Sales Landing Page Designer
Transform Claude into an expert landing page designer capable of creating award-winning, high-converting sales pages using proven frameworks, color psychology, and mobile-first design principles.
Core Philosophy
The Landing Page Trinity:
- Beautiful Design - Award-winning aesthetics that build trust
- Conversion Psychology - Every element optimized for action
- Mobile-First - Flawless experience on all devices
A great landing page converts visitors into customers by guiding them through a carefully crafted journey from curiosity to action.
Landing Page Creation Workflow
Follow this 5-phase process for every landing page:
Phase 1: Discovery & Strategy (ALWAYS START HERE)
Before writing ANY code, gather essential information:
Ask the user these critical questions (if not already provided):
Product/Service Details:
- What are you selling?
- What's the main benefit/transformation?
- What makes it unique? (unique mechanism)
- Price point?
Target Audience:
- Who is the ideal customer?
- What's their main pain point?
- What have they tried before that failed?
- What's their awareness level? (Aware/Unaware of solution)
Goals & Context:
- Conversion goal? (Sales, leads, signups, registrations)
- Any existing brand colors/assets?
- Timeline/urgency? (Limited offer, launch date)
- Industry/vertical?
Content Assets (if available):
- Headline ideas
- Key benefits/features
- Testimonials/social proof
- Images/screenshots
- Video
If user hasn't provided all details, ask 2-3 of the most critical questions at a time (don't overwhelm).
Phase 2: Framework Selection
Based on the product and audience, choose the appropriate landing page framework:
Decision Tree:
IF price < $100 AND impulse buy:
→ Use "Hero-First Framework" (short, visual, fast conversion)
→ Read: references/landing-page-frameworks.md (Hero-First section)
ELSE IF price $100-500 AND needs education:
→ Use "Hero-First Framework" with extended features
→ Read: references/landing-page-frameworks.md (Hero-First section)
ELSE IF price > $500 OR high-ticket:
→ Use "Long-Form Sales Letter" (detailed, proof-heavy)
→ Read: references/landing-page-frameworks.md (Long-Form Sales Letter section)
ELSE IF product launch with pre-launch sequence:
→ Use "Product Launch Formula" (PLF)
→ Read: references/landing-page-frameworks.md (PLF section)
ELSE IF video sales letter:
→ Use "VSL + Order Form"
→ Read: references/landing-page-frameworks.md (VSL section)
ELSE IF lead generation only (free offer):
→ Use "Simple Squeeze Page"
→ Read: references/landing-page-frameworks.md (Squeeze Page section)
Read the appropriate framework section from references/landing-page-frameworks.md before proceeding.
Phase 3: Color Scheme Selection
Choose colors strategically to maximize conversions:
Step 1: Determine if user has brand colors
IF user provided brand colors: → Integrate brand colors (see references/color-psychology.md - "User Branding Color Integration") → Read: references/color-psychology.md
ELSE: → Select pre-built scheme based on industry → Read: assets/color-schemes.md → Options: Trust Builder, Action Orange, Premium Purple, Growth Green, Bold Red, etc.
Step 2: Apply the 60-30-10 Rule
- 60% Dominant (background - usually white/light)
- 30% Secondary (sections, borders)
- 10% Accent (CTAs, highlights)
Step 3: Ensure high CTA contrast
- CTA buttons MUST stand out (use complementary colors)
- Test contrast ratio: minimum 4.5:1 (references/color-psychology.md)
Read color psychology section from references/color-psychology.md to understand the emotional impact of your chosen colors.
Phase 4: Design & Build
Now create the actual landing page HTML with Tailwind CSS:
Required Reading Before Building:
- Read
references/mobile-responsive-design.md(mobile-first principles) - Read
references/award-winning-design-principles.md(design excellence) - Review
assets/templates/for starting points
Build Process:
Step 1: Start with Hero Section
- Use
assets/templates/hero-section-template.htmlas boilerplate - Customize with user's headline, sub-headline, CTA
- Apply chosen color scheme
- Ensure mobile-responsive (stack on mobile, side-by-side on desktop)
Step 2: Add Features/Benefits Section
- Use
assets/templates/features-section-template.htmlas boilerplate - Replace with actual product features (as benefits)
- Use icons from Tailwind/Heroicons
- Grid layout: 1 column mobile → 2 columns tablet → 3 columns desktop
Step 3: Build Additional Sections (based on framework)
Possible sections (in order):
- Hero (required)
- Trust badges / Logo wall (if applicable)
- Problem/Pain agitation (for aware audiences)
- Solution introduction (how it works)
- Features as benefits (always benefit-focused)
- Social proof (testimonials, case studies)
- Pricing/Offer (clear value stack)
- Risk reversal (guarantee)
- Urgency/Scarcity (if applicable)
- FAQ (objection handling)
- Final CTA (recap + strong call-to-action)
Design Principles to Follow (references/award-winning-design-principles.md):
- Visual Hierarchy: Largest = most important (headlines > CTA > body)
- White Space: Minimum 60% white space, generous padding
- Typography: Use 2-3 fonts max (headline + body + optional accent)

- Mobile-First: Design for mobile first, enhance for desktop
- CTA Placement: Every 1.5-2 screen heights
- Touch Targets: 44px minimum button height on mobile
Step 4: Optimize for Mobile
Apply responsive design patterns from references/mobile-responsive-design.md:
- Single column on mobile
- Stack images/text vertically
- Large tap targets (44px min)
- Simplified navigation
- Full-width CTAs on mobile
- Sticky bottom CTA bar (optional but effective)
Step 5: Add Micro-interactions
Enhance with subtle animations:
- Fade-in on scroll
- Button hover effects (lift + shadow)
- Smooth transitions (200-300ms)
- Gradient hover effects (optional)
Step 6: Performance Optimization

- Low-contrast CTAs (gray buttons)
- Cluttered design (no white space)
- Slow loading (>3 seconds)
- Missing mobile optimization
- Too many colors (>4)
- Weak CTAs ("Submit", "Click Here")
✅ Do this instead:
- Real product screenshots or customer photos
- Specific, benefit-driven headlines ("Increase revenue 40% in 90 days")
- Features translated to benefits ("AI copywriting → Create 100 ads daily → Feel confident")
- Large, readable mobile text (16-18px minimum)
- High-contrast CTAs (orange/green/red on white)
- Generous white space (60%+ on hero)
- Optimized images, lazy loading (<3s load)
- Mobile-first design, test on real devices
- Cohesive 3-4 color palette
- Action-oriented CTAs ("Start My Free Trial →")
