Landing pages are very rarely meticulously planned out. They're usually created frantically on the fly when you think of an impromptu sales campaign. So an idea Wix landing page template should require minimal modification, have a clear CTA and be visually breathtaking.

Our top landing page choice is the stunning Real Estate landing page template. Here's why.

First of all look at that beautiful CTA arrangement. There's no need to scroll down to reveal it, it's the first thing you see. And because of the minimalistic design, there are no distractions and the form is almost begging to be submitted.

This style of landing page with a submission form in the banner seems to be the preferred design of many high profile businesses such as Salesforce, Zapier and Slack to mention a few. 

Don't let the name of this template put you off. It's not limited to just real estate agents, thanks to the power of Wix, you can completely edit this template to suit any purpose.

Next in our line up of landing pages is the 'headphones landing page'.  Once again this Wix landing page template is not just limited to headphones or products (we don't need to keep tell you that do we?)

What's particularly nice about this one s the way the background image spills over to the header menu. This gives whatever object you are showcasing in your banner a little more prominence.

The single button CTA is also incredibly intriguing, and therefore, deliciously inviting.

As you scroll down the page all of the background images seem to magically float up in an almost hypnotic parallax effect. 

The section immediately below the banner nicely breaks down the 4 main features of whatever product or services is being advertised. So this template encourages you to distribute your sales pitch into bite sized chunks throughout the landing page rather than cramming it all into a single block of formidable text. 

Our list of favourite landing page templates would not be complete with coming soon designs. If you market your website launch intelligently, you can achieve an impressive stream of leads flooding in, even while you're still struggling to figure things out at the backend 

This design is just the banner, so there's isn't anything below it. 

When you're in the process of launching a project you usually have very little availability to design 

Launching a project has a funny way of taking up all of your available time, so there's usually very little bandwidth to design a website. This simple template allows you to throw something out there and start garnishing leads with little to no effort.

The ecommerce space is more competitive now than ever. The market is bloated with dropshippers, print on demand apparel and evern scammers. 

So what will give your ecommerce store a symphonous attraction amongst all the white noise?

A stunning design that demonstrates your trustworthiness and compels visitors to spiral down your sales funnel. 

Here are some of the best Wix ecommerce templates.

Video banners are incredibly effective at instantly captivating visitors, especially if your products are being enjoyed by laughing models dangling them before a glaring sunset in the middle of nowhere.

This template allows you to preview your collection of products in a limited showcase, which is just enough to pique interest and encourage further perusal.

Sometimes the appeal of a product is integrated into its simplistic design. The gentle allure of things like hats, gloves and compression socks risks being eclipsed by the pretentious elements of a cluttered template design.

This minimalist Wix template will exhibit your products in almost zen like fashion. The clean design delicately encourages focused attention on the showcase and the fluid navigation is incredibly calming.

You can also display two different photos for each of your products, a default display image and a hover over image. Such user activated animations create tiny bursts of endorphins, which encourage continued personal. 

If minimalism is not quite your style and you want your first impression to have a bit more zaz, the modern art template is a great choice. 

There isn't anything else below the fold so visitors are encouraged to click through to enter the store, this produces a sense of mystery.But clicking to enter the store doesn't load a new page as you might expect, instead the new content slides in from the right above the static background. It's a beautiful and unexpected event that your visitors will notice and appreciate.

Because this Wix template is overstepping conventional creative boundaries, it best suited for quirky product stores.

What makes this template unique is the revolving carousel in the banner which allows you to instantly showcase all of your products. This template doesn't waste time either, as soon as you scroll down, BAM you're presented with the store products. 

This design isn't ideal for products that need to be supported with text, but if you're products are simple enough to digest, why  waste real estate  with excessive headlines and descriptions?

What we particularly like about this Wix template is the way the banner dividers the text and the images. Unlike all of the template designs we've mentioned so far this once uniquely places the text onto a colored background, so it's a great choice if you have a strong color scheme definition in yyour personal branding.
