How I shipped a landing page in one weekend

My product worked but my homepage was a Notion doc with a signup link. Embarrassing for demos. I blocked a weekend: Saturday for copy, Sunday for build and deploy. I stole structure from three products I admired—hero with one sentence, three bullets, one screenshot, pricing teaser, FAQ with five real objections from sales calls. No custom illustrations. Unsplash photo, system font stack, one accent color from my logo. By Sunday night it was live on my domain with Plausible installed. Demo requests doubled the next week—not because the design was pretty, but because strangers finally understood what the product did in under ten seconds.
