What do you use for creating Landing Pages?

Hi,

Planning to re-create my landing page and looking for suggestions of both tech/non-tech tools to create landing pages. What do you guys use?

PS: Promotee is my current landing page built using next.js

  1. 3

    I use shuffle.dev currently or I buy one on Envato.

    But honestly, when i look into the comments how many possibilities exists, I ask myself what the h*ll happened with google search... never came across this sites.

    1. 2

      so true... google search gives you such a different vibe

    2. 1

      FYI:

      I created https://loginbait.com with shuffle.dev, 90% with the built-in editor and the 10% customized the html/css/JS later.

  2. 3

    sveltekit + tailwind + netlify = ❤️

    1. 1

      Share your landing page

    1. 2

      where do you host them ?

  3. 2

    Personally have used Webflow, Cardd, and Squarespace in the past.

  4. 2

    I used carrd.co for building https://getmealcoach.com/
    Carrd provided quick integration with ConvertKit for email collection
    and Google Analytics. It is good for getting a basic single page application running
    quickly. Love the one click and publish feature.

    In the future when my website growns more complex I plan to move away from Carrd. Experimenting with free NextJs templates from
    https://www.tailwindawesome.com/
    They are pretty good

  5. 2

    I tried many solutions, including WebFlow and other tools.
    I am amazed by the combo Next.js + tRPC + Tailwind CSS. I am right now putting up www.aircal.co 🚧
    Crazy fast to setup, deploy and change.

  6. 2

    I just used treact and it was super great to edit if you know react and it looks great! https://treact.owaiskhan.me/

  7. 2

    Webflow. Hard to pickup, but more rewarding. Easy to scale, more design control, better optimization.

  8. 2

    Tough one! I like a few for different reasons.

    Sleek: Cargo
    https://cargo.site/

    Designer made templates. Used for my website: https://micky.info/
    Not as easy to integrate other stuff though.

    Fast: Carrd
    https://carrd.co/

    I use this for my startup landing pages that require onboarding via 3rd party integrations like typeform, zapier etc...You can also embed a shoutout wall for social proof easily.

    https://realmwrld.com/
    https://northstar.vision/

    Range: Softr
    https://www.softr.io/

    I love softr for more functionality. I built a mental health directory for musicians using softr and I open source my research for creators and founders on another softr powered site. Visualizing airtable data in searchable databases is easy on Softr. Great for member directories as well. Some of the stuff I've made:

    https://www.creatormentalhealth.com/
    https://toolshed.softr.app/
    https://bizzylingo.softr.app/
    https://247artists.softr.app/

    I like webflow as well, just steeper learning curve.

  9. 2

    Wordpress
    I am a simple man ;)

  10. 2
    1. Using no-code, try Webflow or EarlyAccess.to (for a fast one page)

    2. Using custom design and stuff, I personally use Nextjs and Tailwind

    1. 1

      and you can drag and drop your HTML to staticfast.com to host. :)

  11. 2

    Nice landing page but could have a bit more character with some illustration / design elements.

    If you're a coder then vanilla CSS + HTML/JS goes quite a long way or any static site generator (like ghost). Then you can host it via CDN (netlify / vercel) and you'll have amazing experience all over the planet :). If you're already using next.js and feel comfortable maybe worth taking a shot at using it to build a landing page and do SSR?

    1. 2

      agree. For a simple landing page even nextjs would be overkill. Just use webflow it is easy to use and makes your website look fancy without lots of time input

  12. 2

    I'm using the tool I built. I can easily create landing pages with Notion and change content in the blink of an eye. Bonus: I have built-in analytics so I don't have to integrate a third party service.

    Btw, tail.so website is created with Tail :)

    https://tail.so

  13. 2

    I use NextJS and Tailwind.
    I've learned that you can be lame at design and still get something nice, just by picking good fonts. The refactoringUI book is a good start.

  14. 2

    I use NextJS and Tailwind/Chakra CSS framework for creating the landing page.

  15. 2

    For Landing Pages creation, you can use Hubspot & Unbounce like platforms to make engaging pages with alot of precreated templates.

  16. 2

    Unbounce: Unbounce is a popular landing page builder that allows users to create custom landing pages without any coding experience.

    Instapage: Instapage is another popular landing page builder that provides a drag-and-drop interface and a variety of templates to choose from.

