Hello. I am Peter Cuber, Project Manager at WeLoveWeb. If you have reached this point, you likely already have a website or are considering launching one, but a question lingers in your mind: “Why isn’t my page selling as much as I would like?” Throughout my career managing digital projects, I have realized that many people confuse having a website with having a sales machine.
It is not enough to simply “be on the internet.” What you truly need is a converting landing page. It is not magic; it is a blend of psychology, strategic design, and impeccable technical execution. In this article, I want to share my direct experience and the secrets we apply at our agency so you can stop losing leads and start seeing tangible results.
The Psychology Behind a Converting Landing Page
The first thing you must understand is that users arriving at your landing page have little time and are in a hurry. Attention is the scarcest asset in the digital age. According to usability research by the Nielsen Norman Group, users do not read; they scan. Therefore, a converting landing page must be structured to be understood in under five seconds.
When I propose a new corporate web design project, I always insist on the same principle: eliminate distractions. A landing page is not your homepage; it does not need complex navigation menus or links to your latest blog posts. The sole objective is for the user to perform a specific action. If you give them too many options, they will leave without choosing any.
The “Above the Fold”: Your Only Opportunity
The “Above the Fold” refers to everything a user sees without needing to scroll. It is the most valuable area of your website. For it to be a converting landing page, it must answer three questions immediately:
- What do you offer? (Clear value proposition).
- How does it help me? (Direct benefit for the user).
- What should I do now? (Call to Action or CTA).
Use a powerful headline that addresses your client’s pain point. Do not say “We are marketing experts”; say “Do you want to double your sales in three months?”. Specificity sells much more than generality.
Critical Elements That Cannot Be Missing
At WeLoveWeb, we have audited hundreds of sites, and the difference between resounding success and failure often lies in the details. Here are the points I personally review on every converting landing page that leaves our studio:
1. Social Proof: The Authority That Builds Trust
No one wants to be the first to try something that seems risky. According to web credibility studies conducted by Stanford University, credibility significantly increases when tangible proof of authority is included.
- Real testimonials: With names, photos, and, if possible, job titles.
- Client logos: If you have worked with well-known brands, showcase them.
- Certifications and awards: Everything that demonstrates you are a trustworthy professional.
2. A Single, Irresistible Call to Action (CTA)
I have seen landing pages with buttons that say “Submit,” “More information,” and “Subscribe” all at once. Error! A converting landing page has only one objective. The action button must stand out visually, using colors that contrast with the rest of the page and text that invites action: “I want my free consultation” is infinitely better than “Click here.”
3. Copywriting Focused on Benefits, Not Features
Your client does not care that your software has 50 features. What they want to know is that this software will save them 2 hours of work per day. Talk about how your user’s life will change after hiring you. If you can connect emotionally, your converting landing page will be unstoppable.
The Role of Design and Speed
Sometimes we focus so much on what we want to say that we forget how we present it. Good corporate web design must not only be aesthetically pleasing; it must be functional. Aesthetics must always serve conversion.
Loading speed is a determining factor. If your page takes more than three seconds to load, half of your potential clients will have left before seeing your offer. At WeLoveWeb, we optimize every image and every line of code because we know that every millisecond counts in the final profit balance.
The Importance of Responsive Design
It is not new, but I still encounter landing pages that are a disaster on mobile. In Spain, mobile traffic already surpasses desktop traffic in many sectors. Your converting landing page must be “Mobile-First.” Ensure that buttons are easy to tap with a thumb and that text can be read without straining the eyes.
Data, Metrics, and the Art of Continuous Optimization
As a Project Manager, I do not believe in hunches. I believe in data. A converting landing page is never 100% finished. It is a living organism that must evolve.
To know if we are on the right track, our agency uses heat map tools and session recordings. If we see that users get “stuck” in a section or do not click where we want them to, we adjust, test, and measure again.
A/B Testing is your best friend. Sometimes, changing the color of a button or the main headline can increase conversion by 20% or 30%. Do not take anything for granted: Let your audience tell you what they prefer.
Experience and Trust: The E-E-A-T Approach
For Google, and especially your clients, to trust you, you must demonstrate that you know what you are talking about. In this article, I have tried not only to give you theory but to show you how we work at WeLoveWeb. Authority is earned through results and transparency.
When we design a converting landing page, we do not just put pretty pictures. We analyze the market, study the competition, and create a personalized strategy. There are no magic templates; there is well-executed work.
If your business depends on attracting clients online, you cannot afford a mediocre landing page. The investment in a professional page quickly pays off when you start seeing those clicks transform into emails from interested clients.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): How to Design a Converting Landing Page
It depends on the complexity, but at WeLoveWeb, we typically have a functional and optimized structure ready within 2 to 4 weeks, including the strategy, copy, and design phases.
There is no fixed rule. If your product is expensive or complex, you will need more text to convince (long landing page). If it is a simple registration or a well-known product, a short landing page usually works better.
You can, but it is not ideal. A corporate website has many distractions. A converting landing page is designed for a single action, which typically triples the success rate compared to a standard page.
Google Analytics 4 is essential for basic metrics, but we also recommend tools like Hotjar to view heat maps and understand actual user behavior on the page.
Yes, especially if you plan to attract organic traffic long-term. However, many landing pages focus on paid traffic (SEM), where the absolute priority is immediate conversion over keyword structure.
