We are constantly approached by clients with a request to make a website or landing page. And when we start to find out what exactly they need, often many can not make a choice. Usually this is due to a lack of understanding of the purpose of these resources. So today I want to tell you what is the difference between a landing page and a website, what is the difference between them, and what is better to choose for each specific purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First you need to understand that landing pages, business cards, online stores or information portals are all websites. Each of these formats has its own specific purpose, pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, before creating a resource, you need a complete understanding of what you plan to use it for. So, let’s see what each format is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, a website is a web resource on the World Wide Web that contains information about the company, text, photo and\/or video content. It can consist of several pages or only one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many types of websites for business, let’s list the most popular ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To the question: “Do I need a landing page if I have a website?”, there is a clear answer. The first thing you should do is to determine the purpose for which you need a resource – to sell, to acquaint visitors with the activities of the company, to warm up, to collect contacts or just to provide minimal information about your business. And only after that start creating a website or landing page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A multi-page site contains several pages – usually the main page, “About”, service sections, blog, news, promotions, contacts, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its main tasks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landing is a one-page website. The name translates as “landing” or landing page. Its main purpose is to attract the target audience, capture attention, increase applications and collect data of potential customers for further “processing”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visitors get to the landing page through contextual and targeted advertising, links in search engines, social networks or through newsletters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The landing page consists of several blocks, has a certain structure, which is necessary to increase conversion. The number of screens can be completely different. It depends on many factors: the product itself, its cost, the warmth of traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if advertising is poured on a hot audience, that is, buyers who are already looking for this product, then the landing page can consist of 2-4 blocks. If you offer an unfamiliar \/ expensive product or the competition in the niche is very high, then you will need much more blocks to convince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the “right” landing page, in no case should there be links to other resources or social networks. Nothing should distract the future client from performing the targeted action we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal is to convert paid traffic as much as possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
A visitor who gets to the landing page either leaves or leaves a request. Usually, for these purposes, lead magnets and special forms are used, where a person has to leave his contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example: Leave a request right now and get a special offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the difference between a landing page and a regular website<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- Landing page is faster and easier to create.<\/li>
- Unlike a multipage, it consists of one page, all information is divided into blocks. The transition is carried out by scrolling, sometimes it is possible to switch sections using the menu.<\/li>
- A landing page is usually dedicated to one topic – advertising a product, service, course or event, and the site contains more general and extensive information.<\/li>
- The cost of a landing page is often much less than a large website.<\/li>
- A multi-page site is more expensive due to the amount of work.<\/li>
- Sites are usually made on MODx, WordPress, Bitrix, Joomla, etc.<\/li>
- Landing pages are most often created on constructors: LP, Tilda.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Landing page or a full website – what to choose?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Now that you know the difference between a landing page and a website, you can easily make a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But several other important points should also be taken into account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Landing page is usually not intended for promotion in search engines.<\/li>
- The site is often developed specifically for the CEO.<\/li>
- If a multi-page site is made on a constructor, then there is a huge disadvantage, because such platforms do not have great opportunities for improvement.<\/li>
- The constructor is a ready-made set that will be difficult to twist later for your own purposes.<\/li>
- If you take, for example, the WordPress engine, then there are just a million different widgets in it, with the help of which you can, firstly, uniqueize your site, and secondly, tweak it for SEO. All SEO specialists like to work with engines where improvements are possible.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
What is the difference between a business card site and a landing page<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A business card is best suited for presenting a business. Many people often confuse it with landing. And this is fundamentally wrong. A business card is a simple one-page page that contains the information necessary for customers. On such a resource place ways of communication and information about the products or services offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Website business card and landing page – differences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- The purpose of the business card is to present the company and products.<\/li>
- The task of the landing page is to encourage the visitor to perform a targeted action and leave their data.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The business card site is simple and easy to use, does not require large material costs and is affordable even for novice entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am also often asked: “What is the difference between a landing page and a one-page website”. There are significant differences between these two formats. The structure of the landing page always has mandatory marketing elements: offer, USP, call to action, forms so that the visitor can leave contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landing page or website which is better?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So, let’s summarize. Which format to choose depends on the tasks that the web resource should solve, the planned method of promotion, and, of course, your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I recommend to pay attention to some more important details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- A regular website is ideal for SEO optimization, but it is more expensive, and the development process is longer and more complicated.<\/li>
- A landing page is created for advertising, targeted or contextual, and it is cheaper to create it on a constructor, even without programming skills.<\/li>
- It is important to understand one point that most often you do not think about what needs to be done before creating an analysis of the target audience, competitors, study of pain and needs. And after you create and launch advertising on your own, most often the result is not very good.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, I recommend not to engage in amateur activities and entrust the creation of a web resource to specialists. Only after doing all the preliminary work, you can get a landing page with high conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
