This course is all about helping you build your own landing pages and simple websites using AWS. It's super easy and fun, just like chatting with a friend!
Learn to build, host and track landing pages or simple web sites, using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Have an idea and need a landing page or simple web site?
Unsure where to start, or worried about costs and flexibility?
Maybe you're just fed up of wrangling with Wordpress?
Well, thanks to some amazing web services, you can build and host your own professional landing page, for simply the cost of your domain name. What's more these landing pages or simple web sites, are more reliable, more flexible and offer greater insights than some of the paid for options.
My name is Ben, and I've been building and selling software for the last 22 years. I have built a popular Elixir programming course on Udemy with over 1.9k students, you can see my five star reviews.
Why a course on landing pages?
All the current landing page solutions frustrate me.
Wordpress requires a database, which means that I'm going to have to understand it, and maintain it. Also Wordpress and all it's plugins need to be updated otherwise you are vulnerable to attacks. Not to mention the associated costs.
Site builder services like LaunchRock and SquareSpace are inflexible and quickly become costly.
Landing pages are often for testing out ideas, if those ideas fail, you don't want to have spent too much on them. Yet if those ideas take off you want to gradually build on them and trust that they are reliable and professional.
So I decided to build this course. Landing pages and simple web sites (those that don't use a database) should have the following criteria:
Cheap yet professional
Easy to set up and maintain
Flexible to accommodate future changes and scenarios
Reliable and fast downloading on my customers web browsers
Use my custom domain name, and allow me to send and receive emails from my custom domain
Capture email addresses using the email platform I choose
Track my visitors behaviours, so that I can get insights into how to sell more effectively to them
By following best practices, cherry picking the best services and using my developer knowhow, I have built a course that fulfils these criteria.
I promise, it doesn’t matter whether you’re 16 or 60, absolutely ANYONE will love this course.
You can take away the skills to make your ideas real. The only limit? Your imagination.
Don't settle for tiresome Wordpress sites, save your money from site builders, and learn how to build and host your own landing pages and simple web sites.
AND REMEMBER... if you are unhappy with this course, then I'm unhappy - I offer a full money back guarantee within the first 30 days of purchase.

Misleading title, and very outdated course.
Good
The Instructor's pace for teaching the course is good, however some of the steps executed on AWS are different when you try to follow along, this is because AWS has changed it's console and services interface.
Also the latest AWS documentation on "setting up a static website using custom domain" seems to suggest a contrary approach/method (when creating the two buckets. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/website-hosting-custom-domain-walkthrough.html#root-domain-walkthrough-test-website
I couldn't get the other bucket to redirect request
I think he does a good job to explain things to a beginner and I like his approach coming from a thorough analysis of various alternatives, and finally getting to what he considers is the one that solves most of the problems ha faced in the past.
Hoping to see a video regarding using mapping a domain from a different registrar
An Excellent Course
I got exactly what I was looking for from this course: a process to set up landing pages on AWS. The couple of extra tools along the way were bonus for me, but the course itself was great: clear, easy to follow, and quick, and it reinforces Route53 and Google Analytics for me, which is great.
For my next landing pages, I will follow the course exactly. Thanks, Ben!
Good quick look; depends too much on other sites; not enough info on how it works
pretty good course, was able to learn and apply in real time and fairly quickly!

The AWS interface has changed and so I had to use their docs to create my domain and subdomain. They did the setup the opposite way around suggesting that the index.html reside on the naked domain and the full www domain is the redirect so that it removes not ads the www.
I am still very happy with the course because its the roadmap the course provides that is more important to me but I did want to provide the feedback.
