Today’s question comes from Heather from Happiness Mama; a regular member on Rise Forums.
Heather asked the following question:
How can you make your own landing pages? I’m looking for a way that is quick, easy, and ideally free or very inexpensive. Do you know if there are any good plugins for this? In a way it seems like a simple page should be simple to create, but I’m not sure if that’s true.
I would like to apologise to Heather for not answering her video earlier. I had hoped to answer it last week, but since the electricity was down on the day I recorded videos last week, I was unable to answer the above question as it required me to do a little research.
You can see my response to Heather in the video below:
Plugins recommended in this video:
- WordPress Landing Pages (Works with WordPress Calls to Action and WordPress Leads)
- Parallax Gravity – Landing Page Builder
- WP Landing Pages
I purposely left out plugins that can only be used by signing up to a third-party service; such as Easy Landing Pages and Landing Pages Builder. In my opinion, these are not true WordPress plugins. They merely connect to a third party service through the admin area.
Likewise, I left out coming soon and maintenance pages such as Ultimate Landing Page and Coming Soon Page.
Hope you enjoyed the video. If so, consider subscribing to my YouTube channel.
Also, please leave a comment below if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Kevin
Nevermind. I tried the Parallax Gravity plugin that you suggested and it is perfect !! Thank you, again !!!
Hello,
Can you please tell me Heather’s theme name, again? I had difficulty with the audio. I am looking for a blank canvas plugin or theme where I can add my GetResponse code.
Thank you so much !!!
Yay! That sounds great. :)
Glad you found it useful Heather.
The built-in page template is a great starting point. All you need to do is add your content to the page and you are set. Very simple to do and very effective :)
Hi, Kevin! Thank you so much for this excellent and very helpful video answer to my question about landing pages. It couldn’t have come at a better time.
I found it very clear and useful. I think I’ll start with the one in my theme. You’re right, I totally didn’t realize that was there. :)
And then I’ll also try the others, starting with WP Landing Pages. I think that using the built-in one first will give me a better idea of what I want to do when I try the plugin. I do want to keep it really simple, so maybe that won’t be too hard to do.
Thanks again!
Hi Sonny.
Sorry about the poor audio. I talk about this problem in my video “Three Difficulties I Face Recording YouTube Videos in South America“. Unfortunately, there is a huge amount of background noise in Bogota and it is always there – dogs barking, . This is partly my fault as I made a last-minute decision to come over here and did not have enough time to buy the proper equipment.
Ideally, I would have recorded using a better camera and/or a lavalier microphone.
I do have a good microphone with me, but I can only use it in conjunction with my webcam. I can also use that for voiceovers.
With regards to my accent, well, that is how I speak. Just as an Australian talks with an Australian accent and an American speaks with an American accent, I speak with a Scottish accent.
Don’t worry. I am not offended by your statement. I have been over to the USA several times and many Americans had problems with my accent. I believe this is due to not being exposed to the accent. And when you are exposed to it in television and films etc, the accent is inevitably toned down considerably for North American audiences. To the point where it hardly resembles a Scottish accent anymore.
My brothers wife is from Michigan and she has spoke about she can understand Scottish accents perfectly because she is married to my brother, but that many of her friends find it difficult.
That being said, there is not much I can do about it. That is the way I speak naturally :)
Keven, thanks for posting this as I’m sure it will help me in the future. Unfortunately the audio in your video was less than good. I had to turn my speakers wide open to hear you but had a tough time understanding you because of the echo and your accent.
