Getting traffic to your site is definitely one of the most struggling things you would do in your blogging career.
But sooner or later you will succeed and get thousands of daily page views.
However, there will be one thing always missing from your website – CONVERSION.
People will visit your site, read your content and leave your site. But, that’s not what you want.
You want sales, subscribers, affiliate commissions. And how to do that?
By creating Landing Pages that converts.
What is a Landing Page?
A landing page is a standalone website page which is designed for the sole purpose of either getting sales or collect subscribers.
Landing pages are often completely different from your site and don’t include navigation menu, sidebar, or header of your site.
How to Create Landing Pages?
There are three ways you can create high converting landing pages.
- By hiring a web developer to create it using his/her programming skills. (Costly)
- Learning to code yourself and create landing pages. (Time-consuming)
- Using a drag and drop plugin that lets you create beautiful landing pages without any coding experience. (Affordable + Quick)
If you’re planning to use the first two methods, then feel free to leave this page and start searching on Google.
However, if you’re like me and want to use the last method then stick to the page as I’ll share 5 Most Loved WordPress Plugins to Create Converting Landing Pages.
Using these plugins you can easily create all kinds of pages a blog or business may need such as squeeze page, sales page, membership page, product page, portfolio, etc.
Read through the end of this article as there are few bonus plugins included which will sure to put a smile on the face of budget business owners and bloggers.
So, let’s get started.
1. Thrive Content Builder + Thrive Landing Page
Thrive Landing Pages is possibly the best WordPress plugin to create converting landing pages without touching a single line of code.
With its drag and drop functionality, you can change almost all aspects of a web page and add custom sections.
There are over 160+ templates included that are beautifully designed and converts well or you can start from scratch and create your own converting landing page.
Also, there are many two step opt-in forms available which you can use to create a different page for collecting user information.

2. LeadPages
LeadPages is what you call an advanced page builder. It is not just any regular landing page creator plugin but it’s much more than that.
LeadPages hosts your landing pages on their servers, provide fast delivery of files, and keeps your site lightweight.
Creating a landing page in LeadPages is just a matter of clicks and you’ll be amazed to see the speed of how quickly it deployed a landing page for you.
It won’t be wrong it says that LeadPage is a standalone landing page builder.
But, that doesn’t mean you can’t host your landing pages on your site. You can choose to publish the pages directly on your site using the “LeadPages” plugin for WordPress. Alternatively, you can download the HTML page to use on other platforms.
They also have a drag and drop page builder which makes things a lot easier.
Unlike Thrive Landing Pages, the ready-made templates aren’t available for free and cost anywhere between $7 to $19 for each design.

3. Beaver Builder
Technically, Beaver Builder is a drag and drop page building plugin that also works as a great tool for designing landing pages.
Beaver Builder lets you create converting landing pages by using the front end editor with drag and drop functionality.
The editor is both smooth and lags free which improves the user experience of changing and saving the landing page.
You can save your designs and use them in other landing pages which save time and provide consistency.
As of now, there are around 30 pre-made templates including with the plugin but there’s a catch here.
Beaver Builder recommends using their own theme which will let you create full width, distraction-free page without header and footer.
However, there is nothing great about their theme and you can easily get much better themes for the exact same price.
Regardless of some awesome features available, this issue has always been a concern for me.
There’s a free version available for Beaver Builder, but it is highly limited in terms of functionality. For instance, you can’t use opt-in forms and ready made template with the free version.

It enhances the speed of creating landing pages as you can quickly change the things you think are not looking good.
If you’ve tried the first version of the plugin and crying about the features it lacked then let me assure that OptimizePress 2.0 has tons of new features that are sure to put a smile on your face.
