elements

Your homepage is your brand’s front door. Done right, it blends clarity with usability, creating a path that feels natural while still driving action.

It’s like a conversation starter. In just seconds, it needs to capture attention, explain who you are, and encourage the next step without overwhelming the user.

Here are 14 critical homepage elements:

  1. Headline – clear, direct, and benefit-driven.
  2. Sub-headline – adds context and solves a pain point.
  3. Primary CTAs – visible above the fold.
  4. Supporting image or video – emotionally engaging and mobile-optimized.
  5. Benefits – how your solution improves lives.
  6. Social proof – testimonials or reviews.
  7. Navigation – intuitive menus and pathways.
  8. Content offer – downloadable resources for lead capture.
  9. Secondary CTAs – lower-commitment actions deeper on the page.
  10. Features – a concise breakdown of product/service specifics.
  11. Resources – knowledge hubs or guides.
  12. Success indicators – awards, recognition, or partner logos.
  13. Search bar – especially for content-heavy sites.
  14. Contact options – visible and easy to use.

The Nature Rating

The Nature Rating

Super, Natural British Columbia has launched The Nature Rating, a digital tool designed to help you assess and improve your connection to the natural world.

The organization’s new Nature Report, which surveyed 2,000 U.S. adults, uncovered a growing “nature deficit” caused by lots of screen time and not so much outdoor activity.

Using AI, The Nature Rating analyzes films, TV shows, books, and music for over 270 nature-related keywords, assigning each title a score out of 10.

As a bonus, you can also get recommendations for more nature-rich content, plus tips for enjoying the outdoors.
