Landing pages are stand-alone web pages that usually have a single function which is separate from the rest of the web site. You might use them to encourage customers or clients to sign up for your newsletter, distribute coupon codes, or to advertise an app. You can link to them from emails and embed surveys or forms in them. Landing Pages are available to customers who have purchased the Standard license or above.
IMPORTANT: Your CNAMEs and Domain records also need to be set up before creating your Landing Page.
NOTE: Landing Pages are not currently mobile responsive out of the box. You can find a blog post here that offers some guidance on setting up responsive design.

Step 1: Create a Web Content Record
Web Content records are records that provide the capability to create various forms of web pages. You may use these to create a page for an event or contest among many other options. To create a new Web Content record, Go to CRM ClickDimensions > Web Content.
Here, you can see a few System Views. Active Web Contents will show by default, but you can also change the view to display Active Landing Pages records only, if you prefer. You can also create a Personal View if you would like to create your own criteria to show here.
Click New to create a new Web Content record.
This will open a new Web Content Record:
In the new record enter the following fields:
Name: This is a reference name in CRM for the Web Content record.
Type: Choose Landing Page.
Editor Type (Required): There are two types of editors: Free Style and Block Editor. Free Style gives you a designer and the option to edit the HTML as well. The Block Editor allows you to more easily create your page with a wizard style setup but with a little less freedom, while the Free Style Editor is a little more advanced but gives you more room for creativity.
Campaign: You can associate a web content record with a Campaign record in CRM. When you associate a record in CRM, you will be able to see this Web Content record via the Campaign record.
Domain: Select a domain you want to use for the landing page. Make sure that the Domain record also has the Sub Domain Alias field populated - if it is not please see this article to set that up.
Submissions: Submissions will not display once the landing page is saved. This section will show record submissions for other web content record types, but is not relevant for landing pages.
Page Views: Page Views for people accessing the landing page will be listed here.
