The Beach Bum’s Guide to Landing Pages



The Beach Bum’s Guide to Landing Pages
   

If you construct your landing pages right, you’ve got a lot of beach time ahead of you. Your landing page is the first step to capturing all that traffic you’re paying for. A well-made landing page could be the difference between a website that’s your hobby and a website that funds your vacations.

5. There is a prominent subscription form or checkout option.

The action you want the user to take should be available on the landing page itself; the user should not have to click to another page. Your landing page should have short copy, a prominent signup form, and no confusing navigation menu...
