Want to learn how to create a landing page in WordPress?
Professional landing pages are an excellent way to promote your marketing campaigns, drive traffic to your WordPress website, and turn that traffic into leads and customers. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a custom landing page in WordPress with no coding needed.
A landing page is a standalone web page made to increase leads and sales for your business. Their primary goal is to convince visitors to take action, like subscribing to your email list, entering a giveaway, or buying a product.
You can use landing pages to both drive traffic and increase conversions. For instance, you can create marketing campaigns like:
And send traffic from those campaigns to your landing page. Then, you can convert the traffic from those campaigns into customers to increase your revenue.
Because your landing page goal is to convert website traffic into customers, it needs to be attractive, engaging, and user-friendly. You also need to design and place the different call-to-action (CTA) buttons and elements like the buy button and signup forms, so they’re easy for users to see.
Many small businesses make a crucial mistake when promoting their products and services: they use their homepage as their primary landing page. If your main goal is to drive leads and boost conversion rates, sending targeted traffic to your home page isn’t a good idea.
The reason for this is your homepage isn’t designed to convert. People visit your homepage to learn about your business and browse, so there are many paths to take.
However, a landing page offers visitors a single path: to convert, making it the most effective way to generate leads and sales.
You might think that creating a landing page in WordPress is complicated and involves writing lots of code. But if you use a WordPress landing page plugin, you’ll find it’s relatively easy, even if you’re not a developer or design expert.
There are various landing page builder plugins on the market, such as Elementor, Beaver Builder, and more. However, they don’t all offer the ease of use and features you need. That’s why we put together this list of the best WordPress landing page plugins where you can choose your favorite to build your page.
This tutorial will show you how to create a landing page in WordPress using SeedProd. SeedProd is the best website builder for WordPress.
It comes with WordPress page builder functionality, hundreds of stunning landing page templates, and ready-made blocks and widgets designed to optimize your page content and boost conversions.
You can also use SeedProd to create custom WordPress themes and WooCommerce websites with its drag-and-drop builder with zero coding know-how. It automatically makes the parts of your theme for you, including your header, footer, sidebar, homepage, and more.
Follow the steps below to learn how to create your first landing page in WordPress with SeedProd.
The first step is to visit the SeedProd website and buy the SeedProd plugin. You can then download the plugin to your computer and copy the plugin license key from your SeedProd account area.
Next, log into your WordPress dashboard and install the plugin. If you need help, follow this step-by-step guide to installing a WordPress plugin.
Once the plugin is installed on your WordPress site, don’t forget to activate it.
After activating SeedProd, you’ll see a welcome screen asking you to enter the plugin license key. Enter the license key you copied earlier from your SeedProd account area and click the Verify Key button.
Once your license key is verified, scroll further down the page and click the Create Your First Page button.
After clicking, you’ll head to the SeedProd dashboard, where you can start creating your new landing page without writing CSS, PHP, or installing a child theme for WordPress.
On the SeedProd dashboard, you’ll see 5 different options for creating your landing page design. Along the top are options for coming soon mode, maintenance mode, a 404 page, and a login page.
Below that section is the option to create a landing page. Click the + Add New Landing Page button to make your first page.
You’ll then have the option to choose a landing page template. SeedProd offers a wide range of beautiful landing page themes, including:
Alternatively, you can choose the blank template to start from scratch.

SeedProd’s landing page builder is a truly visual experience.
There are landing page blocks and sections you can add to your design on the left-hand sidebar. And on the right side, you can see how your landing page looks with the live preview.
Customizing your landing page is super easy. You can point and click any element to tweak the settings and styles and see the changes in real-time.
If you want to change the fonts, colors, background images, and background colors across the entire page, click on the Global Settings button in the bottom left corner. You can even choose from various premade color combinations and font pairings for a unified look and feel.
If you find that you don’t need some of the landing page blocks included in your template, you can delete them by hovering your mouse over the block and clicking the trashcan icon. You can also duplicate a block in the same area, move it, change the block settings, or save it to use again.
