In order to provide the best experience for our clients by reducing the loads on our servers use this document as an SOP for building a landing page with our Forms tool.
Why is this important?
Our Forms tool is not built to host landing pages. Landing pages are anticipated to have a lot of traffic, image(s) loaded into the Patch File Manager tool, and served up every time someone visits the landing page. This is expensive on our servers so at this time it is best to encourage clients to host the landing page image on an image hosting service/CDN to reduce costs on our servers.
