I don't understand this article at all. It says every pricing page should have gifs, but doesn't say why. Maybe it says in the images, but they don't load at least under my current adblock configuration. For that matter, JS and gifs of any sort on a web page are effectively another annoying captcha when I just want the information. For pricing, please just post a CSV or equivalent, and get out of the way.
- nhumrich 5y agoThe video demo makes the article make a little more sense. But essentially there is a GIF tooltip for every feature listed on the pricing page so that you know what the listed feature in the comparison matrix, it's talking about.
- throwaway81523 5y agoAh thanks. Is the GIF tooltip somehow better than a plain HTML table with a header over each column saying what it is? Video, ugh ;).
- nhumrich 5y agoI mean an image is worth a 1000 words, and a GIF is multiple images spliced together.
- MrStonedOne 5y agoyes they do, in the very first few paragraphs. >When evaluating a SaaS, I often just skip the landing page and all of its marketing fancy words and go straight to Pricing page. >Usually, I will find what I need there: what features does the SaaS has, and how much do I have to pay to get what features. >For that reason, I added GIFs to every single feature of my SaaS pricing page: They just didn't spell out the connection between the two premises, that because they tend to ignore the demo/about/landingpages, and jump straight to the pricing page, other people likely do so as well, and you should turn said pricing page into your demo page/landing page to target such people with that info since they won't get it from the normal page thats dedicated to conveying that info.
