I am sharing how I am doing my landing pages, so it is easy to hand over to a remote developer.
I learnt this after failing for 2-3 attempts for 2-3 months working with remote designers and remote developers and now I feel comfortable to flush out my thoughts/content with the below process.
Look at the landing page for my new project
www.servicefolder.com/listing-apps/hvac-ecommerce.html
- Buy mockup tool like axure rp. This has low learning curve and good for low to medium fidelity wireframes. Don't go for high fidelity tools like figma/xd (high learning curve)
- Buy a html template. Before buying understand your developer css skills like bootstrap or tailwind. Buy a suitable template. In my case, I chose a template
https://tailpro.tailwindtemplate.net/index.html
- Now make suitable components in axure rp as per the above template. In my case I made all the components as per https://tailpro.tailwindtemplate.net/snippets/index.html.
- Make a landing page with the components in axurerp. Fit your content as per the components
- Hand over the axurerp design to html/css developer
Tell the person to strictly use the code from the template and follow the template styles only.
- Done. - You can easily create many landing pages as quickly as possible.
Cons: Your creativity will be limited to the template you have chosen.
Let me know your thoughts .
I think it's a fine process. You get very customised landing pages by doing this.
My approach depends on whether it's a landing page that needs to validate an idea or a landing page for my product.
If it's for my product, then I get a designer on it and follow more or less the process you've described, just staying within the theme of my product, of course.
If I just need to test an idea fast. Then I spin up a landing page in Webflow or Brizy.cloud buying a template and go from there. Then I'm up and running within a couple of hours.
