Hey guys, I'm doing some research on sites with great landing pages and pricing tables. Eg. http://mailchimp.com/ http://www.grappster.com/ I'm having a bit of trouble finding a large bunch which follows that type of layout. If you have any suggestions for me please point me in the right direction. If I build up a nice list I'll share it here for those who are interested.
Dear Ironcladus, You can find some good landing pages samples form this site : http://themeforest.net/
Thank you for the suggestion techbrain, but I'm looking for live production sites like the two examples mentioned earleir.
To be brutally frank there's a REASON for that -- there is NO 'content of value' on either of those pages, massive amounts of space is wasted on goofy banner type garbage and unrelated images, it's chock full of marketspeak -- and worst of all, they are accessibility train wrecks I would advise AGAINST trying to emulate. Crappy fixed width layout, absurdly undersized fixed metric fonts, color contrasts below accessibility minimums... If there is no information of value present, and accessibility issues make them painful to use, it doesn't matter how pretty it is, it's STILL useless junk. Designs like these amount to little more than dumping a can of shellac on a pile. ... and it gets even worse under the hood, with the HTML 5 asshattery mated to markup that to be frank, is more 1997 than 2013. Though that's almost ALWAYS the result one gets with off the shelf 'templates' and why that too is just as flawed an approach to deploying a website as having some artist sleaze out a PSD before you have semantic markup of content of value -- or sleazing out a page with a WYSIWYG, or SEO stuffing in redundancies, or any of the dozen other half-assed nitwit methodologies that people still end up shoving their heads so far up 1997's backside we need to call an orthodontist to handle the extraction.
