Are you looking to build landing pages,
but you just don't want something really complex.
You want it to be simple and you want it to be fun.
Well, there's a deal that's going on right now that does exactly that.
It's called DaftPage and it lets you
build landing pages and a simple slack with it.
It now, one of the key features that that page has is that it lets you
embed your Notion documents inside of that landing page.
So basically you can build pages based on Notion.
Now why is that something good or bad?
Well, the good part about it is that it makes it more dynamic.
That means that if you edit something
in Notion, it's going to automatically will update on your site.
Aside from that, that page lets you draw on your site.
Now it sounds kind of weird, but you're going to see it on this video.
So let's go jump over to this deal and check out DaftPage.
So follow me to my desktop. What's up everyone?
My name is George and this is Daft Master.
Today we're going to check out DaftPage. Like I mentioned before,
it's a website builder which is super easy to use and fun.
Now be aware that with simplicity comes a simple builder.
So it's not super complex.
You're not going to build a wow site like
crazy site, but you can build nice sites that look really good.
It's just going to depend on your imagination.
Now this deal, it's $69 for the lifetime deal and well, it's unlimited sites.
You can build as many as you want.
And like I mentioned before, you can turn any Notion page into a website.
That means that you can create a block embed Notion and actually use it,
which is one of the things that we're going to go into in the beginning.
Now, like I mentioned before, unlimited websites, unlimited blog posts,
unlimited custom Domains Custom domains means that you can use your own domain
that you already have purchased and you can connect it via DNS.
That means you can customize the domain and not use DaftPage as the sub domain.
Okay, automatic https by let's encrypt and remove that page branding.
They do have a free tier and I do recommend that you check it out before
buying the deal just in case you find out that this deal is not for you or for you.
So it lets you play around
with the builder and this is their landing page, which is that page.
They use a lot of unicorn and everything is based on being fun and easy to use.
You can also draw on the page.
Now that's the landing page,
one of the things that they are thriving in is create a site with Notion.
So people who already use Notion, well,
it's pretty cool that you can embed this and make it a website.
Now for people who don't know you, use Notion, don't worry about it.
You can still build sites and use your
custom domain and just use it as a simple site builder.
Okay, so this is the roadmap.
This is what's coming soon.
I will leave that link in the description.
And this is my DaftPage dashboard.
Let me go back here.
This is where I'm going to create my site.
This is one of the ones I've been playing
around with and what I'm going to do is start from scratch.
So let's go ahead and create a new site.
I'm going to name this for example Taskmaster.
And I'm going to go with green for this
and it's going to ask me what typography do I want?
Well, there's a couple of them.
You can change this later if you want.
In this case, I'll go with playful.
And basically it adds this landing page.
Okay, so it's like a beginning, it's a header and there's no more here.
Okay.
Things that they should consider adding is templates.
I think templates do help out a lot.
It's one of my favorite things when I buy
a deal is that they actually have templates because it's faster and easier
for me to replace certain elements instead of doing everything from scratch.
Just a little tip there.
Okay, so basically if I click on any
of these elements, I have the editor pop up over here.
So for example, I have the layout, I have the media.
I can turn it to left, keep it to the right.
I can change this image.
In this case, I have options for Giphy Sally remix icon font.
Awesome. Or I can add my own image from my desktop.
Just upload it. Okay, I want rounded corners.
In this case, it's a PNG.
So obviously there's no rounding to go invert X or Y shadows.
I want to add some shadow there,
but it's considering the square with that the title for this.
So I have all the elements right here for this particular box, slack.
So right here you can see build something. Great.
Here it is the description, the call to action.
Here we go.
That's for the button and the button link for it.
Super simple.
We can add more elements really quickly and easily.
First, let me start off with a block to show you the Notion integration.
Okay, so I'm going to add a block
and these are all the blocks that we have available.
I want to get started with Notion.
Okay, so there we go.
This block has been added and you Canva see that if you've used Notion before,
you know that this comes as a default template.
Now it's a link that they're already using.
But in this case we are going to edit.
There's this edit block pencil here, which I'm going to click on it.
And here's the link that we need from our Notion page.
Okay, so let's go into our Notion account.
This is one of the ones I have and user
research, which is the default one that they are available.
And what you have to do is actually share it.
Okay. And you have to enable Share to web.
This is the link that we're going to use.
Don't use this link over here. Copy link.
Don't use that one. You got to use the Share one because
the Share one is for public and it's going to be viewable over on this link.
It's private.
So that means that you have to be logged in to actually view it.
Okay, so let's go back into our builder.
So we're going to add our page right there.
And there we go.
It just added it. See this block?
It's available there.
I can make it unmove the full page.
I can make it full page.
Disable header, disable icon.
You can see how they are disappearing.
Disable title, just in case you want that.
Now, this is out of phase.
And that's because it's a really long one.
For example, even here, it's out of phase.
So that's something that they have to consider here.
That's all the options that you have right now.
That's something I dislike about that page.
Like, I want to play with the margins.
So here we have a big space on the left and I can't do anything.
I can't move to the left, to the right, top, bottom.
