Then you will be redirected to the list of Regular Pages, and press the "Create a new page" button.
You will then have a blank page with no template. If you are creating an LP from scratch without using a template, you will have to add elements as is, but you can be sure that It is better to use a template and edit it to make a "landing page like that So this time we will create it using the template!
Press the "..." button in the upper right corner and click on "Page Template.
Then a list of templates will appear, choose the template you like and click "Select this template"! (Don't worry, you can of course change it later!)
This time, I chose the "Packy" template.
I chose the template "Packy" this time. A pop-up window will appear. Since we have not yet created the page, don't worry about it, just check the box and move on.

Each page is free to create, so if you have other pages you'd like to create, why not give it a try!
Techniques to take LPs one step further and make them more stylish
By the way, I have created some pages with PageFly myself, and I think it made my landing page even more stylish! Here are some of them.
Add a fade-in
fade-in is an animation in which elements appear fluffily as you scroll down the page.
This fade-in can be easily implemented using PageFly! I think this animation makes the landing page look very sophisticated.
To do this, select "Section" on the left and click on "Animation" in the General tab. Then choose "Fade in" under "When display" and you are done. With a few clicks, the fade-in has been implemented!
By the way, there are many other types of animations besides Fadein, so of course other animations will work as well. (In many cases, you will not be able to see the actual movement until you publish the page.)
Keep text as small as possible.
Another thing I personally think you should practice is to modify the font size.
PageFly templates are generally set with a larger font size. And if you change the text in the English part to Japanese, it will look even larger.
Therefore, I thought it would make the landing page look more professional if the font size was reduced overall.
To do this, click on the text you want to change on the screen and go to the Styling tab. Then go to the "Font Size" section and set a smaller font size!
