There’s no one right way to design and optimize a landing page. However, there are tools and methodologies we can stick to and test to boost conversion rates.

Below you will find examples of where these have been used in 40 landing page inspiration examples — because it’s one thing to talk about it and another thing to show you how it’s done successfully.

I’ll list all 41 inspirations and include a few images to illustrate them.

If you want much more, go to the full article for detailed descriptions and visual examples of each inspiration.

1) Keep It Simple

Typically, a landing page will only need 4 core elements above the fold:

• Hero image(s) that clearly communicate the product or services being provided
• Headline/subhead that communicates UVP (Unique Value Proposition) clearly
• CTA (Call-to-Action) that contains the core offer the visitor will expect to receive once filling out the form
• Logo where the visitor can click to go to the website homepage, and that also communicates the brand of the page the visitor has landed on

2) Use Color Wisely (Make Your CTA Button Stand Out)

3) Communicate Your UVP (Unique Value Proposition)

If your customers have no idea what the UVP is after 5 seconds, you’re probably doing something wrong.

41) Add Qualitative Testimonials

Testimonials should include:

• Star ratings (if possible)

• Company logos (especially if it is a large brand)

• Name and position held as long as it is relevant

• Photo of the reviewer

Or you can at least include the logos of the companies you’ve worked with. This is how it looks on my website:

I should probably include some testimonials too, and make it more personal.
