In a previous article, we mentioned that 84% of website conversions occur on the first visit. And during this first visit, the average site visitor is only going to stay on your website for about 10 seconds.

That means that’s all the time you have to make a good impression, convince your visitors to stay on your site, and to (hopefully) convert that site visit into a lead.

Stvara određeni pritisak kada razmislite o tome.

But not to worry- landing pages help you do just that. More specifically though, well-crafted landing pages help you to do just that.

So what are they?

In the simplest terms, a landing page is any page that gets traffic from anywhere other than the usual pages on your site (like your Homepage, FAQ, or Contact Us page).

The difference between these “usual pages” though, is that landing pages reel in your audience using content that creates a sense of urgency – like call-to-action buttons and promo pages, for example – and they do it all in one page with a specific goal set in mind: They make your audience take action.

And if all goes as expected, you get to convert your audience and site visitors into leads. This is called lead generation.

Odredišne stranice su ključni deo svakog veb-sajta, posebno kada pokušavate da izgradite publiku i privučete potencijalne klijente. One su takođe ogroman faktor u ostvarivanju prihoda.

What do they look like and when do I start making one?

Evo primera sjajne odredišne stranice sa sajta Unbounce, koja nam se zaista dopada:

This has all of the right elements you need to execute the perfect landing page: it’s got just the right amount of text (which is really helpful for boosting SEO), and it’s packaged in a way that it’s not too heavy or intimidating for site visitors.

The imagery is great as well, and the placement of the two call-to-action (or CTA) buttons give the visitors just enough cues to sign up for their service. Not too little, but not too much either.

(Savet: odredišna stranica sajta Unbounce izgleda prilično otmeno – možda čak i pomalo zastrašujuće ako pokušavate da preslikate sličan stil na sopstvenoj odredišnoj stranici – ali zapravo možete napraviti stranicu koja je slična i podjednako sjajnog izgleda koristeći PBS).

Take note though, that Unbounce’s example isn’t the only way you can create your landing page.

You can always go for a simpler, cleaner look, like Uber’s landing page below:

The text’s placement, along with the sign-up forms look crisp and clean. There’s also minimal distractions on this landing page, which prompts its visitors to sign up right away.

MAKE YOUR OWN LANDING PAGE: First Site Guide’s Psychology of Color Cheat Sheet is a huge helA, which can help you balance out the right kind of colors that create a minimal yet classy effect for your landing pages.

You can have more than one

This is a little tricky because you have to learn how to strike a balance, but if you think it’ll help generate more leads,  you can actually build more than one landing page. Again, different landing pages cater to different needs.

Uzmite na primer ovu (jednu od mnogih) sa platforme MailChimp, koja poziva svoju publiku da se besplatno registruje za njihove usluge:

(It worked by the way, as we use MailChimp for our newsletter service, too).

Take note of the text – it’s straight to the point, and addresses the target’s audience needs in just three simple, albeit powerful words; enough to catch the visitor’s attention, and convert into a lead.

Here’s another from Truila, which helps its users get an estimate of how much their houses are worth.

Unlike the previous examples, Truilia doesn’t offer a catch to their customers in this particular landing page. They simply offer to give the visitor a chance to test out their service.

Again, take note of the copy: no fluff, and it gets straight to the point.

Usually, landing pages like these direct you towards another, one that has more information about what the website is offering. This is also a great technique used to capture more leads.

More doesn’t always mean merrier

It’s important to remember that the problem isn’t the lack of landing pages per se – but the lack of well-created, successful landing pages.

Svaki veb-sajt može da napravi gomilu takvih stranica, ali to ne donosi automatski uspešnu konverziju potencijalnih klijenata.

Opet, kreiranje odredišnih stranica je veoma nezgodan posao – pa ako možete sebi priuštiti ulaganje u proučavanje umetnosti i nauke koje stoje iza toga, toplo se preporučuje da to i učinite.
