Landing page vs website: which do you actually need?

The matmad team·

A landing page and a website look similar but do different jobs. Picking the wrong one wastes budget. Here's how to decide.

Use a landing page when…

  • You're running a paid ad or email campaign
  • You're launching a single product or offer
  • You need to maximise one specific conversion
  • You want to A/B test a message quickly

Use a full website when…

  • You need to establish credibility and brand
  • You want to rank organically across many topics
  • You have multiple services, products, or audiences
  • You're publishing content or case studies over time

Often, you need both

A common, effective setup: a full website for organic growth and trust, plus dedicated landing pages for each paid campaign. They reinforce each other.
