How To Send In A Build New Landing Page Task

If you're looking to have a new landing page built, this guide is for you!

A word about Design.

Good programmers aren't good designers, and good designers can't program for the life of them. (there are of course rare exceptions in the world but it's definitely not the rule)

When it comes to your Automation Agency Heroes, Web Heroes = Programmers, and Design Heroes = Graphic Designers

Keep this in mind when you are wanting to create a new landing page. If you are needing a landing page to be visually designed by us, you'll need to split your tasks into at least 2 tasks.

A Design Task to mockup the design of the landing page.

then...

A Web Task to build the landing page based off the approved design.

The Web Team can however duplicate and edit an existing landing page you have already got or leverage prebuilt templates so you won't always need a Design Task first if you have a reference that a programmer can use.

What You'll Need To Prepare

• Copy (aka words) for the page - Formatted with Paragraphs & Headings & Places to put Call To Actions
   (if you want to hire a copywriter we can refer you to a recommended one)
  
  
• Structure/Layout/Design Reference / Instructions
  (Wireframe Sketches, Existing Templates or Reference Pages are great here)
  
  
• Photos/Images required to be used 
  (If you have specific images you want us to use, please supply them, we do limited assistance on finding stock images or creating icons)

What To Provide Us When Sending The Task

Depending on your needs to achieve a new landing page it may be more than just 1 task.

If everything is brand new, you're probably looking at at least 3 tasks

1. Mocking Up The Design
2. Building The Page
3. Setting Up New Automations

However this won't always be the case and sometimes maybe it's just 2. Building The Page and 3. Setting Up The New Automation, or maybe even just 2. Building The Page since the Automation has already been set up previously.

Below are guides on the types of information we'll need for each of the 3 tasks that can occur when setting up a new landing page.
