How to make landing pages

Hey guys im new to this forum just joined. I would just like to know how do you guys go about making landing pages. Ive never created my own landing page and really dont know much about html and php and stuff.

If someone could please just offer some resources or guides on how to make landing pages that would be great.

Thanks!

Learning from this forum and, for example, youtube (see for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1gK-JEXahk), and using Dreamweaver & Photoshop, I've managed to make some LPs. I'm far from an expert though, but you learn something new everyday. Are there any particular types of LPs that you are planning to make/learn how to make?

Thanks dude that video was crazy, i can get started now. The particular landing pages i was looking to create were just simple one page tyoe landing pages like in that video and i also wanted to know how to make fake blog type sites like the flogs for example the fake blogs for those get ripped abs offers and those fake news type things.

Once you know how to make simple landing pages then all the rest of the stuff is just more of the same. Fake blog type sites are typically 2 columns, with main content on the left and a thin summary, blogger profile and call to action on the right.

Start messing around with the basics first. Then once you are clued up. You can view source of the landers you want to build and reverse engineer them.

I use the same code for all my landers, enjoy!

HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en" id="snipe">
<head>
<title>Snipe's AMAZING Lander</title>

<style>
body{
text-align:center;
background:#FFF;
}

.container{
margin:0 auto;
}

img{
border:0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="container">
<a href="HTTP://CHANGEWITHTRACKINGLINK.COM">
<img src="lander.jpg" alt="Loading.."/>
</a>
</div>

</body>
</html>
Copy that into Notepad and save the file as index.html, then fire up lander.jpg in Photoshop and get creative!

Make sure lander.jpg is in the same folder/directory as index.html


P.S lander.jpg example: http://i.minus.com/iXflb9l2GGxba.jpg
P.P.S This is obviously the bare minimum, but works well for firing up a lot of landers in a short space of time.

I made some free ones here for you to download: http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...s-for-you-guys!
Stacks posted a pack of landers too. Just use the forum search and you will find them.

I've got some flogs and farticles sitting around somewhere... But yeah, it's best to learn photoshop/dreamweaver so you can start customizing landers to your liking.

FYI - When trying to load their main site www.unbounce.com, a trojan tried to install on my site via some wordpress extension. 12.08.2012

Look up some random tutorials on youtube. I did one on how to make a nice looking form that validates itself. Along the way I learned all about CSS, redirects, javascript, php and html.

A lot of hair was pulled out in the process but it was totally worth it

that happens to dozens of sites if you're not using, google DNS, unbounce is solid, used by many fortune 500 companies.
and SEO companies. check them out on inc or tech crunch.
you probably had some ppv installer before that trigger the "trojan"

I'll agree with others and say that WYSIWYG web builders are awesome and are a great way to learn coding without actually having to type it out yourself. For graphic editing I also prefer Photoshop Elements over the full version of Photoshop because it's less clunky and more than enough to complete most IM tasks. Also it's very user friendly. Also Dreamweaver is great, but the interface is a little more involving for a newbie. With that being said, I can't live without it! When you start out nothing is going to make sense anyways so my advice would be to start out with Dreamweaver and Photoshop and chug through the frustration. Later on in your IM career you'll be thankful that you learned to use these programs and that you can design your own landing pages.

Another great way to make landing pages is to use preexisting landing pages. Depending on your traffic source you can subscribe to a spy tool which will allow you to find and rip landing pages. So you could use "What Runs Where" or "Adbeat" for display/media buy campaigns, and "Box of Ads" for PPV. If you're a noob you can actually learn quite a bit by ripping a landing page and popping it into Dreamweaver. From there you can see how everything is coded and how you can tweak elements to your own liking. Note that THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION TO COPY CAMPAIGNS, but rather an opportunity to learn from other peoples creativity and create your own unique campaigns by adding your own twist to landing page "templates." If you invest a few months of $$$ into a subscription with one of the spy services you can come up with 100's of ready to go templates that you can use for quick testing. Often times I use ripped landing pages for campaigns in totally different niches. So think about it in terms of getting ready to go "templates" that you can fill in with your own unique campaign ideas. This will save you TONS of time and you'll come up with 100x more ideas than you would on your own......
