Landing Page Structural Elements: The Header

A high-converting landing page almost always follows a structure.

Let’s see how specific strategies can help orchestrate an engaging landing page.

Typically, a landing page cover consists of the following:

  • The Heading 
  • Subheading
  • Button
  • Images
In this piece, we will explore the structural element: the header.


The Headline is the first thing that a visitor will read. Let’s explore some strategies.

1- Clarity:
It has to be clear - so the reader isn’t left wondering what it’s all about!
Example: “Relieve ear pain Instantly with AY Ear Drops: Medically approved formula”.

2- Packs a punch: A punch wouldn’t hurt - make it exciting or attention-grabbing.
Example: “You’re Running Out of Energy! Here’s How to Fix It.”

3- Curiosity: Throw some curiosity into the mix.
Example: Suppose This Happened on Your Graduation Day!”

4- Solution-oriented: Show how you are solving the problem for your customer.
Example: “Waking up tired every day? Learn how to improve your sleep”.

Landing Page Insights: Why do You Need a Landing Page?

Wondering how you can reach your potential customers or attract new ones? Maybe you already have a website and are looking to create a landing page to amp up sales.

De-coding Landing Pages: What Are they?

I think of landing pages as marvels of art mixed with a tinge of logic and structure. For me, a landing page is my decorated shop. If a visitor makes their way to my shop, he either has an interest or intent to buy a solution to a problem he is battling. The question that I ask myself is - Can I provide them with the solution he is looking for? Point to note : Customers pay for solutions , not products or services.
