Hey guys,
Does anyone know a great resource for beginners detailing the steps needed to build a lander from scratch??? I've been reading through Caurmen's guide to building a mobile lander but I need to figure out some other basic things, such as how to upload things to my server, names of files, etc.
I searched through the forum but came up short. Basically, something aimed at a 100% newb.
Thanks!
Best bet is really just Googling since this isn't very specific to IM.
Once you've made a lander you should have a set of files - html/php, css, js, images, etc.
To get this online you need a server to upload it to.
Use FileZilla (FTP client) to connect to your server. How you get your FTP info depends on the server... if it has cPanel then you can log in and go to the FTP section.
Plug the host/login details into FileZilla and connect.
From here everything is just like what you do on your own PC so shouldn't be so confusing.
You upload (copy) the files to some folder on the server. To get to those files you now need the URL, which is equivalent to a local path e.g. C:\website\landers\lander1\index.html except it's a URL so is in the form of http://mywebsite.com/landers/lander1/index.html.
Arrange landers into folders as you would on your PC. You wouldn't dump 50 landers on your desktop right? You'd make a folder called landers, then folders called lp1, lp2, lp3, etc. and put lander files in each one. The URL you need to access them would change accordingly.
