#12They're all aesthetically pleasing, but it'd be nice to see the highest-converting and find out what makes them successful. 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.
Agreed. Some of my best converting work is considered ugly. Though money in the bank looks better than color in thy pixels. As always, test, test, test!

I think it's kinda like a fashion thing. Everybody likes blurred backgrounds today, tomorrow it'll be something else.

#14Thanks for sharing this, its a great resource.
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!

#15They all look the same! Big text, picture, sweeping statement.

#16Hey, Dropbox isn't new but it still very clean and to-the-point landing page.

https://www.quibids.com/en/landing/ 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.
I moved off that page after half a second. Why? 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 bac…
And the site looks like a giant scam too — the supposed live auctions are rotating animations, and the bid buttons turn into register buttons when clicked. I know plenty of scam sites have great tricks to increase conversions but that's not where i'd look for inspiration if i were trying to create a landing page for a real and legitimate business.

It's a penny auction site. I'm not sure I'd call it "honest." You are very likely not their target market. I don't have any inside information, but I'll bet that these tactics work really well on the type of people who are likely to sign up for a penny auction.

Hi Joss. Could you provide some examples about these last landing page with good convertion? I am really interested to see them :D
Im not taking a shot at patio11 here, because he clearly is a standout member on HN & knows what he is doing, but http://www.bingocardcreator.com/ is a good example. 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.
To me personally (I don't keep up with professional design trends), that is an amazingly well designed page. I click on it and I immediately know what the website is used for. All of the well-designed websites are too low on content; I have to search for what the website is about, and if I didn't already know what the products were I would be immediately turned off.
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.

unfortunately scammy looking websites exist for a reason. They probably do work for conversions, just not targetted at internet-savvy users
