Creating landing pages

A landing page is a place where users are redirected after clicking a link (e.g. link in an email, advertisement on Facebook, etc.). It can be an independent website which will contain useful information, a microsite that will be a part of a larger website, or it may serve as a tool in promotional campaigns, for example, in which you want to promote one of your products or services you offer. These various methods allow you to draw the attention of customers.

No matter which option you choose, Synerise makes it possible to create simple and functional landing pages that will meet your business goals. To create a landing page, you can use one of two wizards: a WYSIWYG wizard or a code editor.
