Looking for landing page design examples and tools to create high-converting pages? There are so many elements that a top-notch landing page design needs, and making those elements the “best” they can be often depends on what your landing page goals are.
If you’re looking to up your landing page game, knowing what goes into a great one is helpful.
In this post, I’ll explain how to make a landing page work in your favor and provide you with a list of landing pages I love so you can see these impressive designs in action and implement their tactics on your own landing pages.

Pro tip: HubSpot’s free content tools enable you to create your own website from scratch, with plenty of customization options available so you can tailor your website to your branding.
A truly effective landing page immediately captures attention with a compelling value proposition that speaks directly to the visitor’s needs or desires. It then guides them down a frictionless path to a single, clear action through strategic design, persuasive copy, and social proof that builds enough trust to overcome hesitation.
But to get a broad overview, we can break it down into 6 elements, let’s go through them.
Landing pages can be built from scratch, but it’s often quicker and more effective to use content management software with free landing page builder tools.
For example, with HubSpot’s Landing Page Builder, you’ll access a drag-and-drop website builder with free landing page themes and templates. These features let you hit the ground running with your landing pages and start ranking on SERPs and converting visitors into contacts. Get a demo or get started for free today.
If you’re a WordPress user, there are plenty of themes that support landing page templates, like Pearl, as well as dedicated landing page builders like Instapage.
Make a headline that grabs attention. It should be around ten words short and tell visitors what they’ll get from your page.
Use numbers, be specific, and choose strong words.
If you need some inspiration for word choice, I found a fantastic OptinMonster blog post with 700+ converting and attractive words.
From the long list, I chose this one because catchy terms keep me engaged every time:
Pro tip: Emotional headlines grab attention. For example, “Master Time Management” is transparent, but “Best Tool for More Time with Your Kids” hits differently, straight to the heart.
Make sure your page looks neat and is easy to use.
First, categorize everything you can.
Then, put up excellent videos or pictures that fit your brand. Don‘t use too many colors and elements — it can make things messy and make it hard to notice what’s important.
Play with neutral colors, contrast, white space, and directional cues to make your CTA pop.
Here’s a bit of inspo from Duda:
Scroll down to see pictures with the same colors and fonts, keeping the brand’s style consistent.
Pro tip: Consider spicing things up with new elements like VR, AR, or 3D images. Shopify’s research showed a 94% increase in conversions with these visuals.
Just like with headlines, keep your landing page text brief. In this case, we’re talking around 250-300 words — unless you’re selling something super complex.
The shorter text makes it 11.8% easier to read and understand.
Keep it simple and direct.
Explain why your offer matters to them.
When writing landing page content, start with an outline.
I love Patrick Cumming’ s LinkedIn carousel, where he shared the AIDCA outline for crafting effective landing page content.
Also, don‘t be boring or too pushy with your CTA. Instead of “Sign up for a Trip,” go for “Join the Trip of Your Life.” It’s more fun and promises something amazing ahead.
Pro tip: Don’t sound like a robot. If your copy is too ChatGPT-ish, most people will probably leave the site (including me :)). Show you care by writing in a way that connects with your audience.
Include quotes from happy customers or stories about good experiences. It helps people trust that your thing is great.
You can use different types of testimonials — short quotes, video stories, case studies, ratings, before-and-after pictures, social media posts, influencer endorsements, employee feedback, expert recommendations, or interactive content.
And who says you need to choose one type only?
Very Good Copy mixes both video and written testimonials, and it works great:
According to the Reputation X study, business needs more than just showing up in search results:
Trust leads to purchases, and online reviews can make or break that trust.
Pro tip: Try to use video testimonials whenever possible. 93% of marketers think videos work as well or even better than other content types.
I like it when there’s a real person talking on a site — way cooler than reading quotes and names, especially on some new site where you end up Googling if that person is even real.
You need to regularly do checkups to see what’s working on your landing page.
A/B testing helps you compare two web page styles with the same web address. Some visitors see one style, and the rest see another. By looking at how well each version does, you can pick the one that works better.
Keep changing little things on your page to make sure it’s always a crowd-pleaser. Whatever the problem is, A/B testing can help you figure it out and find the best solution.
Use quality tools for this purpose to find out where users are having trouble. For instance, with our Marketing Hub and Content Hub, you can A/B test your landing pages.
