2. Minimalist: Less is more. Avoid adding any sort of distractions to your pages like pop-ups The most effective landing pages provide users with the necessary information and nothing more. Make sure the info at the front can be easily scanned.

3. Use a header: Use a header that clearly promotes your site’s offerings.

4. Trust signals: Showcase any of your site’s endorsements to indicate to your visitors that your brand is trustworthy.
