Public Landing Pages (Beta)
Landing Pages have now gone public!
With our new public feature for landing pages, you can host your landing page on any public URL or media.
Read the following article, expanding the headings, to discover how to utilise this new feature.
Please Note: All data from Public Pages will be anonymous. For this reason, any features requiring knowledge of contact will not work. For example, tracked links will still go to their end location, but no data will be tracked as the user is anonymous.
Dashboard
You can create a Public Landing Page in the Drag & Drop Editor and our HTML editor!
To navigate to the dashboard select Tools -> Public Landing Pages.
- This is the folder tree. Here you can create new folders and organise your landing pages.
- Here you create a new PLP.
- This folder icon allows you to move any selected pages location.
- Clicking on this icon will open the filter option so you can choose to search by name.
- This icon will allow you to hide the folder tree.
- This is the name of the PLP. Clicking into the name will allow you to edit it.
- The description you provided will appear here.
- The URL pathway will be shown here. This is the pathway that you have designed.
- Total Views of the PLP will show and update here.
- Date and time of creation are logged here.
- The type of PLP is shown here. It can be a GatorCreator PLP or a GatorMail PLP.
- Status of the PLP is indicated here. It can be Published, Unpublished, or In Setup.
- There are three icons here: Preview, View Results, and Settings. Preview provides a preview of the PLP as it would appear Live, View Results allows you to see all the statistics related to your PLP, and Settings is where you can edit the URL pathway, the metadata, and more.
- The bin icon is for deleting a PLP. However, if you delete a PLP it is only deleting it from Gator. It still exists in the ether on the URL created.
- Clicking an alphabet letter will give you all PLP's starting with that letter.
- Total Views shows the combined views of all of your PLP's.
Please Note: All data from these forms will be anonymous, so any feature in Gator such as tracked links, will not show a contact name and email when being filled out.
