simple-landing-page-general

A very simple landing page for before you have time to put up a fancier landing page. You can see it at https://verachell.github.io/simple-landing-page-general/ . Installation instructions given on README page.

General purpose theme

This has a general-purpose theme suitable for virtually any type of site. Although very simple, it's clean and responsive. This has a public domain license (the Unlicense).

Why would you need such a simple landing page? It's not at all fancy!

Because you want one that you can put up, completed, in 5 minutes.

In between getting the domain name and putting up a fancier landing page (or a full site), you want your domain name to resolve to something that search engines will recognize.

All too often, when you first get a domain name it'll be either a) parked or b) if you have pointed it to your host, you may get either a 403 forbidden (if you have no files in it yet), something saying "index of: cgi-bin", or your host's default landing page. None of these are helpful to you or your brand, or your site's topic for that matter.

Even if you plan to put up a fancier landing page soon, you'll want something right away that look OK to search engines. This simple landing page only needs you to change two things (at minimum): your name / company's name, and the contact email. That's it. No embarrassing mistakes of leaving default data in.

Installation

At your web host

Simply place these files in your document root. Usually this folder will be called public_html, but wherever the files for that domain would go.

Navigate a browser window to your domain name, and the simple landing page will display.

Locally

Put these files in a directory on your computer. Then, using your browser, navigate to file:///path/to/file/index.html to view the simple landing page.

Enter owner name and email

If you plan to use this, you'll want to edit (at very least) 2 places in index.html - the placeholder text indicating the owner name, and the placeholder text indicating the owner email.

Credits

CSS

The CSS stylesheet was by W3CSS: https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/ and was chosen for its modern style, versatility and its ability to handle all the responsive breakpoints.
