That truly is a great landing page. The fake notifications were so entertaining I shared it with some friends.

https://ninite.com/ You get the explanation, the selector and the recommendations all in one page.

I disagree, that page is way too crowded. I wanted to click off immediately. It still took me a minute to figure out what the offer was because of all the other stuff on the page. That is the beauty of airbnb's landing page, you get a sense right off the bat of exactly what it is they are selling.

Chocolatey is better anyway

Note they are using real people's faces without permission (through randomuser.me / uifaces.com) for the avatars in those 'funny' sample notifications.

Whoever did the writeup for that one - you have all my respect.

Hm ... I like the design and it's cool maybe for a product video or commercial, but I don't think it's a good landing page - not much information and too many moving parts.

People can also get disengaged by too much distraction I would guess (at least I do).

For us less technical user, what do y'all recommend for creating great landing pages?

If you're mentioning "less technical" I assume you're talking about tools? You can make good landing pages in Wordpress using a page builder like Elementor (just drag & drop). You might need a bit of HTML/CSS here and there to customize things, but you should be able to get by without it.

Thanks! Yes, referencing tools.

Your landing page is going to depend highly on your target audience.

I worked at a place whose demographic was women aged 35+. Our landing page looked god awful -- super long, giant graphics and text, testimonials, autoplaying video, etc. But no matter how modern we tried to make it, the shitty eye-bleaching one always won out in A/B tests.
