Land Book - The best and most inspiring landing pages
land-book.com
land-book.com
Some landing pages look like shit but convert like the Spanish Inquisition, so I'd rather base my inspiration on those than a pretty but poor-performing landing page.
It doesnt follow any of the "design trends" you would see on dribbble or have the modern look that the sites on land-book do, but I would guess it converts much higher than most of these sites.
For instance, on the Spotify website, I am told two things: it is called Spotify and it has something to do with music. "Music for every moment" doesn't tell me much about the functionality of the product and really doesn't sell me on it. Lapka is even worse by not telling me a single thing on the actual page.
Is a horrible looking landing page, but every single pixel has been A/B tested and it has a great conversion rate. Especially considering the lifeblood of the site is through marketing (as user retention is extremely difficult), an excellent landing page is essential.
Because its invasive. I had my volume off on my computer because I need silence at this very moment, yet these bastards turn my local computer's volume up. I mute again and the volume turns on again. This is the most blatantly disrespectful practice I have ever been exposed to from an "honest" site.
Two things I can't stand:
Music. I tend to have my own music in the background. If I really need to listen to the website, I will turn on the volume myself.
My Desktop is MY DESKTOP. I did not give this website permission to turn on the volume on MY DESKTOP! I don't care how honest your company is, this makes you look like a virus, and if you aren't pushing viruses, I can't think of a more clear and blatant disrespect to the users than this. Did they ever think that someone has a sleeping person / baby nearby? Maybe the person is at a library. Regardless if the person has any good reason, DON'T TURN ON MY DESKTOP VOLUME.
That site look exactly like those paper flyers you get in your home mailbox. Maybe their target market is stay at home moms. Thus the look and feel, and the auto play sound.
I don't see a way to submit a site to be added to the list, so I'll comment it here. You should add these 2 great landing pages:

What's the goal of the landing page? Why does this design meet this goal better than if it were designed in this other way? Some analysis of the landing page and service, coupled with analytics and conversion optimization results, would make this significantly more valuable of a resource.
They are nice and all, but most of them are almost copy-paste jobs of each other.
I'm in the process of making a landing page for something I've been working on right now.
It would be great to get some feedback from the HN community - you guys all have way more experience than me.
The app is called Senso, and its designed to make it easy for children to recognise and learn about emotions in themselves and others:
The page isn't quite ready yet but its hopefully not too far off. There's a known issue with black lines appearing on the sides of the video in safari.
In particular, it would be fantastic to get some ideas for giving incentives for people to share the page. We still need to clean up the section after the signup too :-/
Thanks in advance!
Personally, I've always found good the landing page of Dropbox with 120s video that explains exactly the core. Something almost impossible with a one-liner.
Who cares if it has blinking text and a giant animated under construction sign? If it converts, it's good.
