Landing Page
A standalone web page designed for a single marketing objective, such as capturing leads or driving purchases, with minimal navigation distractions.
A landing page differs from a regular web page by having one focused goal and a single call-to-action (CTA). It removes navigation menus and other distractions to maximize conversions.
