Leadpages Review 2024: Is it Really Worth the Price?

Leadpages Features

Leadpages templates

Leadpages has over 150 free templates you can select from to help you get started building excellent landing pages and websites without having to start from scratch.

The templates are not only attractive, but have also been optimized for the best possible results. They are developed based on data Leadpages receives from the thousands of pages hosted on the platform. To rapidly find the most effective designs, you can filter the templates by conversion rate.

You can also find templates for webinars registrations, selling products, promoting special offers, etc. And if you’re a service provider such as a consultant, there are templates available that can help you generate more leads.

You can build your entire website or landing page in minutes with the available templates. Any changes you want to make can easily be done using the built-in drag and drop page builder.

Page builder

One of Leadpages’ primary features, in addition to the high-quality templates, is the drag-and-drop builder, a tool that enables you to customize your pages with ease.

To use it, simply click on any page element, and the customization options will pop up. You can use the editor to change the text, font color, borders, etc. It is very easy to use.

The inline text editing makes it a lot easier to customize the templates.

Whether you just want to change the content and colors on a template, or completely revamp it, the Leadpages editor makes it very easy. When you click on an element or a widget, it shows its own set of controls.

You can also add extra widgets by simply dragging and dropping them onto your page, and then using the editor to customize them.

Although Leadpages doesn’t offer as many widgets as some of the top WordPress page builder plugins, it should suffice for most tasks. It is a landing page builder rather than a general-purpose page builder, so it’s understandable that the widget options are limited.

The widgets are geared toward creating landing pages and conversion-oriented content. The built-in optimization feature will give you live feedback on how optimized your pages are as you’re building them.

Leadpages also comes with a WYSIWYG editor that allows you to see exactly how your page will appear once it is published. You can, however, preview your work outside of the page builder interface at any moment to see how it looks. One advantage of doing so is that you can test how your page will look on smaller screen devices.

The preview mode allows you to switch between smartphone, tablet, and desktop viewports.

One downside of Leadpages is that you can’t customize your pages for different devices. Any changes you make are universal. You can’t show or hide specific elements of the page from one device to another.

You can also use the preview mode to test the click events for your page’s buttons, such as displaying a pop-up or going to a specific section of the page.

Publishing a landing page

There are various ways to publish a new landing page on Leadpages. Let’s quickly go over them:

Publishing on a Leadpages subdomain

If you don’t have a domain name, you can build your site on a Leadpages subdomain, e.g. www.yourname.lpages.co. The site will be accessible through the name you create.

This is useful if you’re just getting started and haven’t yet registered a domain or created a website for your project. Hosting your landing pages on the Leadpages subdomain gives you the ability to test your company concept without spending a dime, especially if you take advantage of the Leadpages 14-day free trial.

Publishing on your own domains

If you don’t want to use the Leadpages subdomain, you can always connect your own domain. All the Leadpages plans come with a free custom domain, however if you used a different registrar to get your domain, you can still connect it to your account. Having a custom domain makes your business look more professional.

Connecting a domain to Leadpages from a different registrar is a straightforward process. After entering the domain name, Leadpages will automatically determine where it was registered and display the appropriate registrar instructions.

If you already have a website or other material on that domain, be aware that linking it to Leadpages may overwrite the content.

Publishing landing pages on an existing website

If you already have a website built on your domain, you can still add your Leadpages content to it. All you have to do is copy a Leadpages code snippet onto the website. If you have a developer then you can obtain the code snippet from Leadpages and then forward it to them.

You can also obtain a static HTML copy of your landing page and then post it directly on the website. Using a static HTML file can prohibit Leadpages’ analytics, split testing, and other features from working well, therefore it may not be the best way to publish pages on an existing site.

Publishing landing pages on a WordPress website

The Leadpages WordPress plugin allows you to publish web pages and all other types of content generated from Leadpages, such as pop-ups and alert bars, directly on your WordPress site.

If you’re familiar with WordPress then you probably already know how plugins work. Once you install it, you can then choose which pages you want to display on your site.

You can choose whether the Leadpages content is displayed as a landing page with its own URL, the website homepage, or the 404 error page. You can also make it a welcome gate, the first page visitors see when they land on your site.
