About the Abacus Landing Page Creator — What can it do for your business?
     
The Landing Page Creator generates personalized landing pages which target your visitors' needs exactly. Visitors tell you why they want to buy, and your site responds accordingly in real time, thus improving greatly the likelihood that they will purchase your product.   Because the Landing Page Creator behaves like a human sales assistant by satisfying your visitors' precise requirements, your site's performance improves, whether it sells goods or services, or builds an opt-in list. Tests show that visitor responses increase by up to 300%.
Customers and affiliates can have free advertising of their products and services from the Landing Page Creator software program's user interface. Details

The Abacus Landing Page Creator's flexibility allows you to split-test infinite permutations of landing page "Welcomes", questions to ask your visitors, responses to their requirements on your sales/opt-in pages, "Thank you"/download page text and payment transaction failure page text.

Any of these permutations can be used with various styles and colour schemes, enabling you to fine-tune your web site to achieve maximum success.

  

For example, if you want someone to sign up for your on-line business scheme, you'd probably choose a "Hype" template with a "Red" style and a textual "Act Fast" banner. If you sell health products, you might prefer a "Conservative" template with a "Green" style and a graphical banner.

The Landing Page Creator software interface has direct links to professional tools to create your own customized graphical banners and buttons with ease.
The user interface of the Abacus Landing Page Creator has been designed by an HCI expert for intuitive usability.   The Abacus Landing Page Creator conforms to the legal requirement for software to be accessible to people with disabilities.
