Core workflow
- A homepage serves multiple visitor types and discovery paths.
- A landing page normally serves a narrower campaign or intent.
- Homepages usually keep broader navigation.
- Landing pages often reduce competing actions.
- Either page can convert; they simply have different jobs.
Tool choice comes after the workflow
Software should remove friction from a defined process. Avoid selecting a plugin first and then inventing a strategy around its feature list.
