Anatomy of a Page That Converts
Headline. Subhead. Benefits. Proof. CTA. In that order.

Why it works
A landing page has one job: get the visitor to take ONE action. Every element either supports that action or works against it.

When to use it
For every ad, lead magnet, launch, or paid campaign — never send paid traffic to your homepage.
When NOT to use it
Don't add a nav menu on a paid-traffic landing page — it leaks attention.
How to use it
- Headline: name the outcome in under 12 words.
- Subheadline: clarify who it's for and how it works.
- 3-5 benefits (not features).
- Social proof: logos, testimonials, numbers.
- Single, repeated CTA above fold + after each section.
- Mobile-first design — test thumb-reachable buttons.
