Unicorn Platform 🦄 - Modern landing page generator for startups

The quality gap between a custom and generated landing page is too huge.

I want to make a high-end design affordable for bootstrapped startups, makers and indie hackers.

Unicorn Platform is equipped with dozens of pretty components, built-in MailChimp integration and a huge variety of predesigned templates.

⚠️ Important ⚠️ Please check the v2.0 of Unicorn Platform to read the latest reviews and description. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/unicorn-platform-v2-0 Thanks! Hi fellows. For the last few months, I've been building something cool. Unicorn Platform is a static landing page generator for startups. Let's see what is special about it. About A landing page is not just a bunch of text 'n' pics to throw to your customers. And it is more than a marketing tool. Your landing page is the face of your startup. Your audience subconsciously perceives the team, the product, the investor's board, the founders by looking at your LP. That is why one should not just throw some blocks from a free HTML template and get just fine LP. A website is an important thing, not just a checkbox in your todo list. If your website offers more: it's friendly, entertaining, engaging, intriguing - you get much more loyal and interested clients. Your business grows faster 🙂 Making a creative LP is a hard task. Unicorn Platform is aimed to help you create a humanized website. Product Currently, Unicorn Platform is a static landing page generator. It produces HTML templates. After exporting your should edit content in a text editor such as SublimeText. This is just the very first iteration (see changelog). Unicorn Platform will grow into a mature horsie and will get it's own online editor, hosting and many more innovative features. Here are some websites made with Unicorn Platform: - Klipped.in - minimalistic text sharing tool by Ferruccio is the first real user of Unicorn Platform. - Notion - notes, tasks, wikis, tables - all in one place. Since I love Notion a lot I've decided to create an example of what Notion LP would look like if their landing has been made with Unicorn Platform. (Lillie from Notion gladly allowed me to do that). Pricing Pro subscription costs $120 per year. It will unlock all Pro components and templates. All users (Pro & Free) get all updates and tech support. Update: the Lifetime Deal Subscriptions are sold out. Thanks everybody for the contribution and support. Here is the report. Bonus to Product Hunters 🎁 All users who become Pro today (until 28th of September 11:59 p.m. PST.) will get +2 bonus months of Pro subscription. Follow le Updates - Slack channel - get support & inspiration here. - Twitter - when bored in WC 😂 - Facebook - I must have a FB page I guess, mb delete it in future. - Instagram - photos of real unicorns. Thanks for your attention! P.S.: big thanks to @chrismessina for hunting and supporting the project 😗

I've used this few weeks ago & was absolutely in awe of it. The design is really clean & the templates are so amazing. Its the most modern landing page generator I've ever seen & that too made by a solo person in very less time.

Pros:

The best template builder I've ever seen

Cons:

None

Philip Källberg
@alexanderisora this looks really nice, great job! from your website i wasn't sure if it's possible to export the html/css, but based on the comments here it seems to be possible?
Alexander Isora 🦄
@philip_kallberg Hey Philip, thanks for your comment. I think I need to make this aspect more clear. Yeah, you can export HTML code of a landing page.
Ferruccio Balestreri

Used this for the launch of klipped.in and I couldn’t have made a better decision!

Pros:

Amazing templates! Extremely high quality components

Cons:

When exporting the CSS contains also the components you didn’t include

Alexander Isora 🦄
Thanks for the review @frcbls! Assets exporting process should be definitely smarter - I will pay attention in the future updates.
Kaspar Püüding

If you know basic HTML/CSS you already have the knowledge to customize ANYTHING. There is no learning curve for using this product.

Pros:

Great looking components, straightforward flow, easy to host

Cons:

Would love to edit everything in Chrome dev tools. Not sure how.

Alexander Isora 🦄
Sup Kaspar, thanks for the idea. I'm not sure what to say because because I know a little about this Chrome Dev feature. But the potential of this approach may be colossal. Definitely going to research it after the PH campaign.
Daniel Roger Casanova

similar to launchaco

Pros:

design

Cons:

lack of options

Alexander Isora 🦄
Hey Daniel. I plan to add more options: style, export, animations, color, fonts in the future. Launchaco is a great product! I've contacted the Vancouver guys made. They plan to deliver something very great - follow them! We have a different vision. (The following thoughts are subjective!) Launchaco helps you kickstart a website literally in minutes. You get a LP instantly, quickly show it to your friends, buy some FB ads. And - viola! - you got some data and feedback to analyze right this evening. Cool! Unicorn Platform, on the other hand, wants you to spend more time on your landing page. My product best suits the ones who have tested their ideas and want to start growing. Launchaco brings you to the orbit. Unicorn Platform provides you a spaceship for the further galaxy exploration.

i mean they are using a cute unicorn. what's not to love?
Alexander Isora 🦄
@victoriaheric what do you mean by "they" ha-ha? 😅
Curtis Smith

I found a typo...do you have an email I can send it to?

