I tried Ultimate Landing Page plugin but it was too hard for me to find landing page plugin. Thanks for the other resources.
Hi Megan 🙂
Thanks for the cool post, finding a solid landing page builder is not the easiest task. I purchased OptimizePress and had some issue with it with my existing theme. So I’m on the prowl again to find something good. I’m trying to avoid leadpages because of the monthly fee. Have you used BeaverBuilder personally? Looks like a decent solution. I’ll go take a look. Thank you again, you just saved me some time 🙂
Hey Mozie,
I personally recommend you to check out Thrive Content builder. In my opinion it’s easier to use, cheaper and much better value with exceptional support. Hope this helps.
