The Sticky Footer CTA
Keeping the primary action in viewport on long-form landing pages.
The Logic
If a page requires deep scrolling to educate the user, the point of decision may happen far from the hero section or the footer. A sticky CTA ensures the conversion path is always 0 pixels away.
Mobile Criticality
On mobile viewports, where scroll depth is exponentially longer than desktop, a sticky bottom banner (often called a 'tab bar' or 'sticky footer') can increase primary action click-through rates by up to 25% (VWO Case Studies, 2021).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Isn't this approach too rigid?
A: Rigidity in structure allows for freedom in content. When the layout rules are clear and stark, the user's eye naturally gravitates toward the words and the data, which is the actual point of the page.
Q: What about brand personality?
A: Brand personality comes through voice, tone, typography, and raw functionality. Hiding behind pastel colors and blobs is a lack of personality.