    Leadpages: Leadpages is a landing page builder that offers a wide range of templates and integrations with various marketing tools.

    ClickFunnels: ClickFunnels is a landing page builder that specializes in creating sales funnels, allowing you to create entire sequences of pages.

    HubSpot: HubSpot is a complete marketing software suite that includes a landing page builder, as well as other tools for lead generation, email marketing, and more.

  17. 2

    I use svelte framework. Spins up fast html js website that is blazing fast . Great for static web landing pages if you know bit of javascript code (no not for totally non tech person) . Gives you full control and things like form submissions etc can be handled free by sites like netlify etc . https://squaredojo.com/#/logmypoop is the landing page i created for my app. By the way there is bug on your promotee page
    TypeError: e.data.map is not a function - seems like you are expecting receive data as an array but it nothing in there or is an object.

  18. 2

    If you know React, gatsby + netlify is a decent option. Gatsby has a bunch of landing page templates to start from. Completely free, server side rendered and performant.

  19. 2

    I'm currently using OptimizePress.

  20. 2

    I've used Carrd recently; building everything else is something I enjoy, but when it comes to the landing page I always procrastinate. It worked nicely with Carrd, with the main advantage being the quick time to put it together from one of the templates and automatically getting a reasonably good mobile/responsive version.

    Eventually, that will become a custom HTML page, but just to get it out the door, I feel like Carrd is doing a good-enough job of being simple and quick, but allowing just enough to not make it look like a standard landing page generator type of thing.

    1. 1

      I hear you !! same with me, I get lazy with landing pages lol

  21. 2

    If you are planning to recreate your landing page, there are various tech and non-tech tools available that you can consider using.

    For non-tech tools, you can use platforms like Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress that offer easy-to-use drag-and-drop interfaces for building landing pages without requiring any coding skills. These platforms provide templates, customizable themes, and plugins that can help you create a professional-looking landing page in no time.

    On the tech side, you can use tools like Webflow, Unbounce, or Instapage, which offer more advanced features for building landing pages. These platforms provide a visual editor, A/B testing, and analytics tools that can help you optimize your landing page for conversion.

    As for your current landing page built using Next.js, it is a great choice if you are familiar with React and want to build a fast and performant landing page with server-side rendering capabilities.

    Ultimately, the choice of tools depends on your specific needs and preferences. It's worth considering factors like ease of use, customization options, cost, and integration with other tools before making a decision.

  22. 2

    Just a couple of weeks ago I've gathered a list of free and super-cheap tools for all the landing page needs from hosting to domains to email lists to whatnot - https://www.indiehackers.com/post/free-and-very-cheap-tools-for-a-full-featured-landing-page-19-year-domain-price-67666faf3b

    Just for the indiehacker style landing page without any extra services - Carrd is good and cheap, EarlyBird is simpler, but more expensive.

    1. 1

      This is really a good post. I will check these tools out.

  23. 2

    keen to see some actually relevant landing page builder recommendations, too

    1. 2

      He already plugged in lol

  24. 2

    Carrd is great for 1 pagers.

    If you can code https://versoly.com/ has a very low learning curve and unlimited flexibility. It also has a no-code mode where you can use the UI.

    1. 1

      versoly is good dude. But pricing is the only thing that stops me from going with it.

  25. 1

    I use nextjs and tailwind, simply because the combo is fast to develop and I don’t need to learn other tools. Usually it takes a few hours from 0 to MVP.

  26. 1

    Sorry, I know only node.js(((

  27. 1

    Unless you have a product-market fit (meaning you have already validated your business idea), and the product is already making a profit, you can try to use earlyAccess.to if you're in the process of testing and searching for validation.

    I built the tool to help founders save time, money, and energy while working on their product-market fit.

  28. 1
    1. Mailchimp- allows users to create free landing pages
    2. Carrd for making free landing pages.
      3.ConvertKit for driving email newsletter signups.
    3. Unbounce for small businesses with a budget.
      5.Swipe Pages for mobile-first landing pages.
      6.Leadpages for selling products on a landing page.
  29. 1

    I'm using WordPress with Elementor PRO. Works very well. You have to pay a little for the PRO version of Elementor, but it is worth it.

