    Source code for Uisual templates. Free HTML/CSS landing page templates for startups. New template every week.

  • I will list all my pain points with landing page builders, but not all those points might be applied to your service. 1- They are expensive, and their expensive subscription model drives me crazy. It is not a coffee service that you get your fresh coffee every week. This is a landing page builder, and I won't create a landing page every week! I have just 1-2 ideas to test and capture leads, and that is all. If it is a subscription model, it should be a reasonable price. I am not sure if most of them target the agencies, but many people like me just need a "landing page," nothing more or less. 2- Their templates suck. They are usually the same, repeating templates that do not fit your idea. Yes, you can modify them, but it is minimal. For example, Tilda provides a block for the "hero" section. You can choose between 20-30 hero layout options, but %90 of them are a text&button on a background image. I don't want it. I want a simple layout with a screenshot of my service (desktop or phone) at the right and my headline, sub, and call to action on the left. Just simple. No background image. But I can't do it/ They provide something called "Zero Block" which you can build a block you like from empty but challenging to use. You always need to use the same boring (so-called, proved working!) layouts and templates. Just an example, this is the new version for my landing page I've worked on for a while (https://imgur.com/a/mwqe9ci), and I have created it using a free template on the internet without using Tilda( which I pay hundreds for subscription). Pretty crazy, huh? 3- For example, there is a website which (https://uisual.com/) the creator shares free empty templates for different landing pages. They look very clean and straightforward, and to be honest; they serve better for my needs. 4- Those big players are expensive because they also have integrations and CRM types of functionality. 5- One huge missing point for me is, lacking A/B testing functionality on a landing page. Builders that provide A/B testing are extremely expensive (A/B testing frameworks and tools also expensive alone), But still, there is a missing vertical that addresses a simple landing page with A/B testing. It tests only the copy, colors, or layout without complex testing. 6- I am neither a copywriter nor a designer. Still, I have a couple of comments for your copy. Your headline is not ringing the bell in my mind. All builders claim that they are simple to use. Your sub is not supporting much either. In addition, your CAT can be more specific for your use case. I have created an alternative version of your landing page with a different copy. https://imgur.com/a/B6HWY52 Again, I am not a copywriter so it is just a suggestion. Let me know if you have any other questions that I can help with. Again, it is a great project, and I see that you have invested a lot of time. You just need to iterate on and talk to people from now on. When you find your unique selling point (maybe different types of templates for end-users like me), or a simple landing page with A/B testing or something else) you can pivot and revisit your solution. Good luck and keep us informed!
