Landing page

The first page of a service - what it does, what users need, and a start button.

On this page

The landing page is the entry point for a service. Lead with the service name, say in one line what it does and who it is for, then give a single clear “Start now” button. Tell users what they need before they begin so they do not get part-way through and have to stop.

When to use this page

Use it as the first page of any transactional service. Link to it from the service’s place in the wider site so users arrive here before the first question.

What to include

A plain-language name and description, roughly how long it takes, any cost, what the user needs to hand, and one prominent start action. Keep everything else off this page - guidance and eligibility detail belong in their own pages.