You can put things into context with marketing analytics. It helps identify more info about your audience and how your landing page contributes to your overall marketing efforts — details useful to create relevant A/B tests or to further refine your page.
Pro tip: If your page is in multiple languages, you can run a test for each language version with our software.

Like many of the other landing pages in this post, Shopify’s trial landing page for sellers keeps it simple. It’s not too text-heavy but still manages to persuade users by noting a few key points about its top-notch product.
Visitors come away knowing that Shopify is an all-in-one platform that is easy to use and trusted by many.
Great Jones offers up a landing page that’s as beautiful as its Dutch Ovens. It’s very aspirational and taps into all of our ideal kitchen dreams.
Muzzle, a Mac app that silences on-screen notifications, fully embraces this show-and-tell mentality on their otherwise minimal landing page.
Landing pages help users decide whether or not your product or service is actually worth their precious time and energy.
What better way to clearly and straightforwardly communicate your value proposition than by confronting visitors with the very problem your app solves?
Takeout enthusiasts are no doubt familiar with DoorDash, the app that lets you order food from a variety of restaurants from your phone.
Well, instead of customers, this landing page is geared towards recruiting partners and Dashers who make the deliveries.
Wise allows you to send or receive money in different currencies and countries. Its landing page separates customers into two categories — either Business or Personal. You‘re not distracted by options that don’t apply to you.
There’s even a short video to show visitors how the service works before they try it. Since they’re dealing with money, it’s important to get the customer experience right the first time.
To help convert visitors into hosts, Airbnb offers a search bar pop-up. You can enter additional information about your potential accommodations into the fields to get an even more customized estimation.
If you visit the page already convinced, the clear call-to-action at the top of the page makes it easy to convert on the spot.
Wag! is a service that connects dog owners with dog walkers and sitters. This page gets right to the point with a large font encouraging prospects to join and puts the sign-up form prominently on the right half of the page.
The green background color makes the white font and other elements on the page pop. The addition of a QR code on the form is also a nice touch, enabling visitors to scan it, quickly download the app, and sign up.
Right off the bat, you notice the baby blue background with the pop of darker blue in the form of an “Explore Plans” button. The page gets right into the action with a video describing the services.
Webflow, a design tool for web developers, packs a lot of information into just one GIF. As with Muzzle, Webflow also gets right to the point and demonstrates what its tool can do, rather than just talking about it.
The animated GIF is visible in the same frame on the website, so users can see how the product works and sign up without scrolling.
Talkspace, an online therapy service, really focuses on trustworthiness with this landing page. All of the information on this page emphasizes that customers will have access to licensed therapists.
It drives home that the service is secure and confidential. This is a great way to reassure those who may be hesitant to participate.
The use of shapes is also a clever idea. Overall, the layout is clean, inviting, and informative.
Nauto, a data platform for self-driving cars, helps make autonomous driving safer for companies that manage fleets of self-driving vehicles.
Naturally, its customers would need all kinds of information to sell them on this platform. Nauto has it packaged into a super-simple ebook.
Its landing page gives you both a brief contact form and some preview statistics to prove why this resource is so important.
The green “Submit” button might’ve even been on purpose (on the road, green means go, after all).
Right off the bat, this landing page pulls me in with a compelling, punchy header: “Don’t Make Me Zoom.” It directly speaks to a common experience most of us have had when we‘re browsing on our phones or tablets — and it’s a little sassy, too.
But that‘s not the only thing keeping me interested in this landing page. Notice how the color red is strategically placed: It’s right at the top and bottom of the form, drawing you even closer to the conversion event.
Even if you don’t speak Spanish, you can still appreciate the conversion capabilities of this HubSpot partner site. My favorite feature of the page? The form stays in a fixed, prominent position as you scroll through the site.
I also love the simple layout and warm colors.
Full disclosure: IMPACT is a HubSpot partner — but that‘s not why they’re included here.
IMPACT’s landing pages have long been a source of design inspiration.
I love the simple layout of the page, from the large headline copy and detailed featured image, to the outline that surrounds the form, to the colors and fonts that are very pleasing to the eye.
The free guide IMPACT is offering for download here also doesn’t emphasize the download itself in the blue button that allows you to submit your filled-out form.
Rather, IMPACT is inviting you to “generate more conversions” — putting the focus on what you stand to gain as a result of reading the guide.
It‘s no surprise Unbounce made this list — they’ve actually written the book on creating high-converting landing pages.
