Humble brag alert: Instapage is the most customizable post-click landing page solution available. With more than 200 fully customizable templates and industry-first features such as:

No other post-click landing page platform can match our customization capabilities. (We now return you to your boast-free blog post.)
Among our customers creating post-click landing pages, many of you are designers (even if your title doesn’t specify that — you play the role of a designer).
Getting to understand you, the designer’s needs, has been an enlightening process. From the many insights gleaned from our countless conversations with designers, it became clear that a few of your needs weren’t being fully addressed. Among them, you need the ability to place and align elements with pixel-perfect precision and a platform that enables you to quickly design and iterate projects to meet the business goals.
So here they are.
Today’s announcement is another step to making our post-click landing page platform the most sophisticated and designer-friendly in the world.
What are the new design features?
We have released a set of design features that allow Instapage users to create pixel-perfect, on-brand post-click landing pages more efficiently, that speed up design and review processes, and ultimately drive more conversions.
Edge Measurement: Measure the pixel distance of an element or group of elements from another element, group of elements, or the boundaries of your post-click landing page.
Axis Lock: Using a keyboard shortcut, you can lock an element or group of elements to only move within the horizontal or vertical axis.
Keyboard Shortcuts (aka “hot keys”): Use keyboard shortcuts to perform common or repeated actions within the Instapage builder, i.e., group elements, move elements by 1 or 10 pixels, send to back or front, and add new types of elements.
All-in-one software doesn’t specialize in any specific marketing discipline, so it’s not likely they offer any of these features. That’s why you need a best-of-breed post-click landing page solution like Instapage.
Instapage is the only post-click landing page platform that includes the Edge Measurement and Axis Lock design features.
Key features and benefits of our new design features
Feature #1: Edge Measurement
Edge Measurement will replace the X & Y coordinates display and allows users an easier way to precisely align elements and groups of elements to other elements or the boundaries of your post-click landing page. With Edge Measurement, you can maintain consistent padding, balance, and symmetry across your entire page.
Below you see the pixel distances displayed from the surrounding borders as the image is moved in all directions. Simply click the element, hold alt and shift, and press the arrow keys to move the element to your desired location:
Feature #2: Axis Lock
Ever get annoyed dragging elements to line them up with the green guiders? Those guiders still exist, but the Instapage Axis Lock feature makes the alignment process much easier. Now you can maintain consistent padding, balance, and symmetry across elements and sections.
In this gif, notice how the image moves perfectly along the horizontal axis even though the mouse is moving in all directions. Simply click the element, hold shift, and move to your desired position:
Axis Lock also functions along the vertical axis, just move the mouse up and down to your desired position.
Feature #3: Keyboard Shortcuts
Design post-click landing pages more quickly and efficiently through familiar keyboard shortcuts to perform commonly used actions. Add, delete, and group new objects, send post-click landing page elements to the front, to the back, access Edge Measurement, and more:
