Call to action (CTA)

What is a call to action (CTA)?

A call to action is the element that asks the visitor to do one specific thing — buy, book, download, write. The wording carries most of its weight: a button that names the outcome outperforms one that names the mechanism, and a page with a single clear call outperforms a page offering four.
