Create a landing page for a Move Out cleaning service (without being a designer)

Ever tried moving out and cleaning at the same time? Yeah… not fun.

I remember my last move—I was juggling boxes, work emails, and then… surprise! My landlord wanted the place spotless. I was like, "You’ve got to be kidding me!"

Wait, why even bother with a landing page?

Look, you don’t need to be a web wizard. Just need a clean (pun intended) place to point people. Something simple. Something that says: “Hey, I got you.”

What we’re talking about:

  • Landing page basics (with no design degree, promise)
  • Tools that do the heavy lifting
  • Quick content ideas
  • A few tweaks to make it stand out
  • Oh, and my own trial-and-error story

Step 1: Pick a tool that doesn’t make you cry

Wix, Carrd, even Notion—yeah, you heard me. Notion! They all work.

<!-- Basic HTML structure -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head><title>Move Out Cleaning</title></head>
  <body><h1>Need a Hand Moving Out?</h1></body>
</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2: Keep the copy short and messy (but in a good way)

You’re not writing Shakespeare. Say it like you mean it.

Step 3: Show 'em what you got

Photos, testimonials, a quick video if you’re brave.

<img src="before-after.jpg" alt="Before and After Cleaning">
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 4: Drop a call-to-action

Simple. Friendly. No pressure.

<a href="#book-now">Book Your Cleaning</a>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 5: Add trust

Stars. Logos. Anything that screams “not a scam.”

<div class="reviews">
  <p>⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 'Saved my life!' - Alex R.</p>
</div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Pro tip: Use bold words with invisible links like:

Move Out Cleaning Service In Chicago Il believe me, this one’s gold.

Or this gem: Move Out Cleaning Service Chicago Il been there, needed that.

Also handy: Move Out Cleaning Service Chicago yeah, people Google this stuff!

Real talk—Why it matters?

  • Landlords aren’t always patient… or nice.
  • Cleaning after moving = stress x 10.
  • You’ll thank yourself for planning ahead.
  • Makes you look like you have your act together.

Bonus: Styling tip? 

body {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  background: #f9f9f9;
}

Try these layout tricks: 

<section>
  <h2>Why Choose Us?</h2>
  <ul>
    <li>Quick booking</li>
    <li>Reliable staff</li>
    <li>No surprises</li>
  </ul>
</section>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Don't forget mobile users 

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

A little heart goes a long way 

document.querySelector('#book-now').addEventListener('click', () => {
  alert("Thanks for booking!");
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Wrap it up

If I can do this, you can do this. I mean it.

Give it a try this week—you’ll see! No need to hire an expensive agency or chase your designer cousin. Just start.
