What is a landing page?

A landing page is a web page designed for a targeted audience to take a particular action, often serving as the entry point to a website.

Why is a landing page important for your streaming service?

It serves as the first impression for potential viewers, providing a snapshot of what the streaming service offers.: A well-designed landing page can encourage visitors to sign up, subscribe, or explore more content, ultimately converting them into users.

Here is what your landing page should have?

  • Compelling Visuals: Stunning images that show off your diverse and high-quality content.

  • Clear Value Proposition: A short and crisp statement that shouts out why your streaming service is the best.

  • Strategic CTAs: Calls-to-action buttons encouraging sign-ups, trial starts, or content exploration.

Your landing page is your streaming service's front doorβ€” It should be inviting, engaging, and showcase the the fantastic content that awaits.

Let's create a landing page that not only attracts but captivates your audience.

How to customize your landing page?

  • From the Apps section of the left menu, Select Responsive Website β†’ Website(beta).

  • Head to the Pages tab

  • In the list of Pages, you will see the Landing Page (with a default page flag)

  • You can Add, Edit or Delete sections here

⚠️ Note: You have the option to include either a Grid Listing or a Scroll Widget section on your Landing page. Despite being limited to these two widgets, you have the flexibility to customize and achieve a variety of layouts and styles.

Grid listing:

A grid listing of videos on your landing page, featuring your best content can highlight the Unique Selling Point (USP) for your streaming service.

To create a grid listing, on your landing page add a new section and select grid listing

  • You need to follow the same steps as you do in a normal grid listing.

  • The only additional thing you need to do here is that you need to add the sort by details for this listing.

Under this sorting, you have the following:

  1. Default content order- Using this option you can sort the videos based on the order of the content and in case if you are using a playlist then this will be updated based on the playlist order.

  2. By Title A-Z- Using this option, The videos will be automatically arranged in alphabetical order based on the video name.

  3. By publish date- Using this option, The videos will be automatically updated based on the video publishing date on the platform. If you keep adding content then the videos will be updated automatically based on the publishing date.

Below is the sample image of how the grid listing will look on the Landing page.