Although there are many amazing things about this landing page, I absolutely love the sidebar menu and lots of visuals.
Unbounce is really skilled at providing visitors with the information they need, but also what they didn’t know they needed until they landed on the site.
Often, people think landing pages are static pages on your website. But with the right tools, you can make them interactive and personalized.
Take the example above from Bills.com. To see if you’d benefit from their consultation, you answer three questions before you are shown a form.
Then, you answer two more questions, like the one below:
And here’s the final landing page form where you fill out your information:
I‘m not sure how the algorithm works (or if there’s one at all), but while I was filling it out, I had some anxiety about not qualifying.
Once I found out I did, I was excited to fill out the form, which I’m sure most people who are in debt and using this tool are.
By making this offer seem more exclusive before the form appeared on the landing page, I’d bet that Bills.com increased conversions pretty significantly.
Zillow did something very similar to Bills.com with their landing page. It starts with a simple search bar asking for a neighborhood, city, ZIP code, or address. Sounds creepy, but don’t worry.
This form field is set on top of a hero image featuring a woman stepping out from home.
Of course, the address itself won‘t be enough to get a true appraisal value of a home. It just denotes the home’s neighborhood. It’s a bit like playing The Price is Right.
You can guess how many homes in the area are worth and then type in an address to see how close you are. If you want to learn more info about a property, Zillow then prompts users to sign up to continue.
Landbot, a service that creates chatbot-based landing pages, puts its own product front and center on its chat-fueled landing page.
Visitors are greeted by a friendly bot —complete with emojis and GIFs —that encourages them to provide information in a conversational format instead of via a traditional form.
Like Industrial Strength Marketing mentioned earlier, Webprofits also makes great use of a predominantly black, white, and red color scheme. The result is a clean layout that makes great use of the pops of color on the page.
It’s a testament to the organization’s expertise in digital marketing and UX design.
They also make it easy for you to figure out what Webprofits actually does. The rest of the page offers detailed case studies.
Sometimes, you‘ve just got to stop and admire a landing page for being beautiful. Using high-resolution photography and lots of white space, Native Poppy’s landing page is a pleasure to look at.
Aside from its beauty, the page has some great elements: a clear and delightfully pink CTA, an informative “How It Works” section, testimonials, and an FAQ at the bottom.
Best of all, it plays with language, ditching the phrase “become a subscriber” for “become a wild flower.” I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather be a “wild flower” over a subscriber any day.
While I wouldn’t typically include an example of a homepage with a form on it in a post about landing pages, this website is special. The homepage is the entire website — the navigation links just take you to the information below.
When you click “Get My Free Consult,” the entire page darkens to highlight the form. See what it looks like before you click on the photo above.
And, when you click that CTA, check out how the form appears:
It’s a similar function when clicking on any of the headings on the page. Instead of taking you to a different page, it simply jumps to the corresponding section on the homepage.
I love how you don’t have to leave the page to fill out the form or view any of the features, creating a seamless user experience.
The first thing that grabs attention on the Taboola page is the big headline in capitalized letters. The message really stands out against the dark background, and I love the pop of the yellow bubble around the CTA button.
Plus, there‘s a super easy-to-spot “Learn More” button, so you don’t have to scroll through the whole page for more info.
Casper usually has big discounts right on the main page that change depending on the season and collection.
For instance, in this example, we can see the final snooze sale offering a 30 percent discount on everything, perfect for those in need of a new mattress or bedroom upgrade.
The design is minimalistic and kinda relaxing, matching their vibe of selling good, quality sleep.
Keep scrolling, and you’ll find a cool section I love on the site — UGC. Those TikTok videos make the site feel real and leave you wanting to try products.
If you need inspiration for your finance site, check Merrill Edge.
The first thing you notice here is a personal retirement calculator that prompts you to click and make some calculations. Although it seems like a calculator at first, it’s actually an image that you need to click, leading you to the real calculator.
In my opinion, that’s a minor drawback.
The combination of colors is effective, showcasing the colors of the US.
What Could Be Improved
For discovering awesome recipes, check out Munchery. When you land on the website, there’s a handy search bar where you can find the recipe you want with just one keyword.
I love the cool, dark background with real people enjoying their food at a table.
Right below the search bar, there’s a subscribe button and a chance to win a free gift worth $154 — super enticing!
