Overview

About us

We are CardFlight. The product we create is called SwipeSimple.
SwipeSimple is software that small businesses use to accept credit card payments on their mobile phone or computer.
Previously, SwipeSimple was sold through resellers. We did not sell to small businesses directly. The website for that service is here:
With the launch of SwipeSimple Connect this year, small businesses will be able to sign up with us directly. We will provide SwipeSimple software as well as the banking part of the relationship.
The “mini site” for the new product/service is here:

This project

We need help building the first acquisition landing page for a new product/service.
The first place we’ll use this landing page is for a Google Search ad campaign.
The emphasis is on design (Figma files) for this project. But if you can build in Webflow, we may be interested in that.

Objectives

Give merchant all the info they need to know about SwipeSimple to confidently apply
Idea is to keep them on this page, where conversion is the focus.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a loss if they click to another page on the mini-site to learn more, however. the data will show us if that’s a problem or not.
Highest possible conversion rate (application submitted) for qualified leads

Brand guidelines

We have fairly limited brand guidelines - but it is documented here
Some general guidelines:
We want this to match our existing style, as expressed on our 2 websites. (linked above)
We do NOT want to introduce new fonts or colors.
We prefer not to introduce new graphic elements, unless strictly necessary

User journey

Sitemap

This page will live under the /connect/ directory.
Page will not be visible in any site nav
We’ll use the same top nav and footer as the SwipeSimple Connect mini-site
Also please note:
I’m proposing we place the lead-gen form directly on the landing page.
Here’s the acquisition landing page in context of the mini-site sitemap (top right)

Our competitors’ landing pages have “bullets” sections that are displayed as icons, like this:

We developed several value props, to be displayed like the above example. Copy here:

But wait there’s more copy

I don’t think you need more copy, but placing this here so you have access to everything we have:

Competitor landing pages

I gained some inspiration from the following competitor landing pages. we never want to copy!!
This is a good one, from Clover:
Has roughly the content we think our landing page should have
Elements like “shop hardware” aren’t necessary for us i don’t think; distracting from conversion?
Another good one:

Want to print your doc?
This is not the way.
Try clicking the ⋯ next to your doc name or using a keyboard shortcut (
CtrlP
) instead.