I can't tweak the pixels for the sizing of the margins.
And let me show you a quick preview.
So if I click on this right here,
it's going to show me what my page actually looks like right now.
And here it is.
See that there?
So it's embedded there.
Now that's a simple use case.
If you have a full page on Notion, you're going to view the whole thing.
Now, what I like about it is that Notion.
You can do some automations.
You can do a couple of things over there on Notion and it's going to dynamically
change on your site because it's grabbing that information from Notion.
That's what makes it interesting.
Okay, so that's the block for Notion.
Let me remove it for now.
There's several blocks available.
You have navigation bar, hero press logos,
feature, testimonials, Frequently asked questions.
And they look pretty good. Okay, so Frequently Asked Questions.
Another one that I like is pricing.
Check out the pricing looks really nice.
We can edit these if I click on it.
Let me go on the options there.
Okay, so the background for it, the text, the pricing override the style.
We can change the style for this. There's one of them.
I can add another pricing to this, another one and another one.
And I like that.
It's simple and it looks nice. Okay.
It's super easy to build.
Again, let me get rid of it.
Add a block here.
There's testimonials, pricing, call to action, SaaS custom code in case
you want to use some custom code, for example, embedding something else.
Not notion, something that you want to embed.
Their custom code is really good to have.
There the Tweet Grid, Instagram Post blog editor feature,
Grid Showcase, Footer Notion, which we saw already.
And the whiteboard.
Okay, so the whiteboard,
it gives you a big space and that's a really cool feature that they have.
Now, aside from the space, we can also use these options like draw.
This is something that they thrive upon, which is the draw.
And we have the options here.
So I can change the color to let's use red so we can visually look at it.
Let's go ahead and save the palette.
We have the sizing for the brush.
It's not actually a brush because it's raw.
Hope they add some brush just like the one we're seeing here.
So it kind of looks more realistic. But in this case,
I'm going to click on the screen and it's going to actually draw.
So for example, I'll draw around this guy
over there and that's going to be on the page or if I want a sub line there.
Hey, check this out.
So it looks more real.
I mean, if you try to do this with underline.
Well, it's a straight line and simple.
What if I want to do some wiggly there? I can do that there.
Go ahead and save this.
Let's go ahead and view it.
And that's going to be shown on your site.
I mean, what you draw there, it's actually viewable.
Now if you have one of those type
of drawing boards, well, you can do something pretty cool with this.
Now, again, I wish they had like a palette
for this where you have brush types, brush sizes.
It's just going to be pencil, a pen.
So I go a little bit more advanced on that.
We also have the drop, for example, if you want to drop something here, drop it.
There it is. We can drag it anywhere we want.
Let me close this,
drag in this little blob, clicking on it and put it over here.
And easy to do. Right.
The styles if I want to change the styles for this.
So it's style green.
If I want to change it to that's, the font, the green there.
If it's going to be the button sizes, it's going to be squared, rounded.
We have the settings for this.
For example, the name of the homepage custom code in case you want to use
Google Analytics, Bing and other things, the SEO purposes, title tag,
meta description, Open Graph, and those kind of basic settings for SEO.
We have the undo and redo for this.
So what you kind of look right here is that it's super easy to use and build.
If you don't like those kind of complex settings and you get overwhelmed
with that, then this is a great option because it's super simple to use.
If you're looking for something more complex, then I'm guessing this won't be
the deal for you unless they built in more features.
Now let me go ahead and open this site.
I haven't connected my custom domain but this is a live site there.
I can just share this link and it's good to go.
Other things that we have available is the blog for it.
So if I want to create a blog for the one that we just created here it is create
a blog because we want to create blog pages.
Well, I can start writing and there we go.
So we have the title, description and write something.
Now be aware that write something is pretty basic also.
So if I write something here and these are the elements that we have So we can add
an image or the assets that they have available, it's pretty simple a spacer.
There's also some code if you want to add that there and that's it.
All right, so we can add images,
gifs and that kind of thing but it's kind of simple.
We don't have blocks inside of the blog so
it's pretty simple in that sense if I want to publish this so I'll just put whatever
and whatever for description publish and we have a blog published on that site
so super easy to build aside and start writing blogs.
Like I mentioned before, this is super simple and easy to use and fun.
You could say it's fun because we can draw
on it and embed our notion pages, which is what makes it really cool.
Now there you go. That's what's actually going
on with that page as of now, my recommendation is that if you're
looking for something simple, Go ahead, grab it.
Easy to use unlimited websites, custom domains, embed notion.
You're good to go if you're looking for something more complex,
more professional, this is definitely not the deal for you.
In my use case, I'm thinking about it in case of grabbing it for something simple.
But I am looking for more complex page
builders so I would be the type of people, for example, would skip on this deal.
But there you go.
That is my honest opinion on that page.
If you guys want to grab it, that link will be provided
in the description which helps me out with a small Commission and it won't cost
you a single cent more than what it already says.
There, but well, there you go.
I thank you all for watching.
My name is George and this is SaaS Master and I'll see you guys later.
