It is interesting how different each one of them are. But it works anyway.

https://stripe.com/connect https://stripe.com/connect is heavy on javascript (without javascript you see nothing). Scrolling in firefox is a pain. In chrome I cant even access it (Your connection is not private message with red https)

  I didn't get the HTTPS error but I did see way too much JS dependency, and that animated background requires an excessive amount of CPU for something I think is unnecessary.

I Don't think the bitcoin one gives the audience enough control over what they are seeing. It's nice to be able to scroll up and down the page to get a feel of the features. That one you have to sit through an animated sequence. I almost instinctively closed the page.

  It's definitely a divisive technique. I found myself trying to scroll down as well, and when I realized I couldn't, the second wave of animations snapped my attention back to the top, and I said "well, let's see what this is about". I think walkthroughs like that one rely on the "aha" moment. Once they had my attention, it was an impressive, easy to follow, informative mini-tour. It's getting that buy-in that's tough. While I imagine it turns many people off, I also assume that those people have low interest in what the page is about. So in that way, there's a sort of upfront filtration, where the people who aren't very interested get turned off, but the people who are watching intently get a better-than-usual payoff. I'd really like to see the research that went into the page. Stripe's design team is on point, so my guess is that they did their homework.

I feel that Stripe has an army of designers only to create landing pages for new products. They are always remarkable examples of design and function.

  We actually only have 4, and not all of them work on every landing page. They're an impressive bunch :)

I love their designs and Square's. I have used Square's earlier landing page for Square cash as inspiration but I hate the low contrast text on these stripe pages... I am all for http://contrastrebellion.com/ http://contrastrebellion.com/

  Plus, what a beautiful example of great graphic and UX design. Thanks for the link!

  Ha ha HK is one of their examples of a bad site.

Every one of those except the connect landing page successfully sold me. Those are very impressive. The connect landing page did a poor job of explaining what it was or did. It named dropped some things it hoped I would recognized, had a fancy graphic that kinda lags on firefox, and I couldn't figure out what kind of problem it solved. It's sort of about letting people transfer money to other people, with me sitting in the middle somehow? I have no doubt it exists for a reason, but a reason I can not ferret out.

I have clicked on most of the landing pages that have been linked in the comments and they all look the same.

I know I'm old fashioned, but it took probably 5 seconds to load the first one (and my internet is p good). Sure it's only 5 seconds and it does give good results - but that's long enough that I start to wonder if something is broken.
