If your landing page is primarily for data capture, it’s important to ensure that form filling is kept to a bare minimum. Though it’s useful to have a huge amount of customer data on file, what do you really need beyond a name, email address and possibly a phone number?

Conversion rates on mobiles are generally extremely low, so don’t expose yours further by requiring users to fill in a massive data capture form.
