What Makes for a Good Looking Landing Page?

I found this on Pinterest (my new favorite place) and thought it would be something helpful for those of you planning a new website landing page design.  This is a visual breakdown of the most important elements that should be considered when planning the design of a landing page.  Some of these points can apply for regular homepages as well. It also shares some helpful tips on color and what each one represents.

Cool right?

Here is a quick breakdown on the elements that should be considered when designing a website landing page:

• Page Headlines & Copy – Should be consistent and complimentary
• Clear & Concise Headlines – Should hold the reader’s attention and compell them to read more
• Impeccable Grammar – Make sure there are no spelling or grammatical errors
• Taking Advantage of  Trust Indicators – Build trust by including testimonials, security certification, etc
• Use a Strong Call to Action – Clear message so that reader knows what to do next
• Buttons and Call to Action should stand out and placed below the call to action
• Go easy on the Links – limit distractions by keeping it simple
• Use Images and Video that relate to Copy
• Keep it Above the Fold – The most important parts of the page should be easily seen before the visitor has to scroll down
• Always Test – update & change images, video, and content to see what works better and what gets you more conversions

Definitely great tips!
