The Problem
There are multiple prominent buttons, like 'Buy Now' and feature items that compete for attention.
Why it Matters
Research suggests that having too many competing call-to-action buttons can confuse users and reduce conversion rates by as much as 30% (Nielsen Norman Group).
How to Fix
Consider consolidating primary calls to action or visually differentiating them to guide user focus more effectively.
