A landing page is a destination page that users arrive at after clicking on a banner, teaser, link in a social media post, or other advertising announcements. The likelihood of achieving the desired action, such as making a purchase, placing an order, downloading software, etc., directly depends on the quality and effectiveness of the landing page.
Creating a high-quality landing page can be quite challenging. If you lack the necessary expertise and resources, you may consider copying someone else's landing page or using pre-made templates. Let's explore how and with what tools you can achieve this.
Where can I find a ready-made landing page?
If you are involved in affiliate programs, ready-made landing pages can be found in almost any offer. However, it is essential to evaluate the landing page independently and request statistics on its effectiveness from your personal manager.
What to consider when evaluating a landing page:
- Focus on sales speed: The landing page should facilitate a simple and quick purchase process. The easier and faster it is to buy the product, the better.
- Single product offering: The landing page should not include more than one product or service. Its purpose is to sell a specific item or service.
- User-friendly structure and attractive design: The information presented on the landing page should be clear and easy to understand. It should convey why the product is suitable for the visitor and its benefits.
- Loading speed: The landing page should not be overloaded with scripts, heavy images, or animations. Faster loading times on your hosting are preferable. Therefore, pay attention to the loading speed when downloading the landing page. If it is slow, it will also be slow for the end user. Avoid using such landing pages.
Methods of copying a landing page
You can copy any landing page using several methods:
Page Source Code: Simply open the landing page you like in your browser, right-click anywhere on the page, and select "View Page Source" (for FireFox). The name of the button may vary depending on the browser you are using. However, the essence remains the same - you will see the HTML code that you need to copy and paste into your CMS to create a new page. But there is a downside to this method: you will have to manually clean the landing page from installed scripts, counters, and other add-ons. To configure the correct functionality, you'll need to understand the code.

Button "Save As." When you open a landing page in your browser, you can save it to your PC as an archive. To do this, right-click anywhere on the page, select "Save As," and choose "Web Page, Complete" as the file format. In this case, copying the landing page will be complete, including all its settings. Afterward, you'll need to clean it from scripts, change links, etc.
Script. For example, DollySites can be used for this purpose. What's the idea? You install the script on your hosting and specify the website you want to download. When a visitor comes to your site, they will see an exact copy of your competitor's landing page. If the original landing page changes, you will automatically receive the updated version. However, this is a very complex method. The reason is that if you simply copy someone else's landing page, all the leads generated will go to its owner. To avoid this, you need to manually modify the script and work with its code.

Software tools. The most convenient and straightforward method. You can install a plugin in your browser or a standalone program on your PC. They facilitate complete downloading of the landing page in the form of folders. Afterward, you will need to modify internal links, set up feedback, counters, etc. This can be done manually if you are familiar with coding, or with the help of internal tools provided by the programs. They will assist in cleaning up scripts, reconnecting metrics, changing the contact form with the client, and more.
Software for copying landing pages
Software that can be installed on your PC varies in terms of available functionality. Free or freemium programs allow copying a landing page, but editing will often need to be done manually. Paid solutions enable users to modify links or clean up scripts directly from their interface, saving the edited landing page ready for upload to hosting.
