At the start of 2023, there were 311.3 million internet users in the U.S. This is about 92% of the country’s population. Most people now consume media online. This change has created new challenges for businesses trying to adapt to the fast-changing online world.

In the digital age, achieving seamless, personalized customer experiences demands careful tech and vendor selection within budget constraints. Choosing inadequate vendors or solutions can result in compatibility issues, service disruptions, and significantly escalated costs.

As a seasoned web developer, here are some of the ways I’ve seen our landing pages solve PR problems for comms pros:

Data, data, and more data.

Depending on the type of data you have, it can be one of the most valuable resources in the world. Don’t take it from me, though.

IBM’s yearly “Cost of a Data Breach Report” said the average cost of a breach in 2023 is 4.45 million USD. Data is very valuable and important for business. So, where do we fit in?

Our landing page solution has custom tags. These tags help us categorize and track every click and interaction a user makes on the page. With that information, we can generate reports over time on page reach, page interactions, and even more.

Call to Action!
Sadly, the average attention span of a person is just eight seconds. This means I’ve likely lost most readers by now. But that’s what makes landing pages great!

A landing page offers the most direct route for having a user perform a desired action. Putting your CTA front and center removes this eight-second timer from preventing your message from being heard. As the human attention span continues to decline, less will continue to be more.

ONE SPOT.
Is there a more dreaded email than “Do you know where I can find X?” It’s not fun to send or get one of those. This is especially true if you’re on a deadline or in the middle of a launch. A nervous file-exploring session follows quickly after receiving one. A landing page prevents this by providing a convenient, centralized, and easily accessible location for your assets. Our landing pages are built responsively, allowing anyone with any device and internet connection to see your page.

Smartphone ownership is growing fast. In the U.S., 85% of adults own a smartphone. This means being accessible on any device is now necessary.

Custom Builds.
I am making this simple. We change the language that computers use. This helps us create different websites and web experiences.

Just like a normal language, it must be constrained by its rules. Our custom landing page solution lets us set the rules. This allows for a fully customizable design for your page. We can match your brand’s site or make something completely new to match your vision.

We are excited to help our clients reach more people. We also want to provide a clear and simple user experience.

The process begins with us listening to our clients’ needs and performing a comprehensive wireframing process. Once we agree on the design, assets, and content, our team starts creating a landing page. This page will match the final wireframe. After making appropriate edits and receiving approval, the page is published on the project’s launch date.

In just a few short weeks, you’ve launched one of the most accessible and easy-to-use forms of communication today. That’s pretty cool if you ask me 🤷‍♂️
