Landing page creation

[christian_01 (Christian)]

Is it possible to create a landing page (of sorts) in Discourse? Much like software resellers use.

A basic version of something like this: Pricing for Everyone – Sendinblue

Unfortunately, no. You’d need a plugin or something.

Yeah, just wondered if anyone had experience creating or using one on their site?

I’m looking for a more exciting way to promote subscriptions on my forum.

There are two plugins that can display static pages, maybe you can take a look:

ProCourse Static Pages

I’ve been doing freelance Discourse customization as my primary gig for almost a year at this point. And one of the most common questions I get is about static pages. “Can I just create a static sales page?” “Where’s a good place to put a FAQ without a discussion around it?” You can likely argue the validity of these questions in most scenarios. The main response being “just close the topic.” But that doesn’t cut it for most. Thus, I decided to create this plugin to make it possible. It’s pret…

DiscPage: a plugin to create static pages and insert discussion balloons in the text

With DiscPage, you create static pages by adding the “Page” category to any topic. You can then insert balloon icons, to allow users to discuss subsections of the page. [image] See the demo and the repo.

As for the differences between these two plugins,

The plugin you mention looks great. I haven’t tried it, but I’d say the differences are: Page authoring is different: ProCourse provides a feature-rich backend, DiscPage only transforms a topic (so you’re limited by the usual markdown editing). ProCourse doesn’t support discussion balloons within pages.

A promising start. Thank you @Canapin
