We try to avoid giving advice about custom-coded experiences. But…we’re breaking our rule for Visier.
When you click their "Take a Tour" CTA, you fill out a form to get access. Nothing strange there. But as you start to click around their demo, you notice a sticky bar at the top with two dropdowns.
One lets you pick which demo you want to see. In our opinion, it’s one of the best choose-your-own adventure navigations we’ve seen.
The other lets you request a demo with sales. You just select what you're interested in and click one button.
And here's the best part — since you filled out that first form, every new demo you try starts with your first name instead of another form or a nameless greeting.
A lot of people have fallen victim to messy demo environments. Bad data, generic company names, "Lorem Ipsum" showing up in weird places.
But you can capture the HTML then edit out most of the blemishes. The technology is getting so good, there's very little excuse for having bad visual examples in your demo anymore.
Runa built a demo environment featuring Adidas as the example company. And boy, does it look polished.
It makes their platform look like it's already being used by the kind of customer their prospects want to be. Which, of course, is the whole point.
It’s a big deal if your demo looks polished. Because people assume your product is polished, too.
I had to message Tas Bober and get her take. But PushPay has a new idea for landing pages.
Instead of a giant form then a wall of text, they built a landing page where the demos ARE the page. Seven of them, to be exact.
Each one gets its own spotlight and context on what you'll see before you click it. And if you’re confident in your product, you should love this.
Because someone clicking an ad hasn't necessarily spent time on your pricing page, your homepage, or your feature breakdowns. They're coming in cold.
We've seen plenty of companies build great demo centers. But those live inside a larger website ecosystem. PushPay shows that the demo center can be the first thing a buyer lands on.
Navattic recently launched their new demo builder and it’s a MAJOR upgrade to the way we build and edit demos.
One of our favorite features: editing multiple demo flows from one screen 🔥
Until now, if you had a demo with multiple flows, you needed to edit each flow separately — bouncing back and forth between different editor screens. That was, frankly, a pain.
Not anymore!
Steps, Captures, Flows, Checklists, Mobile settings, and Themes are now accessible from a single building view.
Now, you can see all of your flows in collapsable containers in the left sidebar of the demo builder. From there, you can edit any step, create new flows, or move steps between flows.
When it comes to building complex, multi-flow demos, every workflow improvement makes a big difference. And this one doesn’t disappoint.
