Landing pages serve as an entry point for a website, and they usually have one goal:
To convert visitors.
Converting visitors may include selling a product, gaining email addresses, sending traffic to a different page, and so forth. But no matter what the end goal is, marketers across the web use landing pages to achieve it.
Without a well placed landing page or two on your website, you'll have to rely on your website's design to funnel your visitors towards your website's end goal. Now, although that's not impossible, the standard website will never match the conversion efficiency of a strong landing page.
Landing pages come in many different forms, and brand typically design them to reflect the rest of their brand and website.
But even the biggest brands in the world use landing pages. Here's one from CodeAcademy:
As you can see, their landing page (which also happens to be their homepage) is sleek, simple, and guides the visitor towards signing up. Classic landing page design.
Now that we've established what a landing page is, here are twelve of the very best landing page builders that you can use today:
