MailerLite: Build a lead-capture landing page from scratch

Demo summary

Shows the process of creating a two-column landing page with a lead magnet image, text, and a signup form, including URL and SEO settings.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to Landing Pages and click Create
  2. Name the page and select the subscriber group for signups
  3. Choose to start from scratch to enter the landing page editor
  4. Turn off page navigation and page footer in the Settings tab
  5. Drag a two-column section element onto the page
  6. Add heading, text, signup form, and image elements to the columns
  7. Customize the success page by switching the view at the top of the editor
  8. Set the landing page URL and upload a favicon in the final settings
  9. Add SEO details like page title and keywords if you want the page indexed
  10. Click Publish to go live

Options

  • Browse and use pre-made templates instead of starting from scratch
  • Use a custom domain (requires a paid plan)
  • Add additional form fields like 'Name' via the form gear icon
  • Toggle 'Allow search engines to index this page' in SEO settings

Watch out for

  • Free plan users are restricted to the subscribepage.io domain
  • A page title is required in SEO settings for the page to display correctly in Google search results

Tips

  • Delete all default header and footer sections if you want a completely clean, distraction-free landing page
  • Change the button text to something action-oriented like 'Send it now'
  • Move the 'Name' field above the 'Email' field for a more standard form flow