  30. 1

    I also design lending page for my site. please also give some reviews. (https://artifick.com/lovot-the-ultimate-companion-robot-for-a-better-life/)

  31. 1

    Framer (www.framer.com) is really great meanwhile!

  32. 1

    Webflow is great.

  33. 1

    Amazing information(https://lottomania.in/nirmal-lottery-result/) has been shared here about this.

  34. 1

    We use Cardd. It's worked really well for us. Would highly recommend it.

  35. 1

    For our landing page at https://excelly-ai.io/, I used a template from UIDeck. It gave me a static website with Tailwind CSS, and from there I manually adapted it.
    From what I have heard, webflow should be a great choice when it comes to No-code.

  36. 1

    I use https://docusaurus.io/, since my project is still "just" an open source project that will potentially grow into a SaaS business.

    If I would go "all-code" though I would use https://astro.build/

    Since I'm an old-timer in the game I don't believe to much in site builders, and I rather would let the code define the layout and work with the content I would go with something like https://wagtail.org/ which makes any Django site a CMS :)

  37. 1

    Select a landing page template.
    Give your landing page a name.
    Add your unique content.
    Include striking images.
    Choose a relevant domain name.
    Make sure all your links and CTAs are working.
    Complete your meta description and SEO title.
    Publish!

  38. 1

    I recommend you using Imagen-ai.app
    The amazing image generation tool to get similar images royalty free and if you upload a landing page UI, it will give you more landing page designs

  39. 1

    At https://simplesuite.co we basically use the following stack for our "Prototype" package:

    (1) Landing page - Nextjs/TailwindCSS
    (2) Email collection - Mailchimp/Convertkit
    (3) Analytics - Google Analytics

    It's the most straight forward stack for quick prototyping and putting your idea out there.

  40. 1

    Yes I also Planning To Create Landing Page For My Site
    https://accucaptions.com

  41. 1

    Any Static Site Generator in a language you know would suffice. Don't use a web builder if you plan to grow your SaaS.

  42. 1

    Most of the time use html template with bootstrap.

    1. 1

      and you can drag and drop your template to staticfast.com to host it.

  43. 1

    React works fine for me a lot of templates to choose from we build https://ideatank.live using react.

  44. 1

    When creating a landing page, I use a combination of Next.js, Tailwind, and Netlify. I refer to similar types of projects to design the page. The best thing about using this combination is that it makes applying SEO easy and fast and deploying the website is simple.

  45. 1

    It depends on your skill level and needs. Personally I like to use vercel.com to whip up a site where I can code some stuff.

    I use Tailwind starter kits to go fast. I can have a custom site up in 1 hour.

  46. 1

    I recommend using 'webflow' and 'typedream' in case of your landing page.

    1. typedream : the most simple & best way to build / Flexibility ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    2. webflow : you can create an attractive home page. Also lots of legacy, references, community./ Flexibility ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    3. Softr : the easiest way to develop web. / Flexibility ⭐️⭐️
  47. 1

    Personally I use a website and a funnel, they both are similar but has different functionality. If you are passive about collecting leads then you can build a landing page on most websites available, or custom make one yourself, if you would like to go aggressive with a landing page then you should look into getting a funnel , with a funnel you'll have more analytics, triggers for upsell, down sell, cross sells, A/B testing etc for more conversions or leads.

    A website is like a house where you can find different rooms with different things inside, like pictures, videos, and information. You can visit each room by clicking on buttons or links.

    On the other hand, a funnel is like a path that you follow to get to a specific place or goal. Imagine that you want to buy a toy. The funnel is the path that you follow to go from not knowing about the toy to buying it. The funnel can have different steps or stages, like learning about the toy, deciding to buy it, and completing the purchase.

    So, in short, a website is like a house with different rooms, and a funnel is like a path or steps you follow to reach a goal or destination.

    Website builder for landing page/s: Framer - Cheap, Editor X - Affordable, Webflow - Expensive

    Funnel builder for landing page/s: Systeme.io - Cheap, Light Funnels - Affordable, Clickfunnels - Expensive

  48. 1

    I use Figma to design and after design, I use WordPress to develop.

  49. 1

    Your post has perfect timing - I am currently looking at different options for landing pages to validate some SaaS ideas. Thanks for all the great replies as well. Good stuff for me to use in my research.