When you scroll down, you’ll find neatly organized recipes, from burgers and grilling to vegetarian dishes.
What Could Be Improved
When you go to Zoom’s page, the first thing you see is the Zoom AI Companion. The page is simple, showing how this AI makes you better at your job.
The buttons like “Sign Up” and “Contact Sales” are easy to find, so you don‘t have to search around. On the right side, there are cool sliding pictures, showing real people, numbers, and features. It’s a friendly start, inviting you to explore more.
What Could Be Improved
Domo turns data into super-smart decisions. The landing page is user-friendly and packed with helpful information.
And the colors? Soothing baby blue and vibrant orange — so easy on the eyes.
Cool visuals, quotes from happy customers, and buttons like “Watch Demo” and “Try Free” are right where you need them.
Domo also highlights industry recognition and real ROI stats, emphasizing the platform’s credibility.
What Could Be Improved
Netflix’s landing page cannot be simpler and better at the same time.
It strategically places the email sign-up feature right in the center. After you enter your email, it takes you to the account setup or login page (if you already have an account).
Crystal-clear CTA and slick, streamlined steps ensure hassle-free navigation for users of all ages.
Upon opening Constant Contact, I fell in love with the clear and organized layout.
The tagline, “This year, don’t just hit send–send hits,” also caught my eye immediately.
Simple. Effective. Amazing.
Explore what you need by entering your email and testing out a 14-day free trial.
Also, you can’t miss the badge proudly declaring Constant Contact as the top email marketing agency in summer 2023, so you know they mean business.
Although there are many colors on the site, Constant Contact strikes that sweet balance for an awesome user experience.
Talking about good copies, WordStream also knows how to capture attention with a single catchy sentence.
Right on the landing page, there’s a freebie with the Google Ads Performance Grader. The laptop flaunts a bold image, drawing attention to quick audit reports and tempting you to hit the “Grade My Account” button.
If you keep scrolling through the page, you’ll see the Free Keyword Tool and many helpful blog posts.
Trust builds up with impressive stats on LocaliQ’s success, while features like demo scheduling and newsletter sign-ups improve the overall experience.
The Women+ Connect by Lyft page looks cool and has a girly vibe — nice pics, minimalistic design, catchy messages, and a clear layout.
It talks about rides for women and how they can make money with Lyft. The words are short and simple, saying women can drive on their own terms.
Lyft’s landing site also talks about fun things like different ways to travel and special benefits for members.
OptinMonster is one of those sites that might not sweep you off your feet in terms of design, but its functionality is top-notch. I like the tidy layout — everything is well-categorized and structured.
There are pictures and videos next to the explanations to help you understand the features better.
When you scroll down a bit, you can see the results and figures constantly cycling and updating.
Codecademy‘s landing page is a mix of authenticity and functionality. They kick things off with a real person’s testimonial, adding immediate credibility.
“Build your tech career” copy screams ambition right from the headline.
But what really rocks here are the videos featuring real learners sharing success stories. That’s the most relatable inspiration and motivation to get intrigued.
I also love the color scheme on the site. White, blue, and yellow always make me happy for some reason. They have a good vibe and can influence people to choose your service.
I can’t get enough of Semrush’s landing page for a few key reasons.
Firstly, they promise measurable results from online marketing, setting the tone and message right away.
The central search bar makes it super easy to jump into action by entering keywords or URLs. Right below, we can see partnership muscles with global giants like Amazon, Tesla, and Samsung.
The breakdown of services into categories with visuals and bullet points is informative and easy to catch. The testimonials and numbers add weight to their claims, showcasing the platform’s popularity and awards.
Something that’s too cool to ignore is the CEO’s presentation with a cartoonish hat.
Semrush simply knows how to make it playful and professional at the same time.
The most interesting site I explored is definitely the Mammut website for Eiger Extreme. The way they use moving pictures and that science lab font is absolutely fantastic.
I like how the top menu stays in place while you scroll down.
The small animations, like the temperature dropping, are also amazing and engaging.
As you keep scrolling, different parts of the page show up, and it’s easy to add things to the cart. The page has good pictures and sounds, telling a story about adventures.
So, once you open the site, you won’t feel like you’re in a typical online store; it will make you want to go outside and explore. And that’s the best part of it.
Hint’s landing page is a showstopper with its lively aesthetic. The imagery of ingredients and bottles pops against the serene baby blue background.
