I need your help! I'm writing a book called 'The complete guide to landing page optimisation'

It's a guide to help you create amazing landing pages that convert.

I need your input on the main topics of the book.

Here's my table of contents so far:

  1. Introduction
  2. Landing page basics
  3. Copywriting
  4. Images
  5. Buttons and call to actions
  6. Pricing tables
  7. Sign up forms
  8. Social proof

Do you think there's any topics missing that I need to cover about landing pages?

Would love to know your thoughts.

Thanks in advance,

Craig

    You can have a look at the sections I covered in my book on landing pages here: https://yourlandingpagesucks.com/cookbook/

    1. 1

      Looks like a great guide! Well done : )

  2. 2
    • Inline forms vs not (my opinion is do it if you can, less steps)
    • Links and menus to home page vs not (I like leaving home page, but no other menus)
    • how it should relate to your home page / branding / style (I say it doesn't have to as this is a place to experiment and can use different font, images.. style... just same logo)
    • Social proof will have testimonials in it? what about "as seen in" or logos for integrations. I've also heard this called "Trust Symbols"

    This sounds awesome and honestly pretty helpful — good luck!

    Here are some suggestions I have:

    1. Not sure if this would go under 2. Landing page basics, but something I struggle with is knowing what to place in the header vs. the footer. (things like “About”, “Contact”, etc.).

    2. Mobile Responsiveness

    3. Someone else mentioned videos — I think optimizing videos/gifs + video hosting solutions would be helpful too!

    4. Not sure if you’re thinking about making this guide more technical, but if you are, I would recommend speaking about performance:

      1. Tips to reduce the size of your page (gzip)
      2. Using a content delivery network to make your landing page more available/performant globally
  4. 2

    Pop ups and "leaving page" alerts

    1. 1

      Thanks, yes will include these.

    I think a consistent design is also crucial in user experience.
    What about newsletter signups?

      Great point! Thank you for the input. Will include it in the guide.
