How to use it
- Sells the outcome, not the interface: strong in travel, food, shopping, and fitness where the real-world result is the appeal.
- Photo quality is the whole game; a stock-looking photo drags the set down more than a plain background would.
- Keep the UI element large enough to prove there is a real app behind the lifestyle promise.
