Landing Page Design Process: How We Work and What It Costs

Before You Hire Us: Four Questions About Budget, Deliverables and Research

1. Which Design Direction: Essential, Premium or a Mix of Both?

Are stock photos, icons and AI images enough, or do you need human-made illustrations, icons, 3D and animations? The calculator below shows what each choice adds.

2. Just Design or Coding as Well?

Is a source file from Figma or Photoshop enough, or do you need HTML, Webflow, Unbounce or Shopify, responsive? We design in Figma and build in Webflow or WordPress.

3. Your Traffic Source and Audience

Send three to five competitor links and the goals of the page. Analytics, heatmaps and recordings help our research.

4. Send the Offer Early

We usually work on two to five projects a week. An early offer lets us reserve the time for you.

Landing Page Design Process: From Mood Board to the Full Page

5. Explain Your “I Like It” and “I Hate It”

We send five to ten screenshots of similar designs, and you highlight what you like and what you do not. It shows what is behind “I need an awesome design”: taste, colors, round corners or flat.

Mood board document: the client marks what they like and dislike under each reference design
The mood board: one sentence of feedback under each reference design.

6. A Quick Concept

Within a few hours, a day or two, we send one or two sections of the page, for example the header and a How It Works section, with the typography, layout, colors, buttons and forms solved.

Quick concept: a hand sketch next to the first designed section of a landing page
A quick concept: a hand sketch and the first designed section next to it.

7. Design and Coding

If you like the concept, we agree how to finish the rest of the page. After that it is usually straightforward.
