It can be hard to know where to start, with so much conflicting advice out there.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogslots.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dogslots<\/a> gives us a tip on how to design high converting landing page: &#8220;Make sure to put key elements above the fold and be straightforward with value proposition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here are five elements that should feature prominently on all high converting landing pages.<\/p>\n<div id=\"thede-1051841246\" class=\"thede-proper-below-img-2-2 thede-entity-placement\"><div data-ad=\"thedesigninspiration.com_fluid_sq_2\" data-devices=\"m:1,t:1,d:1\"  class=\"demand-supply\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"thede-1192483611\" class=\"thede-proper-below-img-2 thede-entity-placement\"><div data-ad=\"thedesigninspiration.com_fluid_sq_2\" data-devices=\"m:1,t:1,d:1\"  class=\"demand-supply\"><\/div><\/div><h2>Great images<\/h2>\n<p>Most people might think the text on their <a href=\"https:\/\/thedesigninspiration.com\/blog\/category\/websites\/\">websites<\/a> is the most important thing. But while the copy has to be top notch in order to produce conversions, do not forget about great images too.<\/p>\n<p>The main image used on a landing page can be considered as a second headline. Users who can relate to the image are far more likely to become customers in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it makes sense to cut costs with the use of a stock image, but this will simply fade into the background on most landing pages.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, do not be afraid to make a substantial investment in quality images for a landing page.<\/p>\n<p>One theory for landing pages suggests it pays off to have an image where a person&#8217;s eyes are directed towards the call to action. Many businesses have found this to be very successful.<\/p>\n<h2>A captivating headline<\/h2>\n<p>Before visitors even see the image on a page, the headline is likely to be the first thing they notice when arriving on a website for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The headline has to do a few different jobs in order to push conversions. It has to be captivating, as well as concise and clear. The message has to be obvious &#8211; it does not usually pay off to be too cute and clever when <a href=\"https:\/\/instapage.com\/blog\/how-to-write-effective-landing-page-headlines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writing headlines for landing pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a need for more detail and information to be added at the top of the page, a subtitle can be a good way to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Most people who read the headline on a page will also check out the CTA, so a short headline that gives the main point necessary is an absolute must.<\/p>\n<h2>Copy that sings<\/h2>\n<p>The headline is probably the most important text on the page, but the body copy must be great.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, choose a font and text size that makes the copy easy to read. There is not much point in investing in quality copy for a landing page if visitors have to strain to read it.<\/p>\n<p>The copy, like the headline, should be clear and concise. But it also needs to be compelling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/bottom-line-grind\/how-to-write-landing-page-copy-that-converts-like-crazy-even-if-its-your-first-time-643ffbd27d7d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Landing page copy<\/a> has to tread a fine line between being overly sales-y, but still pushing the message of the business and working hard to convert website visitors into customers.<\/p>\n<p>Also think about how the text is laid out on the page. Large chunks of copy can be off-putting for a lot of users. Breaking it up into short, sharp sentences and paragraphs is just the start.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, consider innovative ways to display the compelling copy on the site&#8217;s landing page.<\/p>\n<h2>An engaging video<\/h2>\n<p>Images can help landing pages to convert, but videos might just be even better.<\/p>\n<p>It is becoming increasingly popular for websites to use videos on their landing page and this is for an obvious reason &#8211; it works.<\/p>\n<p>The old saying goes that a picture can be worth a thousand words, but a video is arguably worth even more.<\/p>\n<p>According to research conducted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aberdeen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aberdeen Group<\/a>, those who use video in their campaigns have conversion rates that are 34 per cent higher.<\/p>\n<p>Now could therefore be a great time to create a video that adds value to a landing page.<\/p>\n<h2>Call to action<\/h2>\n<p>No landing page has a hope of converting customers without a fantastic call to action.<\/p>\n<p>The CTA should often be one of the first things to be decided when creating a landing page. The CTA, after all, informs everything else on the page, from the headline to the images to the copy.<\/p>\n<p>A great CTA is tailored to the target audience and should be short, sharp and impactful. Examples of CTA copy that is proven to work include &#8220;download now&#8221; and &#8220;sign up here&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Without a CTA that convinces customers to purchase the product or service in question, no landing page has a chance of converting at a high level.<\/p>\n<p>The above five elements are a must for anyone creating a high converting landing page.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating a high converting landing page is a big challenge for all businesses.
