Best things in life always come in pairs \u2013 Mac and Cheese<\/em> for dinner, Red wine and candlelit dinner<\/em> for a romantic evening or Starsky and Hutch<\/em> for a great detective action. Similar is the partnership between an email campaign and its associated landing page. One is incomplete without another.<\/p>\n

While we have been talking about the leaps and bounds that email design trends have<\/a> achieved in the past year, it is equally important to learn about how different brands have been revolutionizing the Landing page design trends frontier.<\/p>\n

In such situations, illustrations are the super heroes through which the visitor can better visualize your concepts. This landing page by district0x<\/em><\/strong>, has used a background with geometric shapes (trend #1) spaced evenly with ample white space (trend #2) to highlight their illustration.<\/p>\n

#5 Headlines That Answer \u201cI want \u2026\u201d or \u201cI want to\u2026\u201d<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most of the visitors will reach your page in the quest of finding an answer that starts with \u201cI want\u2026\u201d or a variation of it. By molding your headline to answer such queries, you significantly reduce the bounce rate and in turn improve conversion rates. This landing page by Uplers  has a bold headline that connects with the prospects as soon as they visit the page.<\/p>\n

#6 Subtle opt-in request forms<\/h3>\n

\nSubtle two step opt-in forms are the best way to get refined leads. Brands are becoming conscious about the way they are requesting email addresses. With a two-step sign up trend, brands use a button or link on the landing page, clicking which the visitors encounter a new opt-in form. The visitor may also be redirected to a new landing page with a detailed form. This landing page from Leadpages<\/em><\/strong> pops-up the form when the visitor clicks the RSVP CTA button. This way only those who are genuinely inclined on attending the webinar will register.<\/p>\n

Apple introduced parallax scrolling wallpapers in their iOS 7. To the uninitiated, parallax effect means that when a user moves their device, a quasi-3D effect adds depth by moving the background wallpaper and icons in the direction of movement. Parallax effect in websites generally moves the elements in sync with the visitors\u2019 scrolling behavior. With Parallax scrolling, you have multiple advantages right from the product presentation, fun background movements, interactive design to drive engagement with action triggers and much more.<\/p>\n

With the 3D depth illusion, advanced story-telling, floating images and improved UX, Parallax is most certainly making the websites more vivacious and turning out as a robust fad followed by developers this year. In above example by Lazarev Agency<\/strong>, the elements move symmetrical to the mouse movement and creates an optical wonderland.<\/p>\n