  50. 1

    As others and you have said, I use Next.JS and some UI kits over Tailwind (Flowbite or Daisy UI).

    I've found myself starting from scratch each time that I created a starter template for myself to get rolling faster.

  51. 1

    Figma + NextJS + Styled Components

    I've tried out Framer and Webflow. I really like Framer, but I think Webflow has more content and documentation.

  52. 1

    Webflow all day long. Not only it's actually quite easy to learn (I'd say I've had a good handle on how to create custom layouts in two days), but it also has a lot of templates you can buy or use for free to eliminate the need for any custom design altogether.

    Just a great easy to use tool. Not the cheapest though.

    1. 1

      did you have previous coding experience?

      1. 1

        I'd say rudimentary. I've learned coding as I managed a lot of developers, but I was never a developer myself.

        I think knowing html helps with webflow as you'll right away understand margins and padding for example. Or what divs and sections are. But really the way it's organized on webflow look more like an hierarchical file/folder structure where you can add settings for every element. So it is somewhat intuitive to understand even without coding knowledge.

        1. 1

          I want to create a webflow page, but have no time to invest in learning html and CSS, from your reply I understand it's doable

          1. 1

            well.... webflow is just a nice interface without you having to actually type the code. Yet, you will learn the css and html concepts along the way. just do it

            1. 1

              💙

              how long do you think it will take to create a 6-8 pages website?
              I already have the design, just looking for some ballpark estimation to put it into my agenda 🙂

              1. 1

                hey sorry for the late reply. If you still need the information: I think it will take a week to finish the first website and about 2 more days to finish the remaining pages (depending on the complexity of the design)

  53. 1

    I'm using stack that I have comfortable with, right now I'm using Next.js with Chakra.

  54. 1

    We use Webflow. Before we used Next.js etc. but omg that was a waste of time and money.

    You need to:

    • update landing page regularly
    • you need to optimize webpage for SEO
    • you need to optimize webpage for speed

    Webflow does it for us.

  55. 1

    I'm also working on a landing page, I have some wordpress and programming experience, so I went building my own using html & javascript. For the server side(which is very simple) I'm exploring a options, php or nodejs(using lambda functions).

    I have to admit I didn't check any specialized landing page solutions, but I tried bubble from no-code area.

    The reason I decided to implement my own was mainly because I plan to release several projects in the coming months, so building it from zero would require more initial time, but hopefully less time on reusing it.

  56. 1

    I tried every single tool out there (webflow, wordpress, typedream, carrd) and got back to mere html, css, js

    1. 1

      haha, feels like I will need to do vhi

  57. 1

    I use Mumara because it is highly reliable due to its extensive features. It is easy to use and comes up with a variety of customizable landing pages.

  58. 1

    Webflow has always been my go to platform!

  59. 1

    Here are few simple no-code builders you can use:
    • Popsy (https://popsy.co) — page editor in notion style
    • UnicornPlatform (https://unicornplatform.com) — very simple builder
    • TypeDream (https://typedream.com) — another simple builder
    • Notion + Super.so is a nice combo I use a lot
    • Framer, Webflow, Tilda — For nice dynamic websites

    PS I'm building the simplest landing page builder possible, give it a try too:
    https://page.mmntm.build

      1. 1

        Yeah, building a lot of products for clients :D

        For client work we mostly use Webflow
        For indie work I love Notion + Super but it feels cumbersome after Popsy

  60. 1

    Personally I would recommend you to check:

    Typedream
    Swipe Pages
    Webflow

    If you want to explore more options, I curated a list of 20 best nocode landing page tools. You can find it here: https://launchpedia.co/launchpedia-tools/?_select_category=landing-page

    1. 2

      I will check them out. The only problem with no-code is the pricing.

  61. 1

    I'm buying a template, modify it, and publish on Azure Static Websites

    1. 1

      This is interesting. Has it been working for you?

      1. 1

        Azure Static is awesome because you can have a repository on GitHub and the whole deployment pipeline set up in under a minute. Ideal for landing pages and MVPs.

  62. 1

      1. 1

        you can make a landing page, pay $8, export the website, and cancel the plan immediately. then host the exported HTML on a static hosting server for pennies.

    Hosting is covered by Netlify.

    1. 1
