Tilda landing page or custom development?

Tilda works when a landing page tests an idea, has one form and needs no integrations. Custom development fits when load speed, SEO, CRM and payment integrations matter and the company must own the site.

When is a Tilda landing page enough?

Tilda Publishing handles simple jobs well. Ready-made blocks, a visual editor, responsive layouts out of the box. A marketer can change copy and images without a developer.

• you need to test demand for a new offer;
• the page lives for one campaign or event;
• there is one form and leads go to email, Telegram or Google Sheets;
• someone on your team will maintain the page.

Webflow and Framer cover similar needs. Each builder has its own plans and limits, so check the terms of the plan you pick.

When is custom landing page development worth it?

Custom development pays off when the page becomes a long-term part of sales. Typical signs:

• the page must bring organic Google traffic, so SEO and Core Web Vitals matter;
• leads must reach KeyCRM, HubSpot or Pipedrive with source and UTM tags;
• you need online payments via LiqPay, WayForPay or Monobank;
• there is a calculator, a client area, several languages or custom logic;
• the company wants to own the code and move between hosting providers.

For these pages we use WordPress, Next.js or MODX. The choice depends on who will update the page and how often.

Tilda vs custom development: comparison

How long does it take to build a landing page?

At our studio a turnkey landing page takes up to 3 working days after the brief is approved and materials are received. That covers structure, design, coding, responsive layout, the form, GA4 and GTM setup and a mobile check.

If you need CRM or payment integrations, we give the timeline after the brief. We can write the copy ourselves; all we need is a brief and a 30–40 minute call.

What should you check before choosing a platform?

1. Who will change copy and prices, and how often.
2. Where leads should go and which fields they need.
3. Whether you need search traffic or only paid traffic.
4. Whether you can export the site and data if you leave the platform.
5. How the page loads on a phone over mobile data: check it in PageSpeed Insights.

We cover the difference between a landing page and a multi-page site in our article on websites vs landing pages.

How do you move off a builder without losing leads?

Moving from Tilda to your own CMS takes five steps. We keep every page URL and its copy. We rebuild the design and fix whatever hurt conversion. We set up 301 redirects from old URLs to new ones. We reconnect GA4, GTM and ad pixels. We send test leads and only then switch the domain.

Ad campaigns keep running during the move: links in the ads continue to work through the redirects.

FAQ

Can a Tilda landing page rank in Google?

Yes, if the page has copy for the query, a proper title and description, and loads fast. For competitive queries one page is usually not enough; you need a site structure.

Can you move a site from Tilda to our own CMS?

Yes. We move the design and copy, set up 301 redirects from the old URLs and reconnect analytics so you keep your leads and rankings.

What is cheaper in the long run?

Compare two or three years of builder subscription with a one-off build plus hosting. For pages that live long and bring search leads, custom development often comes out ahead.

What do you need from us to launch in 3 days?

A description of the offer, logo and photos, contact details for the form and domain access. If there is no copy, we write it from the brief.

Do you build landing pages with online payments?

Yes, we connect LiqPay, WayForPay or Monobank. For such projects we give the timeline after the brief.
