A good landing page is the cornerstone of online marketing campaigns, and since it is usually the first area users learn about new products and services.
It has to be well executed. However, leaving a good first impression is not easy. Everything has to look and feel right.
In this brief guide, Toptal Freelance Software Engineer László Monda explains what it takes to design and implement a good landing page, and how and his team put together a fresh and attractive landing page for their Ultimate Hacking Keyboard project.

Use nginx instead of Apache because Apache is a memory hog and everyone was getting daily disk IO threshold notifications from Linode because Apache was trashing. Noone never yet had another such notification since using nginx + PHP-FPM.
