@dev_bre only at the beginning😂if project gets bigger I always end up running in circles between backend and frontend

[Mantas @mantasjon]

@ikoichi Amazing work! You are such an inspiration, Luca!

[Mantas @mantasjon]

@dev_bre I usually like to define API structure first and then based on that start build the frontend and then implement the actual backend 🤷‍♂️

@enunomaduro well the guy provided some fair points, but Laravel is nowhere near harmful 😂

Lastly, you need to code the website in html/css. After all the copywriting and designing, it should be a breeze to bring your landing page to life. Make sure that your page is fast and responsive!

Landing page is the face of your online project and everyone likes to see a pretty face! However, sculpting an appealing web page takes a lot of time!

Here is how you can build great landing pages faster:

3/3 Using design software gives you faster visual feedback than coding it directly in html/css. By utilizing fast feedback loop you can make complex design decision faster. Of course, this applies unless you are html and css juggling design wizard.
