Landing pages are stand-alone web pages typically used to generate leads or motivate users to click through to another page.
A lead-generating landing page will typically ask the page's visitor to fill out a form in exchange for access to a resource (such as an ebook or whitepaper), a webinar, a discount coupon, free trial, contest entry, etc. A click-through landing page is used to motivate visitors to click through to another page where they can learn more about a product or company so they can make an informed decision before purchasing the company's product or service. Whatever the ultimate goal, the most effective landing pages feature clean design, a catchy headline, limited text and a clear call-to-action, as outlined in the infographic from Copyblogger, below.
