If you’ve been putting off creating a landing page because it sounds “technical,” good news: you don’t need to be a designer or developer to build one.
With Systeme.io, you can create a clean, high-converting landing page in less than 30 minutes, using drag-and-drop tools and free templates.
In this quick guide, I’ll walk you through the exact steps to build your first landing page (even if you’re starting from scratch).
What’s a Landing Page, and Why Do You Need One?
A landing page is a single-purpose web page that guides visitors to take one specific action, like:
- Submitting their email
- Downloading a freebie
- Signing up for your offer
Unlike your homepage or blog, landing pages remove distractions and focus entirely on one CTA (call to action). And if you’re promoting a digital product, funnel, or free guide, it’s a must-have.
Step 1: Log In to Systeme.io
If you haven’t already, create your free Systeme.io account here (no credit card needed).
Once you’re in:
- Go to Funnels in the main menu
- Click “Create.”
- Name your funnel (e.g., “Free Checklist Funnel”)
- Choose the goal: Build an audience
- Click Create
Systeme.io will generate a basic funnel with two pages:
- A landing (opt-in) page
- A thank-you page
Step 2: Choose a Landing Page Template
Next:
- Click “Edit Page” under your opt-in step
- Systeme.io will show you a library of pre-designed templates
Choose one that matches your offer (clean, mobile-friendly layouts work best).
Once selected, it will open in the drag-and-drop editor.
Step 3: Customize Your Landing Page
This is where the magic happens — no code needed.
You can:
- Click on text blocks to change headlines/subtext
- Upload your product mockup or image
- Embed a video if needed
- Adjust spacing, background color, or fonts
Pro Tip:
Keep your headline clear and benefit-driven. Example:
“Download the Free Checklist to Launch Your First Funnel in 30 Minutes”
Make sure your CTA button stands out (use a bold color).
Step 4: Set Up the Email Form
The default opt-in form includes:
- Name
Click the form element, and in the left sidebar:
- Choose “Add to Campaign” (if you’re sending emails after signup)
- Or set up an automation rule to trigger emails (see below)
If you haven’t created a welcome email series yet, check out our Systeme.io email sequence tutorial (← you’ll link this later).
Step 5: Preview & Publish
Click the “Preview” button to check how it looks on desktop and mobile.
If everything looks good:
- Click “Save.”
- Then go back and click the link icon to copy your live landing page URL
You can now use this page in:
- Instagram bio
- Facebook groups
- Email signature
- Pinterest pins
- Ads
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Too much text – keep it scannable
- Multiple CTAs – focus on ONE goal only
- No mobile check – always preview on mobile before publishing
- No follow-up emails – don’t let new leads sit idle
