If your site is just a flyer online, this shows a faster, clearer way to ship a premium‑feeling one‑pager in ~90 minutes, using Webflow or Framer.

You’ll get a 5‑block skeleton, copy prompts, a quick domain/SSL step, and a 9‑point speed/SEO pre‑flight.

Want me to build the whole thing in 7 days (copy → design → build → launch)? → https://colbycardell.gumroad.com/l/xjricaw?utm_source=devto&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=landing_sprint&utm_content=body_cta

The 5 blocks (copy first, pixels second)

  1. Hero — one sentence promise (≤8 words), helpful subhead (≤18), primary CTA (“Book now”, “Get quote”), and a lighter secondary CTA.
  2. Proof — 3 receipts: logos, short quotes, or a simple number (“1,200+ happy customers”).
  3. Highlights — 3–4 outcomes, not features. Short headings + one line each.
  4. FAQ — the five objections you actually hear (price, timing, what’s included, cancellation, support).
  5. Footer — phone/email, hours, address/map, social, legal.

Tip: write copy in a doc first. Use the PPPPC flow: Problem → Promise → Proof → Plan → CTA.

Wireframe skeleton

Webflow or Framer (pick one)

  • Webflow: pixel‑level layout control and a simple CMS if you want a blog or news later.
  • Framer: super quick for modern landing pages with tasteful motion.

Either way you get: fast hosting, SSL “lock”, no plugin drama, easy editing.

Hook up a domain + SSL (1 minute)

  1. In Webflow or Framer Publishing/Domain settings, add your domain (e.g., yourbusiness.com).
  2. Copy the 2–4 DNS records they give you into your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.).
  3. Click Publish. Wait a few minutes → you should see the lock icon (SSL).

Pro move: if you’re replacing an old site, lower TTL to 300s a day before and keep a rollback, e.g. old.yourbusiness.com.

9‑point pre‑launch (speed & SEO)

  • Compress hero images (AVIF/WebP).
  • Preload your main font; set font-display: swap.
  • Lazy‑load any below‑the‑fold media.
  • Keep the hero clean to hit LCP < 2.5s.
  • Guard against layout shifts (CLS < 0.1).
  • One H1 only; use semantic headings elsewhere.
  • Title ≤ 60 chars, meta ≤ 155 chars.
  • OG image 1200×630 and Twitter card set.
  • Generate sitemap.xml and robots.txt (both tools can).