Placing the one-dollar-per-bottle offer in the focus is a brilliant move, instantly grabbing attention and interest.
There’s also an ability to put bottles into your cart directly from the landing page—not a common but definitely a convenient feature.
Linkfluencer helps you succeed on LinkedIn.
I like the friendly video from the founder explaining how things work. The whole site feels real with actual people, testimonials, and success stories.
The site is well-designed, using dark blue as the primary color to align with LinkedIn’s aesthetics.
B2B sites should always have some valuable resources for free, so they put a free guide button at the end of the page.
The Chanel landing page screams luxury. But not luxury like kitsch and tastelessness, but luxury like elegance and timeless sophistication. The landing page showcases various collections, one below the other.
Each collection features background images of fragrances, jewelry, eyewear, watches, and fashion shows.
If you want to learn more about each, there’s a “See more” button that takes you to more details.
What I particularly like is the option to enable high contrast, turning the entire site into a dark mode. It is a thoughtful and eye-friendly feature.
Lamborghini’s landing page features a dynamic background with scenes of cars, car parts, and the whole production process.
The site looks great, with a simple layout and clear categories. You can also see the latest Lamborghini news right on the main page, keeping enthusiasts informed and engaged.
The website focuses more on pictures than words, which makes it enjoyable to explore.
The Apple landing page boasts the best design among all companies selling similar products.
Typically, pages for brands selling devices aren‘t stunning. I mean, don’t get me wrong — they’re all high-quality — but Apple has the most beautiful look.
The landing page is well-organized, with easy-to-spot sections. They always showcase the newest product first, taking up most of the landing page.
Hubstaff’s landing page brings value, has a clear CTA, and includes trust-building elements like partnerships and testimonials.
The page uses cool visuals, important stats, and key features to highlight how great Hubstaff is. What I especially love is focusing on the benefits, not only the features.
The “Free 14-day trial” stands out in the blue button on the white top bar, making it easy for users to notice.
Enterprise landing pages require specific elements to effectively convert high-value B2B prospects. Unlike standard landing pages, enterprise pages need to demonstrate credibility, security, scalability, and compliance features while maintaining a sophisticated design that resonates with corporate decision-makers.
Salesforce’s enterprise landing pages are masterclasses in B2B conversion optimization. They balance comprehensive information with clear calls to action.
Microsoft’s Azure landing pages effectively communicate complex cloud services to enterprise decision-makers.
Oracle’s enterprise landing pages effectively target C-suite executives while providing the technical depth needed by implementation teams.
Slack’s enterprise landing page effectively communicates the platform’s capabilities for large organizations.
I’ve been watching everything evolve from basic HTML to the drag-and-drop builders we all got comfortable with. And now? AI is stepping into the ring, and honestly, I’ve got mixed feelings about it.
Look, tools like HubSpot’s Campaign Assistant can generate a complete landing page copy in seconds — which is pretty cool when you’re staring at a blank page with a deadline looming. Wix, Unbounce, and others are jumping on this AI train too.
Here’s the thing though, I’ve noticed a lot of these AI-generated pages are starting to look like cousins, if not twins. After checking out dozens of newer landing pages, I couldn’t help but notice the patterns. There’s definitely an “AI tone” emerging — kinda formal, heavy on the benefits, following these predictable structures.
When everything starts looking the same, it’s harder for any single page to grab attention. That’s just marketing 101. And AI is really good at creating “average” content based on what worked before, but not so great at those creative leaps that can make conversion rates skyrocket.
But it’s not all downhill, I actually think AI has solid advantages:
My approach these days? Use AI as a starting point rather than the finish line. Let it generate that initial draft, then roll up your sleeves and make it yours. Add your unique brand voice, throw in some unexpected elements, and bring that human creativity that sets you apart.
I’m thinking the winning formula is going to be this AI-human collaboration, like using tech for the heavy lifting while humans focus on adding those creative touches that really connect with people.
With that being said, I want to leave you with some ideas to consider before you start working on your own landing page.
A well-optimized landing page can transform prospects into leads by gathering information that can help you better understand, market to, and delight visitors.
Since landing pages are crucial for conversions, it‘s important to make sure they’re well-planned, designed, and executed.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when creating landing pages:
Landing pages aid in growing your customer base and increasing conversions. Create a page that delights customers with a user interface so great they continue to come back for more.
