Hi Jon,
It depends in part on the amount of information you need to communicate in order to convince someone to make a purchasing decision (of fill out your lead gen form).

I don’t have anything specific to send your way in terms of microsite vs. landing page as we’ve really not taken the product to the microsite level yet.

We do have customers creating them - but we haven’t designed features with microsites in mind as of yet (such as a state aware shared navigation bar etc).

I hope that helps in some way.

Cheers
Oli

thanks oli, yes this helped, and I do think its just a case of testing different versions.

Thanks for your feedback
