I would make a plain HTML Javascript landing page. Use a simple Mailchimp form to collect emails.

I thought you were talking about launching a tech startup in 24 hours. Why does a landing page take that long?
Start to going live for https://skilledup.life was a few days. No landing page - couldn't see the point of it.
But wish you all the best.
Since your question is not limited to tools, this is what I would do:
1. Spend 80% of my time crystallising the value I want to showcase on the landing page. What is it that I want people to take away and why does it matter? Start a Notion/Google doc and document all of this.
2. In the remaining 20%:
- Buy domain on Namecheap
- Go to Webflow and choose a suitable template with a form to collect emails to build a waitlist
- Copy-paste the content I wrote in point 1
- If stock images are not going to work, whip up something easy in Canva
- Publish to live
- Spread the word on my LinkedIn and Twitter and start collecting emails for early interest
Pagemaker
I am Kaushal Gajjar, CoFounder of Pagemaker. We are running an agency for creating high-converting landing pages. We built landing pages for well-known startups and companies as well.
Creating a HIGH-Converting landing page in 24 hours is impossible if you are going to design from Scratch. And that's why we created a product called Pagemaker to create landing pages in just 15 mins with our decade of experience in the same space.
Pagemaker: No-Code Mobile-First Landing Page Builder
Link: https://pagemaker.io
After checking the tons of tools available in the market like InstaPage, Wix, and many more, we decided to create a CRO-focused and Mobile-First landing page builder to help users create landing pages from the predesigned CRO-focused modules with our experience. All the templates in Pagemaker are tested and used for different clients. And based on the conversion data we have, we created the library of those high converting templates.
It's easy, no hosting required, and you can use almost all the features for Free in creating your first landing page. π€

Our company uses Storyblok to create landing pages, which means our development team put in the hard work initially to make it consistent across all webpages. Once their involvement was complete, the marketing team can step in to take over the actual creation of it.
The hardest part is defining the purpose and goal of the landing page and then creating the copy and graphics for it. The actual creation part is fairly straightforward.
For example, the landing page we created for our Product Hunt took about an hour total to create, review, edit and publish. We had our goal, prepared the materials, and it was simple after that.
Bubble, Typedream...anything #nocode really
I'd focus on the copy and ditch the rest. Whatever the reason is to launch such a page in such a short amount of time, best is to focus on what moves the needle: copy.
Actually, this would be a great project for any team: remove any kind of design on your homepage, and focus on the story you want to tell.
As a maker, of course, I'm terribly biased, but I'd use Candu to embed pre-built no-code components. We have a bunch of pre-built templates, so I could use the other 20 hours to watch Harry Potter. https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Lexington Themes
Tailwind And Next.js, it should take a couple of hours if you already have the design

I would build it from template with Umso or Unicorn Platform.
Carrd.co and a Storybranding for web template. BOOM
MemesMarket
These are the tools I would use to create a landing page under 24 hours.
Cloudflare.com - DNS management and more
Zoho.com - Business email provider
Dope.Link - Link-in-bio with custom domain for landing page
Emailoctopus.com - To collect emails
Crello.com - To create graphics
Web-Analytics.ai - To gather analytics and replay sessions
SEO-Checker.io - To check if SEO is good
QR-Code.ai - To create QR Codes that users can scan and share.
Peppertype.ai - For copywriting help
It depends if you have knowledge or not...
If not... follow all the replies here.
If you have some knowledge :
- Infomaniak, GoDaddy for the domain name and hosting.
- WordPress installation in 1 click.
- Use first a free template.
- Free Plugins for what you need.
Take a bit more time, but after you pay only the domain name and few dollars a year for the hosting.
Just a landing page: custom build with next.js, tailwind and deploying it to AWS s3, cloudfront, route 53, and maybe putting cloudflare in front of that .
If I would need someone else to update content later I would prefer some cms, probably wp and building it for wp.
I would make sure I have a community of supporters behind the product too.

Step 1: Use an AI content generator to help speed up the process of creating content, like what to say on the website -- writing it in a clear, way.
Step 2: Get a domain --- Namecheap
Step 3: Build the website in HTML, use Mailchimp for the list building (Free package)
Step 4: Push the HTML to (Github Pages - Free Hosting) alternatively, if I want a more sophisticated hosting (FOR EXAMPLE, say I expect to launch on PH or some other platform where I could get traffic spikes, I would use the Free static website hosting *App Platform* from Digital Ocean, which is built to scale)
All this and all I will pay for is the domain itself.
Bubble has a handful of templates that are quick and easy to use in the template marketplace. For example, I've thrown this together in the last 22 hours: shorturl.at/etwQS
