You just starting a startup project and you have no ready product/service yet but you already want to pre-promote it or simply to explain your idea on one page
You are starting out and you want to create landing pages where each page has a clear goal in your promotion process, for example one page is to let people exchange their email address for a free trial of your service, or to get there after they clicked on an ad or sign up to a newsletter… They might come in addition to your actual one-page website or they might be the same
We have a whole course about landing page creation, you can see its preview in the free course
As opposed to a full-blown website, a landing page is a single page with a highly specific target: getting visitors to click through to your end goal.
