Hick’s Law is a psychological principle that, in a marketing and web design context, relates to the number of options presented to a user. The more options a user is given, the longer it will take them to make a decision. Therefore, best practices in web design, for instance, include minimizing clutter and non-essential options from major pages, in order to focus user attention on those items you consider most important.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, or HTTPS, indicates the use of specific encryption on web browsers. It is used by numerous websites and is considered a best practice for encrypting your site against certain types of malicious attacks.

You can see whether or not a site is using HTTPS by viewing the full URL of a webpage, which is often either http:// or https:// with the latter using the encryption.

A Call to Action is any prompt on a website or app asking the user to take a specific action, often in the form of a clickable button. “Buy Now” is a common example, though calls to action don’t always have to involve a purchase. Signing up for a newsletter or downloading a free eBook can be valuable CTAs that increase user trust and also obtain contact information of interested visitors.
