Launch a side project landing page in a weekend with Claude + n8n + Hostinger

Give Claude the answers from step 1 and ask it to draft a five-section landing page: headline, subheadline, one-line value prop, 3 benefit bullets, and a single email-capture CTA. Iterate three times. The first draft will be too clever; the second will be too generic. The third — once you've told Claude exactly which lines feel off — usually lands. Keep it short. A landing page that fits on a laptop screen without scrolling converts better than a long-form page when you're still validating.

Open Hostinger and pick a .com or .io domain that's short and memorable — even a slightly awkward name beats a long descriptive one. Hostinger's shared hosting is overkill for a static landing page, but it includes a free domain on annual plans, which is the actual win. If you prefer something leaner, use Hostinger's Website Builder for a fully drag-and-drop static page. Either way, you can ship a real domain for under $30 in year one.

You have two reasonable options. Option A: use Hostinger's Website Builder, drop in your Claude-drafted copy, add an email-capture block, and publish. Fastest path. Option B: if you're comfortable with code, paste your copy into a single-file HTML template (Tailwind via CDN keeps it tidy), upload via FTP or hPanel's file manager, and connect the domain. Either approach is a 30–60 minute task once the copy is locked. Avoid spending the weekend tweaking design — your landing page will look fine.

You need a place for emails to actually go. The fastest options: ConvertKit (free up to 1,000 subscribers), Beehiiv, or a simple Google Sheet via Tally or Formspree. Connect your form to one of these — most accept a webhook or direct integration. Test the flow end-to-end with your own email before moving on. A capture form that silently drops emails is worse than no form at all.

Sign up for n8n Cloud (or self-host if you prefer). Create your first workflow with a Webhook trigger — that webhook is what your form will POST to on signup. Add two parallel branches: (1) an email node that sends a personal-feeling welcome message ("Hey, I'm [you] — saw you signed up. What made you click?"), and (2) a Slack node that pings your personal Slack with the new email and any other form data. The welcome email is what converts a curious signup into a real conversation. The Slack ping is what keeps you motivated when signups trickle in.

Share the link in 2–3 places where your target audience genuinely hangs out — a niche subreddit, a relevant Discord, a small group chat, your own LinkedIn or X. Don't blast it everywhere. Watch the signups roll in over 48 hours, then email every single signup personally within a day. The landing page metric that matters is not visits or signups — it's how many people reply to your welcome email. That's your validation signal.
