Landing page design is building a single-purpose page around one goal, one offer, and one call to action, separate from your website's homepage or navigation. A homepage links out to dozens of destinations at once; a landing page sends every visitor toward the same next step, which is why dedicated ones convert at close to double the rate of general pages.
77% of pages businesses call "landing pages" are actually just homepages repurposed for a campaign, diluted by navigation menus and competing links. The median dedicated landing page converts at 6.6%, according to Unbounce's 2026 benchmark analysis of 41,000 pages and 464 million visitors, nearly double the 2.35% median for general website pages. Companies running 31 to 40 dedicated landing pages generate seven times more leads than those running five or fewer.
