What Is a Website Landing Page?

A website landing page is a standalone web page designed with a single goal: conversion. That conversion could be collecting an email address, booking a call, selling a product, or downloading a resource.

Unlike regular website pages (like Home, About, or Services), a landing page removes distractions. No complex navigation. No multiple CTAs. Just one clear message and one clear action.

Key characteristics of a landing page:

  • Focused on one offer
  • One primary call-to-action (CTA)
  • Minimal navigation or none at all
  • Designed for traffic from ads, emails, or social media

In simple terms, traffic lands there for a reason. That’s where the name comes from.
