How do you create quick landing pages as a developer?

I want to start a new side project. The play book says to create a quick landing page with a wait list.

Just the standard stuff, header, some features, wait list. I am a good developer and usually just do a "real" nextjs page and start with a template from tailwindui or something.

This works reasonably fast, but creating components, pages etc still takes the time it takes.

I thought there must be hundreds of page builders out there that just do this super fast. Liek 20min. But I didnt really find anything I like. Carrd, Convertkit, Framer... none of it looks right.

My question is: Is it even worth it to fuck around with these tools, if you're a "real" developer? I am so used to spinning up new projects, github repos, hosting them.

I even found a site in the same area that I like, also using tailwind that I can just copy components from and iterate on.

If I keep doing this I probably just create a serverless function to capture emails and use on every project that puts 2 columsn into a google doc or something.

I feel like I just wasted 2-3 hours looking at meh tools to avoid writing some boring frontend code when I couldve just sucked it up and be done with it.
