Landingi – Getting Your Customers To Land
For many businesses, this is an incredibly worrying time. With borders closing and the leisure industry virtually shutting down, many bricks and mortar brands are turning to the Internet in order to survive.
For those unaccustomed to e-commerce as their primary outlet, it can be difficult to know where to start with a web-only business with so many different things to consider.
When focussing on e-commerce, one of the most important things is to have a killer landing page – it’s great that you’ve snagged those customers from social media but, this is pointless if they lose interest once they land on your website.
Thankfully, there are some great tools available to help even the least technically minded manager to create a professional landing page and, today, we’re going to be talking about one of our favourite landing page tools, Landingi.

It’s a drag
Landingi’s simple to use drag and drop editor gives users complete control over the content of their landing page – perfect for those who want to stand out from the crowd.
Upwardly mobile
With more and more people accessing the Internet on their phones, Landingi’s Rebuild Mobile View feature is possibly one of its most important for today’s business. This feature allows for quick re-arrangement of landing page elements for mobile optimisation.
The image of success
Continuing with the focus on personalisation, Landingi features a huge number of images within its libraries – many of which are included in all packages.
Click and connect

Landingi – The Pros & Cons
So, we’ve told you all about Landingi’s fabulous features but, what you really want to know is whether or not it’s worth your hard earned cash. Let’s delve into the pros and cons of this Gliwice based platform:
The Pros
Great at any price – Landingi’s pricing is incredibly competitive in a busy marketplace, making it affordable for most budgets. In particular, the Core package offers fantastic value for SME’s just dipping their toe in the waters of landing page creation.
Super-simple – We’ve said it before – and we’ll say it again – Landingi really is incredibly simple to use, even for those with zero techpertise. Navigation is straightforward and, users are literally guided around the site and directed to the pages that they need.
Fabulous features – Landingi offers great value for money in terms of features, with even the Core package featuring enough goodies to create really professional looking landing pages.
SEO-per tools – Many of Landingi’s templates are industry and goal specific which means that you get a helping hand with your site’s search engine optimisation.
The learning curve – As well as being user friendly in general, Landingi offers a knowledge base and tutorials for those who need an extra helping hand in finding their way around the site.
The Cons
Can’t be helped – Although the more expensive Landingi packages feature Premium Support, those at the lower end may feel slightly abandoned as. Landingi states that its support (in Polish and English) is open from 8am to 8pm but, from the moment it opens, waiting times are excessive and, the support available is sporadic at best.
Speed is not of the essence – One of the most frustrating bits about Landingi is the slow speed of publishing. Although this isn’t always the case, it is pot luck and can be really frustrating when you’ve created your page and want to share it with the world.
Branding – Unbranded features, including emails, are only currently available with the two agency packages which can be a mild frustration for those looking for a super-professional look to their whole digital presence.
Decision Time
So, we’ve given you the lowdown on Landingi – what it is, what it does and how much it costs – but is it right for you?
The answer to that is ‘almost certainly’. In our Cons section, we’ve mentioned a few places in which Landingi is less than 100% but, to be honest, these are minor annoyances rather than deal breakers.
For the most part, this tool is pretty darn perfect really. It’s affordable, with a good choice of packages. It has plenty of great features – even in the cheap seats.
It’s easy to use and allows you to create really slick pages with very little effort. In our opinion, Landingi is a great choice for companies of all sizes. Interested to read another review? Go ahead and read Landingi Review – A Blow For Expensive Marketing Pages by Milosz Krasinski.
