Landing Pages

Landing pages set the tone for your site. Always use a content-first approach when creating a new page:

  • Who is your primary audience?
  • What high-level information do you need to convey?
  • What can be quickly summarized, and what should be relegated to secondary pages?
  • What actions do you want your website visitors to take?

Use your content to support the design. OIT provides website consultations and analytics reviews if you need help getting started.
