MVP Landing Page: What to Include (And What to Skip)
Your landing page has one job: make visitors understand and want your product. Everything else is noise.
Must-Have Elements
- •Clear headline: what it is + who it's for
- •One sentence: the main benefit
- •Call to action: what you want them to do
- •Social proof: who else uses it
- •How it works: 3 simple steps
The Headline Formula
[Action] for [audience] who want [outcome]
- •Invoice software for freelancers who hate admin
- •Email tool for founders who want more replies
- •Analytics for marketers who need quick answers
Skip These (For Now)
- •Feature lists longer than 5 items
- •Pricing page with multiple tiers
- •Blog or content section
- •About page
- •FAQ section
- •Multiple CTAs
Above the Fold
What visitors see without scrolling matters most. Include only:
- •Headline
- •One sentence benefit
- •CTA button
- •One image or demo
Testing Your Page
Show it to someone for 5 seconds. Then ask:
- •What does this product do?
- •Who is it for?
- •What should you do next?
If they can't answer all three, simplify. Your page is too complicated.
