Page Purpose
| Purpose | Goal |
|---|---|
| Download | Guide users to install desktop or mobile app |
| Trust | Build confidence before download (security, privacy, reviews) |
| Conversion | Maximize download rate, store visits, install conversion |
Download Page Structure
| Step | Purpose | Elements |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Value proposition | Why download | Headline, benefit-focused copy, key features |
| 2. Platform selection | Clear path | Desktop: OS detection or manual pick; Mobile: App Store / Play Store buttons |
| 3. Trust signals | Reduce friction | Ratings, download count, security badges, privacy note |
