Learn how to start creating and using a Landing page for your business. = This section provides essential information to start working with layout, z= ones and blocks within the Landing Page.

Landing page

A Landing Page is a page designed to be the visitor's entry point into y= our website.

Understand the essential concepts of eZ Landing Page

A Landing Page has a customizable layout with multiple = zones where you can place predefined blocks w= ith content on Dynamic page. It can be, for example, an = article, a photo gallery or a blog post. 

Technically, these are special types of Content items (aka objects). Eac= h single Content item is an instance of a Content Type<= /a> (a "template"/"blueprint"). This template or blueprint for C= ontent defines Fields and their Field Types. Then they are assigned Field Values when a Content it= em is created based on this Content Type. Content Type is conceptually simi= lar to a class in object-oriented programming.

In addition to having blocks represent content items, they can also repr= esent any type of content. You can add any number of parameters as input to= a block and use this to e.g. display a Youtube video, an RSS feed, externa= l banner advertisement or a Javascript game if you like. You can build a se= t of re-usable widgets that the editorial team can freely place on Landing = Pages, giving the flexibility and power to quickly build engaging Landing P= ages without involvement of IT, once the blocks are created.
