FREE COPY OF OUR BOOK
The Web is unique in its ability to deliver this almost improbable win-
win: You can increase revenue AND make your customers happy. Yet
most websites stink. Worry not, Khalid and Ayat to the rescue! Buy this
book to follow their practical advice on how to create high converting
websites that your visitors love.
This book goes far beyond optimizing conversion. It is a digital
marketing primer that explains both the geeky stuff ("bounce rates")
and the soft stuff ("social proof"). Anyone who wants to increase online
sales or website traffic should read it--by my calculation, that's just
about every marketer in the world.
