Build a landing page and increase your conversions

Q: What is a landing page?

A landing page is a website that aims to turn curious visitors into regular customers. The plan is to achieve conversions by encouraging visitors to purchase or download products or services. This means a landing page’s design should be concise, thematically defined, and include a call to action.

Q: What does a landing page consist of?

The basic structure of a landing page starts with the right headline, followed by a visually appealing hero shot (and additional images) and a meaningful advertising text. Reviews from satisfied customers and any other reviews of a positive nature should also be displayed. The most important component of a landing page, however, is the call to action, or CTA. A CTA encourages the visitor to complete an action such as buying a product. You can find various landing page examples on the internet if you need a little inspiration.

The most important features of a landing page

A landing page serves two purposes. It encourages users to take action and generates leads. To achieve these goals, the page has to look appealing, offer interesting content and be well-structured through:

Web design — make your landing page visually appealing and user-friendly
Mobile-friendliness — ensure your page is properly displayed on any device
Call to action — incorporate a button and/or contact form to encourage an action
Social share button — increase your site’s visibility on social media
Tracking tools — monitor and optimize your site’s web performance
Email marketing software — simplify your work process with automatic lead capture
A/B testing — compare a minimum of two website versions to build the best possible landing page

6 steps to building a successful landing page

N°

Choose a memorable headline

The headline is the first thing users see when they visit your landing page, which is why it should be as interesting as possible so that users are encouraged to read on.

N°

Embed images for better look

Optimize the look of your landing page using visual elements like photos and illustrations. Images add added value to content and often express more than plain text can.

N°

Highlight what makes you remarkable

Once you’ve made a good first impression with your landing page, point out what makes your product or service stand out from the competition.

N°

Add positive customer reviews

Good feedback from satisfied customers should be integrated directly on your landing page. Positive reviews and five-star ratings are a great way to show customer satisfaction.

N°

Get to the point with content

When filling your landing page with content, keep the texts short but informative. Long blocks of text impair readability, especially on mobile devices. Bullet points break up the text.

N°

Encourage visitors with a CTA

Finally, all your landing page needs is an eye-catching call-to-action button or something similar to prompt users to take action — from purchasing a product to submitting their data.
