I am not going to tell you why you need a landing page for your SaaS, because you already know why by now. And if you’re in the process of launching your product to test it out in the market, then it’s even more necessary for you to have a landing page that can help communicate to your potential prospects what your tool can help solve.
This article will act as a source of inspiration for your landing page whether you’re a bootstrapper who needs to do everything by yourself or a designer who just landed a SaaS landing page project and want to learn how to create an effective landing page.
Having a set of principles that can guide you throughout the design will help you save hours on figuring out what to do. Especially if this is your first time. So here are what we usually include in our landing pages.
Your visitors are usually skimming the page, not reading it. So including animated or still product shots ones that are high quality and eye-catching, will improve the overall page’s ability to maintain user engagement.
Not everyone is interested in the features or knows what they are. But everyone knows what their problems are or what they want to achieve. So focusing your copy around them and their needs & wants are going to create a relatable product over what you’ve built and the features you’ve added.
So unless you’re selling software for companies in a highly regulated sector, it’s better to keep your landing pages short and straight to the point. Lose all the fluff, the about us sections, or the unnecessary listing of every single feature that your platform or product has. Give the visitor just enough information that will get them to hit the CTA button. No more, no less.
No doubt that amazing design will lead visitors to trust what you have to offer them, but you also should consider the user experience and how you can design it to help the visitor take action at the end of their browsing session. As a start having the following sections will make sure that you do not go overboard with the amount of information you’re including on the landing page:
1- Main solution/outcome/result of the product.
2- How their life is going to be better after using it.
3- Proof of concept section.
4- Call to action value section.
5- Social proof
Those are all the sections you will need to build any landing page. If you’re planning to add any more sections outside of this scope then you need to make sure that is necessary and interesting for the prospect. So now let us move to showcase some landing pages to inspire you.
To conclude, all you need to start selling your digital product is an effective landing page that clearly explains the value you’re offering. Those landing pages will help get inspired in terms of design, copy, and call to action.
