I made a landing page and it cost me 1.40$

I liked Alexander Isora's saying that indie makers are the worst audience for your SaaS because they are makers!

Although I would have used Unicorn or Crrd to build a landing page if they accepted my local payment card, since it is not accepted on their platforms, I had to take the longer and cheaper route, given that I understand little about programming principles. This is the method I followed:

I subscribed to a domain that costs $1.40 for one month, although it imposes higher prices for subsequent months, but this does not matter to me as one month is enough for me to do the experiment.

I found many templates for free landing pages on GitHub that I can fork. In the search box on the site, type "landing page" and browse the results. When you click on one of the results, it takes you to the page with information about the landing page. Scroll down to find somewhere a link to a preview of the landing page. If you like the landing page, fork it and modify its content to suit you. Use artificial intelligence if you want.

To host the landing page, I used "Versel" which provides a good free plan.

In order to collect the emails of the registrants I used the automation tool "SureTriggers" because it provides enough to collect about 500 emails for free, and I connected it to Google Sheets, but then I discovered the tool "NocoDB" which seems to me to be more suitable for this purpose.

In order to contact the registrants I used the tool "Brevo" because it provides a suitable free plan.

In this way I built a landing page that works for the purpose and at a very low cost, I hope that indie hackers share their methods for building landing pages!
