25 Landing Page WordPress Themes That Convert

In this article we are defining landing page wordpress themes as those that are designed to maximize conversions whether that be a purchase, sign up, click through or some other action. Sometimes known as Squeeze pages, they are solely focused on convincing the visitor to take some action and their design has been heavily influenced by the art/science of digital marketing. Conversion rate optimization (CRO) specialists often extol the virtues of single landing pages as one of the most effective ways to market a product or service and convince the target audience to stop, take notice and engage.

One school of thought is that any decent landing page should have a prominent call to action (i.e. a button or form) above the fold. This ‘rule’ and other developed through split testing various designs and comparing conversion rates, has been followed by most of the designers we are showcasing below. We have listed the best ones below that use WordPress and plan to keep this page updated with fresh wordpress landing pages every few months.

If you are looking to have more flexibility in the designs and A/B split test landing page designs you may also be interested in looking at using Unbounce which will allow you to easily edit every aspect on the page and split test conversion rates. This is ideal for PPC advertising where you do not need to add multiple pages of content for SEO purposes which is the advantage of using WordPress. If you are interested in trying out Unbounce, our list of the top unbounce landing page templates are listed here.
