Getting started with the Landing Page Editor

INDEX

In this tutorial, we'll look at the most common steps for creating a simple landing page with a registration form.

Something you should consider first is that the form should be created previously in the Subscribers >> Signup forms menu, as it will be these already created forms that will be inserted into the landing pages. Review how to create a form.

This editor is the same as the one in Create a newsletter with the visual editor you can review it here.

Step 1: Setting up the landing page

To do this, click on the Landing page option in the main menu and then click on the +Add button.

After that, the system will display a window in which you can select one of the templates that will be the basis of your landing page. Among them is an empty template called basic template.

Selecting a landing page template from the available choices

Select one of them by clicking on Select template and a pop-up window will be displayed in which you have to choose a name to identify the landing page. (Choose a name for your new landing page:) and click Save. With that, you've created the basis of your landing page, now just make the relevant changes.
