Creating Long-Form Landing Pages on Beehiiv: Tips and Tools Needed

Avatar of ArthurArthur

👋 Hey everyone — quick question about long-form landing pages! I’m new to Beehiiv and setting up a more detailed landing page for my newsletter — not just a squeeze page, but something long-form where I can:

  • Tell a bit of a story

  • Add visuals

  • Build trust before asking for a signup

What I’ve found so far:

  • Beehiiv’s built-in page builder feels pretty limited for this.

  • Support mentioned the advanced web builder might help — but

  • My designer says it’s still not flexible enough for a proper long-form layout.

What I’m looking for:

  • What tools or workflows are you using to create long-form landing pages for Beehiiv?

  • Are you using:

  • External builders (like Webflow, Framer, etc.)?

  • Embedding Beehiiv forms elsewhere?

  • Any templates or examples you love?

Would truly appreciate any advice, tips, or examples. 🙏 Thanks in advance — I know this is a generous community and I'm excited to learn from you all!

    This is certainly a long-form landing page, but I am super glad to tell you that it's now possible to do it in the beehiiv. No limitations based on what you want to achieve. Yes, you might have to adjust a bit few things here and there, but I see no issues achieve this.

    Keyur P. That’s awesome to hear! Just a heads-up—I’m not a designer, so I’d really appreciate having everything available before I dive in. Do you happen to have any resources, docs, or guides that would help me build a solid understanding of the advanced website builder?

    I do not have any resources or doc, but we have been building sites for few of our clients and we have already explored all these that you mentioned.
