Billboard

Use the Billboard pattern to break up a page layout for an important call to action. The fewer links you include, the better they will perform. Use dark background options at the bottom of the page, so it doesn’t create a “false footer effect” that causes users to stop scrolling because they think they’ve reached the end.
