Add a landing page layout to your Wordpress Blog.

How does having two distinctly different webpage designs on one site affect the continuity and branding of your site?

This question has been on my mind a lot. Some of my pages are starting to operate more as landing pages (gasp!) then as blog pages. This might be true for some pages of your blog also. So my thought was to take some of the more frequented pages that I’d like people to read without the typical “Internet ADD” and move them to a more simple design that is comfortable to read and easier for deeper reading- not just scanning.

Here is my current design with green lines through the sections that might just steal people’s attention away from the content they came to see:

And with a little help from a theme I designed about a year ago called the Ugly Theme, there is this page with the new, simple layout…

With Wordpress, this whole process is actually pretty easy.

I’ll keep you updated as to how well the new pages perform, as well as if people seem to have issues with the two distinct looks on one site.
