A landing page has one job: get a visitor to sign up, buy or get in touch. It's usually a single HTML page with its images, made by hand, by a template, or by an AI assistant, and it needs to be online today. Drop the page or its folder in the box above and it's live at a *.lobsite.app address with HTTPS in a few seconds, with no account to make first.
How it works
- Drop the page: the
.htmlfile, its folder with images and CSS, or a.zip. It's checked in your browser before anything uploads. - Press Publish it. You get the page's address straight away, live for 6 hours.
- Keep it free. Keep it free → moves the page into a free account at the same address, and it stops expiring.
Collecting signups
A waitlist or a lead form works without writing a backend. Point the form at Lobsite:
<form method="post" action="/_lobsite/forms/waitlist">
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="you@example.com" required>
<button>Join the waitlist</button>
</form>
Once the page is in an account, every signup is stored in the dashboard and emailed to you, with spam filtering added for you. Add a hidden _redirect field to send people to a thank-you page of your own after they sign up. The forms guide has the details.
Testing a new version
Trying a new headline? Drop the new version on this page in the same browser and press Update: the address stays the same, so links you've shared and ads you're running keep pointing at the right place. From a terminal, npx lobsite does the same and uploads only the files that changed. Every deploy is kept with its own URL, so you can compare versions side by side and switch the live page back to an earlier one in one step.
Made with an AI assistant
Landing pages are one of the most common things people ask ChatGPT or Claude to write. Paste the HTML into the HTML Viewer to check it on phone and desktop widths and publish it from there, or let the assistant publish it for you: see ChatGPT and Claude. Before sharing the link, the Meta Tag Generator adds the title, description and preview image that show up when the page is shared.
A deploy without an account is live for 6 hours. The claim link keeps it, free.
Point a form at /_lobsite/forms/contact. Spam filtering included.
Every site gets a *.lobsite.app address with HTTPS from the first deploy.
Preview before going live. Roll back in one click, redirects and all.
Free accounts included: add one DNS record and the site moves to your domain. Every site has HTTPS on any plan.
Files are stored by their hash. Redeploying an unchanged site uploads 0 bytes.
Where to put a landing page
| Lobsite | Carrd | Netlify Drop | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start from | Your own HTML, or any template | Their editor and templates | Your own HTML |
| Account before the link | No: live for 6 hours, then keep it free | Yes | No: claim it within the window |
| Signup forms | Built in, once the page is in an account | On paid plans | Yes (Netlify Forms) |
| Update at the same address | Drop again, or one command | Press Publish | Drop again, or deploy with the CLI |
| Custom domain | Yes, free | Paid plans | Yes |
If you don't have the page yet and want to build it in a visual editor, Carrd is made for that. If you have the HTML, Lobsite gets it online fastest and lets it grow into a full site later without moving.
Frequently asked questions
Is landing page hosting free?
Yes. Publishing without an account is free for 6 hours, and keeping the page in a free account is free for good, with 10 GB of bandwidth a month.
How do I send people to a thank-you page after they sign up?
Add <input type="hidden" name="_redirect" value="/thanks"> to the form and put a thanks.html next to the page. After a signup, the visitor lands on /thanks.
Will updating the page change its address?
No. Updating in the same browser, from the dashboard or with npx lobsite keeps the address, so every link and ad keeps working.
Can I run several landing pages?
A free account keeps one site, but a site can hold many pages: spring.html opens at /spring, launch.html at /launch. The paid plan, coming soon, holds five separate sites.
