Coding a Landing Page? Help needed . . .
Has someone here coded a landing page from start to finish? Mind if I ask a couple of questions?
I do Google Ads for a few small clients, but their websites are a mess. I can’t even set-up conversion tracking with one of them.
Anyways, I need landing pages. And I can not afford any subscriptions.
Time to code.
I have some prior experience in programming, mostly competitive C++, but I know HTML&CSS. I want to learn JS next. Should I buy a Udemy course or try with YT tutorials?
And what about the backend? Could someone, like, list the bare minimum of technologies needed to build and deploy a dynamic landing page with a lead form?
Thanks for the time & attention, take care 🙂

Full stack web developer here. I happen to be new to handling PPC directly. If you’re interested in a knowledge exchange let me know 🙂

My go to is a WordPress site on a subdomain.
Free if you know DNS and a good WP page builder. Can build a landing page in ~2 hours.

I would highly suggest using design templates and altering them however you want. Will save you weeks compared to doing it from scratch.

Bootstrap has served me really well. It’s relatively simple to learn and once you have the grid system learned it’s easy to quickly throw things up and control the entire page.
You can just have a form post to any endpoint you want (I use a high-volume lead management system) but if you’re familiar with databases (which I REALLY wish I was) then you could do that yourself too

I fully recommend squarespace or instapage. Great landing page builders with all the tools you need.

just use software like unbounce

Nodejs + Express + Bootstrap + Heroku + Github = $0.
Has a learning curve but nothing like C++….

I’ve built several thousand landing pages over the last few years. The first were coded by hand, and that later evolved into a landing page building tool.
I’d say you need css, html, javascript and possibly a server side language like php if you want to do stuff like server side text replacement for dynamic landing pages or server side spam filtering to avoid killing your conversion rate with captchas. You might also want to do more with the form data than just email it – I deliver leads by SMS and webhooks too.
