Key takeaways
- 01Choose by the number of user needs, not the cheapest format.
- 02One page suits one coherent offer and journey.
- 03Distinct services and search needs often deserve separate pages.
When one page works
A landing page can explain one offer to one audience: an event, service or product. A sequence of evidence and clear actions works well when visitors arrive with a specific expectation.
It becomes less useful when several unrelated services and audiences compete on the same page.
When sections help
A multi-page site suits multiple services, substantial case studies and recurring publications. Separate addresses let visitors explore relevant material without making the home page endless.
Do not create empty sections merely to look substantial. Each page needs its own purpose and useful content.
Match acquisition to destinations
Different search needs benefit from corresponding pages. Campaigns also need a close match between promise and destination. Neither format guarantees results.
Map audience, question, offer and page. This reveals which needs can share a route and which compete.
Choose a sufficient first version
A company website can include focused landing pages. A single-service launch can also grow if its structure anticipates expansion.
Consider content ownership, independent offers and likely changes. Evaluate clarity and future maintenance rather than screen count.
- One product and one task: consider a landing page.
- Several services and case studies: consider separate sections.
- Mixed demand: combine a shared site with focused landing pages.
