What is a Landing Page?
The Landing Page is a content type designed for delivering more targeted content than a Basic Page. A Landing Page allows you to present essential information in a structured, visually appealing manner while guiding users toward specific areas of website, such as a group of pages about a specific department or program.
This content type in Drupal is highly customizable, enabling users to create standalone pages with flexible layouts, rich media, and strong calls to action. For this reason, every website homepage on the platform is a Landing Page.
