Difference Between Homepage And Landing Page

A landing page is frequently confused with a home page of a website.

When users type your domain name in their browser, they will see your homepage, which is the first page of your website. In contrast, a landing page can be a single page where the majority of visitors are from paid or external traffic sources.

You can construct as many landing pages as you like for various campaigns, but your website can only have one homepage.

The homepage of your website should encourage users to interact with it, visit other pages, look at products, or register. Additional links are present, giving users more options.

A landing page, often known as a squeeze page, on the other hand, is designed for increased conversion rates. It contains fewer links and is made to allow people to either make a purchase or provide their contact information for upcoming events.

You must be thinking, what is a Hero Page?

The word “hero image” refers to the large banner image at the top of a webpage. Because of its prominent positioning at the top of a webpage, which typically stretches full-width, it is also referred to as a “hero header” and serves as a user’s first impression of your business and service.

First, select a single column or a two-column section by clicking on the “+” icon of the Elementor area (preferable). You can display your title, subheading, and image or video side by side by using a two-column section.

To add headings, drag and drop two “heading” widgets from the block area. For the primary heading, use the HTML tag H1, and for the subheading, use H2 or H3.

Now, the question is, what should you consider in the heading? The answer is, that the title should briefly summarize the services you are providing, and the subheading will elaborate on that concept in two phrases.

• Next, you have to add CTA (Call-TO-Action) button. The button should be eye-catching to the audience.
