Build and launched landing page in less than 1 hr
by Sam LevyHow to build a landing page:
- Write an interesting milestone on Indie Hackers
- Watch it gain traction
- Panic when you realise you don't have a landing page
- Build your landing page at the speed of light, fumbling over VIM shortcuts in your panic
Lessons learned
Build a landing page before you post anything about your project. And make sure it has a "get notified" email form. And make sure it has analytics!
Luckily, I'd been working on a logo and colour scheme the night before in Sketch so had something to work with.
- Built using plain old HTML & CSS
- Hosted on Netlify
- Email Octopus for email signup form
- Simple Analytics for tracking

Looks great, Sam! I admire the speed at which some people can build good-looking sites like this.
My landing page is also fairly simple but it took me many hours with day-long breaks in-between to get it to a state I'm happy with.
Good luck with your project!

Thanks Macks!
I had a lot of practice building them but never launching them over the last 12 years 😅 Too many side-projects that never saw the light of day.

+1 for the lessons learned :)
I've myself spent nearly 10 days working on the landing page for Dev Concepts (https://dev-concepts.dev). I'm not as effective :D
