The ultimate guide for designing landing pages

 

Landing pages are those that have been specifically designed to meet objectives for conversion. Sometimes, a homepage serves as a landing page (though some might claim that a home page cannot be truly considered a landing page) However, in many other instances, specific pages are designed to support specific marketing campaigns.

Conversion goals could range from purchasing a product to asking for information. When you've identified a purpose and have a clear understanding of your audience and your target audience, you can develop or test and improve landing pages that improve your chances of achieving your objectives.

Why do we need landing pages?

One of the biggest errors marketers make is to redirect traffic from a public relations or advertising campaign to your home page. Your home page may have very little direction or connection to the campaign that sends visitors to it. It could leave users confused.

Landing pages, in contrast, are directly linked to your marketing campaign. It may be designed to echo the words and images that are used in ads or PR materials so that when someone arrives on the landing page it will be taken through precisely what you would like them to do on the page. This creates a better experience that makes the user feel relaxed, instead of in a state of confusion.

The purpose of landing pages is to grab and keep your visitors' attention and keep it there for longer than the homepage will not achieve. They also draw your visitors' focus on the information that they want to know instead of making them drown in the sea of information that is your homepage.

Know the market you want to target.

The audience you intend to reach with websites is the very first aspect you must understand. Naturally, you must know the same demographics that you would need for any other type of website. However, there are a few additional factors to consider when creating the landing page in particular:

Where are these people coming from? Are they coming from an advertisement? Is it a Google search advert, a text advertisement, or banner ad, or another type of advertisement?

Did they originate from an advertising campaign? Are they being sourced through social media? News websites? Blogs? Forums?

What will they be looking for upon arriving at your page? Are they there with an intention to buy? Sign up? Find out more? Or do you want to know something completely different?

There can be only one goal for conversion

Each landing page must be designed with a single goal of conversion. It could be to get more information, complete a purchase or join an evaluation, or some other thing.

If you attempt to divide your attention among multiple goals it will dilute the impact. Make sure you decide on the most important and then focus on that. It's possible to add more goals (like joining newsletters) on the page for confirmation following the first goal has been achieved.

Take the attention rate into consideration.

The ratio of attention on your page's landing point is the ratio of how many links you have on your site compared to your goals for conversion (which must at all times be one). Therefore, if you have a lot of links on your page that don't lead directly to the goal for conversion this will increase your attention ratio. Ideally, you would like the ratio to be 1.

Another reason why landing pages are more effective than giving people an email with a link to your website. Your website could be able to achieve an attention ratio of the ratio of 10:1, 25:1, and even 100 times one. This means that there are too many competing things with your visitors' attention that go beyond the goals you wish them to attain.

Be aware that your landing page must be targeted towards one goal in particular. If you have multiple goals you must include more than one landing site, with several campaigns.

Understand the competition:

Before you design your page for landing, be sure you are aware of what your competitors are making. Are they all creating long sales pages that have many copies? Are they using shorter copies on a set of pages to create an effective sales funnel? Are they using landing pages?

After you've got an idea of what your market is doing, you'll be able to decide what degree you'd like to depart from the standard. It is possible that you do not want to go from the norm too much or to go with something completely different.

Analyze where is the traffic coming from

Visitors who land on a landing page are usually derived from two sources: advertising paid for or a marketing or PR campaign. Advertising may include video advertisements as well as social media or search ads, banners, or text advertisements on websites. Marketing or PR sources could contain press releases unpaid updates on social media or blogs (either on your own blog or one of another's) or news media.

If the traffic is coming via advertising, you'll have full control over the content that directs visitors to your site's landing pages. If the traffic is being sent by PR sources, it can make it more difficult for you to manage the content. Your landing page could require more clarity and be well-written because you don't know how much information a visitor has already gathered when they arrive.

First impressions are best

The first impression that your landing page makes is crucial. If you make a bad impression, it could result in your visitor abandoning your site without doing anything else. A good impression could result in exactly the opposite.

The most important factors to make a successful first impression of web pages that you have on easy to grasp:

• A clear headline
• an intelligently-planned design;
• appropriate visuals
• A strong call to take action.

These four elements work to instantly give the visitor an idea of the site and what they could be expecting to find. Naturally, the site's content is equally important for the success of the website, but it's after the initial impression.
