What Should Be on Your Biotech Landing Page?

When someone lands on your biotech website, whether it’s a potential partner, investor, or customer, you have seconds to earn their trust. And in biotech, where the science is complex and the stakes are high, your landing page needs to do more than just look professional.

It needs to educate, build credibility, and make a compelling case for what you do, all at a glance.

So what should be on your biotech landing page? Here’s a breakdown of the essential elements for early-stage biotech and life science companies building a credible digital presence.

‍

1. A Clear Value Proposition

Your landing page should instantly answer:

• What do you do?
• Who is it for?
• Why does it matter?

Example: “We’re engineering microbial systems to sustainably produce rare bioactives for women’s health.”
Keep it clear, not clever, your visitors aren’t there to decode jargon.

‍

2. Scientific Credibility Without Overwhelm

Biotech websites often swing too far into dense, technical language or too far into vague startup-speak. Find the balance:

• Highlight your scientific approach, platform, or core innovation
• Use visuals (diagrams, molecule sketches, tech platform illustrations)
• Back up your claims with publications, advisors, or research partnerships

‍

3. Strong Visual Hierarchy

A clean, intentional layout is critical, especially when your work is complex. Use:

• High-contrast headers
• Easy-to-scan content blocks
• Custom icons to represent your pillars: platform tech, clinical pipeline, or sustainability claims

Tip: Hire a web designer who understands how to translate scientific depth into visual simplicity. This is where most generalist designers fall short.

‍

4. Calls to Action for Every Audience

Biotech landing pages often forget this:

• Investors need a CTA to view your pitch or request a deck
• Researchers want to learn about your platform or open roles
• Partners may want to schedule a call or download a one-pager

Make these actions clear and easy, don’t bury your “Contact Us” in the footer.

‍

5. Responsive Design

Whether someone is viewing your site on a laptop at a conference or their phone in a lab, your landing page must:

• Load quickly
• Be mobile-optimized
• Keep layout integrity across devices

‍

6. Your Team

Your science matters, but who’s behind it matters more.

• Show your founders, advisors, and scientific leads
• Link to bios or LinkedIn
• Include investor logos (if relevant) or accelerators like IndieBio, Y Combinator, etc.

‍

7. Visual Differentiation

Most biotech sites look the same: stock molecules and gradient backgrounds. Stand out with:

• Custom illustrations
• A tailored color palette
• Photography that feels authentic to your brand (e.g., your lab, your team, your mission)

‍

Final Thought:

Your landing page is often the first, and only, touchpoint someone may have with your company. In biotech, design is translation, credibility, and positioning.

If you're a life science company ready to upgrade your web presence, working with a designer who understands the industry can accelerate investor interest, build trust with partners, and help you launch with impact.
