I wrote about the WHY of landing pages recently and now want to provide you with a compiled list of resources. There are a LOT of options for creating landing pages. Depending on your hosting platform, you may be able to simply install a plugin and be on your merry landing page way. Other options are using a third-party solution or even the new landing page solutions some email clients (like Active Campaign and Constant Contact) are now making available. Below is a list of some of the best landing page builders so you can decide for yourself which is right for you, your marketing needs, and your budget.
