Welcome Landing Page Builder

[Anastasia_Ning_Support]

Hello everyone!

Recently we have promised you to make a big announcement related to the new feature release. While it is still in beta, we can not keep silence anymore. The feature we wish to unveil is the result of collaborative work of the whole team. And needless to say that it’s one of the hugest updates we have announced here on creators. It was really hard to keep calm and not to mention anything regarding this new functionality during the communication with you for the last 6 months in order to make this surprise possible.

Long story short, let us introduce you Landing Page Builder (LPB). This is a new drag and drop page builder which gives you the possibility to create a page for your network in the fast and easy way. Builder itself is allowing you to change the web page without looking at some abstract modules and columns, it’s closer to the work of the sculptor, who is able to touch the stone he is working with. The only one difference, the sculptor doesn’t have a user-friendly interface. And of course, how could we leave pro users aside - with the LPB you get the full control over the HTML code, CSS and js code of the network. And by saying “full control”l we mean completely full, plus integrated code checker will be helping you to police typos in an easy and convenient way.

We can talk about the LPB for ages since it’s the milestone in the history of Ning, but it's better to try it out. Just follow these simple instructions to get started:

1. Go to your network admin panel and select Site & Pages in the sidebar;
2. Click “Add a landing page” in the main navigation menu;
3. Enter the landing page title and tab title in the corresponding text fields;
4. Define the URL for your new landing page;
5. Click “Save”.

That’s it - your landing page is now created! For more information and recommendations visit our Help Center: click here

Please keep in mind that it’s still beta of the LPB which is showing the direction we are going to move design studio on. That’s why your feedback is extremely important for us, so don’t hesitate to share any ideas here on creators or with any of our support agents.

Hope you would be excited with it like we are.   

Sincerely yours,

The Ning Team.

Hi there,

Hello!
If you are wondering how to redirect members from your landing page to your network - you can put a menu with a link to your actual network, or, for example, a button "Go to the site" with a link as well. 

If you are asking whether it is possible to use the functionality of your network within the landing page - the answer is no, it exists separately from the network's features. 

Best regards,

Hi there,

 

I can't edit the landing page. When I click on edit it loads my index page www.gplay.com.br
I also can't use the design studio any more. When I click there it also load my index page  www.gplay.com.br


Can you fix that?

Thanks

Hello!

We have just recently resealed a fix for this issue, so could you please clean your cache and cookies (or try in another browser or incognito)  and try opening landing page builder again? It worked for me. 

Looking forward to your reply!

Hi,

     I did clean the cache and cookies. It helped. But What I mean is: When I use the landing page as HOME Page it doens't let me acees the site builder anymore. Some times it don't load the page. Is the case now.

Hi there!

I tried to reproduce the issue on my end and was not able to do so. Could you please specify, after you cleaned your cache and cookies, are you not able to edit the landing page at all when it is let up as a home page? Or does the issue occur randomly? 

Looking forward to your reply!

Best regards,

Hello,

This is a wonderful interface but it doesn't feel integrated with the theme picker of the social network. I also would hope that I could add the parts of the social modules to these pages. I like where this is headed but it feels a bit disconnected.
