How to Make a Landing Page?!

4 replies
Hi,

Newbie here. I have an extremely basic question. I couldn't find any relevant threads, but if it has been answered before, feel free to link to it.

I'm trying to create a landing/sales page for a PPC + CPA campaign, but I'm stopped at square one: I have no idea how to create just a "blank," one-column page without sidebars, etc. -- you know, the "wall of text" that you encounter on every sales page? I've tried using Wordpress but even the one-column themes insist on having the "Home," "About us" etc links as tabs on top or links on a sidebar. Do you even use Wordpress at all, or something else?

    Do a search on free landing page templates. You'll find tons of stuff you can use. I'd go with the mini site look, short, sweet and to the point. You're also going to need a Web editor to create your page. If you don't have one, check out Kompozer. You can download it free also. Good Luck!

    If you are on cpanel on your fantastico you have a webbuilder script that its useful for simple stuff like what you are talking about. Anyways if you plan on staying doing business online for any prolonged period of time, the best choice would be to teach yourself some little xhtml and latter go get the dreamweaver, its worth it.

    And as Travelinguy said- Kompozer which you get FREE at kompozer.net is great.

    KompoZer is a really full featured, open source website design program. I usually use Dreamweaver, but sometimes for a quick squeeze page I open up Kompozer.

    There is a very good, free tutorial about KompoZer at thesitewizard.com (I am not an affiliate). The tutorial is located on the left, about half way down thesitewizard's long home page.

    It is a good program to go learn. You will be building websites for years to come and you might as well learn how. You can always outsource later, but learn how they work first.

    It also helps to have at least a basic understanding of HTML tags and code. You don't neeed to code pages by hand (ugghhh - I been there done that-it wasn't fun), but learning what the tags mean will be helpful.
