Hi all,
I could use some help/direction re building a landing page. I have plenty of info on what it should contain, but not how to actually build it. Are any of the free templates worth a try? Must it be hosted, just like a website?
Thanks,Beth

@bethnovick – I follow Pat Flynn at Smart Passive Income and today he sent out a newsletter about this very subject. I haven’t had the opportunity to watch his videos yet but it might be worth your time – let me know if you watch the vids and what you think of them.

@mwwazup Thanks, Mike. This link seems to be specific to a landing page for Facebook. I’d prefer a regular landing page.

A landing page is the same as a webpage though normally it doesn’t necessarily have more than 1 page. To answer your question yes it needs to be hosted somewhere and there are a lot of free templates out there.
What is the link to the landing page that you need redone?

@scottmadden A colleague and I are renting space to teach classes — she does cycling, I do group fitness — and I just need a simple one-page online presence so people can get class info and we can gather the visitors’ info.

@bethnovick If you are a member of your Chamber of Commerce (or another professional association), your membership might include a free mini Web page you could use as your initial online presence. You can also set up a free Web site (one or more pages) at Weebly.com.

@debbielynnava Weebly’s free to set up, but not to activate. Seems a little sneaky of them.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I just broke down and am building one on Bluehost.

They do need to be hosted just like a website. A couple things to keep in mind… keep it simple and try to keep everything above the fold. There was a great post on Search Engine Watch - http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2161567/Killer-Landing-Pages-3-Examples-of-Landing-Pages-that-Convert.
Hope this helps!

@bethnovick The last time I checked, Weebly had a free version, a teacher/educator version, and a pro version you do have to pay for. Sorry for the confusion.

I have several landing pages that I created within my WordPress website.
Many people build landing pages that are squeeze pages. This means that there is a signup or purchase at the bottom of the page, and no other links or options. No menu. No sidebar. Nothing to distract from the content on the landing page.
