Everyone's heard of Google Analytics, but did you know about Microsoft Clarity?

✅ Do ❌ Don’t
Use one clear CTA above the fold Overload with multiple buttons or links
Design for fast scanning (use large headlines & bold colors) Rely on dense paragraphs and tiny fonts
Apply high contrast for readability Use low contrast colors that blend together
Guide the eye with visual hierarchy (F or Z layout) Scatter important content randomly on the page
Use trust signals like testimonials and recognizable logos Assume people will trust you just because your product is good
Build engagement gradually (micro-commitments) Ask for too much info upfront (long forms)
Use simple, readable fonts like Arial or Roboto Choose gimmicky or hard-to-read fonts
Tailor colors and language to your audience Assume color psychology is universal
Optimize for fast load time (under 3 seconds) Ignore performance—it’s just design, right?
Keep visitors focused (no popups or distractions) Clutter the screen with irrelevant offers
Track behavior (clicks, scroll depth, conversions) Guess what’s working and never measure anything
Test and update your page regularly Launch it and forget about it
