The first thing to clarify is: Never talk about the Landing page as a Homepage. It’s like saying that American pizza with ketchup is the same as real Italian. Hard, isn’t it?
We are clear on that. Let’s say what makes Landing page typical. This is the first page on your site that your visitors come in contact with. It is also the so-called gateway to advertising, which goes hand in hand with the fact that it tends to be optimized.
We know two types of Landing page. In this case, I will forgive the English translation for better authenticity.

Such a landing page invites the visitor to buy. Mostly via the “learn more” or “contact us” button.
2.) Lead generation
This type of Landing page has a specific view. Its main goal is to get useful information from your visitors. This form also contains several fields to fill in and a call-to-action call.