Pros:

Clean Design

Cons:

Limited Variety

Alexander Isora 🦄
Hey Curtis! Yep, you can email at: hi@unicornplatform.com
Nikolay Trukhin

There is a basic common thing in description which everybody knows. But what the difference from some other LP generators?

Pros:

Simple

Cons:

I really don't get what the difference from existing more functional tools

Alexander Isora 🦄
Hi Nikolay. Thanks for your honest opinion. The difference is in 2 main aspects: 1) Design. I pay dramatical attention to design because I believe that well-designed pages generate more interest and love, and therefore increase conversion. 2) Focus on startups. Unicorn Platform, unlike other generators, focuses on a small audience: startups. Startup landing pages require some specific functionality: - more device mockups (iPhone, iMac, MacBook, iPad, Android devices...) - more integrations (e.g.: Zapier) - specific components (integrations list, code examples) - illustrations - hello bars and widgets ('see us on GitHub/ProductHunt/IndieHackers/BetaList') - ratings from AppStore/Google Play/ProductHunt and many more. I'm building not all-in-one solution, like Wix, which can help anybody on the planet. But a narrow-targeted tool for a small cozy audience which I know very well. And - it's important to notice - I don't just want to solve a 'we need a landing page for our startup' problem. I want to solve the entire web representation problem (that includes landing page, email newsletter, corporate blog, helpdesk, lightweight CRM, Stripe payments, analytics & heatmap). I can tell you more about the vision of Unicorn Platform if you want 🙂
Florent Clapié
It's really great! I bought one LTD. 😃 Good job! I am mainly interested by the components to build stunning websites. As a developper, I'm not interested by hosting because I prefer to use Firebase (CDN, Rollback, SSL...). And I prefer to build a SPA in a PWA. For me, the real advantages are the components.
Alexander Isora 🦄
@florent_clapie thanks for the support and welcome to the herd! ✨🦄 I'm glad that Unicorn Platform gives you value right here right now - it makes me so happy! Is there something that you miss in the product? Maybe some specific components? Or micro elements such as checkboxes or rangers? Btw, I promise that you will be able to export HTML even in the v2.0 version of Unicorn Platform (with hosting and online editor).
Florent Clapié
@alexanderisora Thanks for your answer. It's a bet on the futur of your platform. 😉 For now, I need nothing, it's 👌Just need more and more components. Best,
Kimmo Ihanus
So coool platform! I can code, but it always takes too much time to tweak the CSS and I'm still not able to get is as good looking as the agency level websites. WP is way too heavy and static-site generators take time to configure as well. I wish this kind of platform would have a light user authentication / API-key management system, and it would be the total killer.
seb
Very nice product, and the fluidity is wonderful !!!! you rock
Alexander Isora 🦄
@seblemeur thanks Seb. P.S.: Did you know that your Twitter profile is hidden by default? 🤔 I've never seen that before.
piyush

Nicely designed and clean code, one of the best landing page generator I have seen in a while.

Pros:

Beautifully designed templates !

Cons:

None till now

Alexander Isora 🦄
Thanks for the warm, Piyush! 🎩 I'm sure, the future Unicorn Platform updates will make your experience even better.
Jesper Weltström
Hi @alexanderisora for me as a not very technical entrepreneur, i would love the option for a hosted version. This whole download and edit thing, implies that i have to upload and edit server settings etc, well it just makes me use a different product. Love the flow and the great variation of templates and components.
Alexander Isora 🦄
@weltstrom Hello Jesped, good point. I started with a simpler concept (HTML export) to get some funds to hire skilled developers and create a complete website builder with the online content editor and hosting. If you want I can personally notify you when the v2.0 of Unicorn Platform is ready. Or you simply can follow the project.
Tatyana Gazizullina
Cool and fast platform! Very suitable for a quick project launch!
Max Bloom
Alex, I love it. I sent you a DM. Lets get in touch
Alexander Isora 🦄
@livecoinwatchmb hello Max! Thanks for the love. I've replied you in Twitter.

Alexander Isora 🦄
@imknight Hi Knight 🛡! Thanks for the reference. I need to have a closer look at Landen, it's a very promising project 👌

@roland_hovsepyan Sup, Roland. I'm glad you liked it.
Prateek Keshari
Super useful!
Alexander Isora 🦄
@prateekkesharii Thanks for the comment, Prateek! Have you already created a landing page with Unicorn Platform?
Welvin
Uhm, wish we could build the other pages too before exporting. But I'll give it a try this morning. I have a new client looking for a simple landing page generator, and I think this is a great one to try.
Alexander Isora 🦄
@welvinrc hi Welvin, thanks for the suggestion! Curious to see what you will build. Rly.
