Landing pages built to convert, not just look good

I build landing pages with one job: a clear next step, fast delivery, and code your team can own after handover.

When a homepage is not enough

Your main site explains the company. A landing page sells one moment: the launch, the webinar, the waitlist, the charter season, the partner promo. When that page is vague or slow, you pay twice, in ad spend and in lost trust.

I help teams ship focused pages without dragging the whole marketing stack into a CMS rebuild. Typical pain points look like this:

Broader builds: Web Development · Motion: Animation · Examples: selected websites.

  • Homepage tries to do everything, so the campaign message gets buried
  • Weak hierarchy: visitors scroll but never reach a confident next step
  • Slow launches because design, copy, and build live in separate tools
  • Heavy templates that hurt mobile experience and ad quality scores
  • No clean way to spin up the next variant without breaking the main site

What I deliver

End-to-end landing page work: from structure and implementation to launch-ready meta and forms. Astro is the default when speed and simplicity matter; React or Next.js when the page must plug into an existing app. See also templates for starter kits.

Message & page structure

Hero, proof, objections, and CTA in an order that matches how people actually decide, not a generic template dump.

Design-to-code delivery

Figma or rough wireframes turned into responsive, accessible pages with typography and spacing that hold up on real devices.

Fast static builds

Astro-first (or lean React) pages with strong Core Web Vitals by default, without a bloated theme stack for a single campaign.

Forms, tracking & integrations

Newsletter, waitlist, booking, or CRM hooks wired sensibly, with privacy-conscious analytics where you need them.

SEO & share-ready meta

Titles, descriptions, Open Graph, and structured data so launches look right in search and social previews.

Process

  1. 01 Step 1 of 4

    Brief & goals

    Audience, offer, primary CTA, and what “success” means: signups, bookings, demo requests, or qualified leads.

  2. 02 Step 2 of 4

    Structure & copy

    Section outline and draft messaging before pixels multiply. Fix the story early, not after build.

  3. 03 Step 3 of 4

    Build & review

    Responsive implementation, accessibility pass, and performance checks on the devices your traffic actually uses.

  4. 04 Step 4 of 4

    Launch & iterate

    Ship to your domain or subdomain, hand over a repo you own, and leave room for the next variant without rework.

What you get out of it

I will not invent conversion rates without your analytics, but I will ship a page that is fast, legible, and honest about what you are asking people to do.

Clarity

One clear job

Each page sells one offer with a visible path to action, not a sitemap in disguise.

Speed to ship

Days, not months

When scope stays focused and the stack stays lean, campaigns can go live on a realistic timeline.

Performance

Fast first paint

Static delivery and disciplined assets so paid traffic is not paying for a slow template.

Maintainability

Easy next page

Patterns and components you can reuse for the next launch, partner page, or locale.

Example

Mymlan Catamaran charter marketing site

Independent · 2025

mymlancatamaran.com

A campaign-style marketing site: hero story, proof, gallery, and enquiry paths, built as a fast static site, not a bloated WordPress theme. Also on websites. Read the case study.

Context

A luxury charter offer that needed to feel premium on the first screen: a video, clear routes to contact, and a mobile-first layout for travellers researching on phones.

Approach

Section-led Astro pages, responsive media, accessible typography, and performance-minded video and image loading so the story loads before patience runs out.

Outcome

A single-purpose marketing experience the owner can point campaigns at: fast, on-brand, and straightforward to extend as seasons and offers change.

Questions before a build

What does a landing page engagement include?

A single page, a small set of variants, or a reusable pattern inside a wider site. If the brief is really a full marketing site, I will say so and point it at web development.

How long does it take?

Focused pages ship in days when the offer, copy, and assets are ready. If the date is unrealistic, I will say so before we start.

Which stack do you use?

Astro by default, for fast static delivery. React or Next.js when the page has to live inside an app you already run.

What do you need from me?

The offer, the audience, and the one action the page should earn. Rough copy is enough to start. Brand files and legal lines help, and they can follow the structure.

Ready to ship a landing page?

Tell me the offer, audience, and deadline. I will suggest a realistic scope: a single page, a small set of variants, or a reusable pattern inside a wider Web Development engagement.
