Why Landing Page Templates Are Better Than Building from Scratch
Templates aren't lazy. They're a strategic shortcut for indie makers who need speed.
There's a stigma that using a template means you're cutting corners. I disagree. For indie makers, time is the scarcest resource. Spending 40 hours designing a landing page from scratch is a luxury most of us can't afford—and it's usually not the best use of your energy.
A good template gives you a proven structure: where the hero goes, how many features to list, how to lay out testimonials. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You just have to fill it with your unique story. The result is a page that's both professional and personal.
Plus, templates are cheaper than hiring a designer and faster than learning to code. If you're testing an idea, a template lets you ship a high-quality page in a day. If the idea flops, you've lost almost nothing. If it takes off, you can invest in custom design later.
