Hi @Sven. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the knowledge sources, there are a few approaches to customizing your landing page in a Wasp application:
Using Layouts
One way to create an appealing landing page is to use layouts. Currently, Wasp doesn't have built-in layout support, but there's an open issue to add this feature (Add support for Layouts (UI)). In the meantime, you can create your own layout component manually.
You can define a layout component that includes your header, navigation, and any other consistent UI elements, then wrap your pages with it. This is the current recommended approach until native layout support is added.
Customizing the Head
For customizing the header of your page, you can use the
app.head property in your main.wasp file. This allows you to add custom elements to the HTML <head> section, which can include styling information:
Examples
For practical examples, you can look at:
1. The Thoughts example app which demonstrates how to implement a custom navbar: Thoughts Example App
2. Specifically, check the Layout component (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/main/examples/thoughts/src/client/Layout.jsx) and TopNavbar component (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/main/examples/thoughts/src/client/TopNavbar.jsx)
3. The OpenSaaS template also has examples of dropdown components: DropdownUser Component
Alternative Approach
If you need a highly customized landing page with strong SEO, some Wasp users opt to create their landing page using a different technology like Next.js or Astro, while using Wasp for the core application. This is especially common for SaaS applications where the landing page needs to be highly optimized for search engines.
However, it's worth noting that Wasp can still perform well for SEO by properly using the head property to add meta tags, as demonstrated by projects like CoverLetterGPT.

Sorry @Sven, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?Hi @Sven, this is a matter of taste 😄 The good news is that pages in Wasp are just regular React components, and that AI assistants are quite good at them. You can ask Copilot, Claude, Copilot, v0, ... and they will all give you good results and explain how you can tweak them.
What is the best way to work with ai assistents with my wasp project?
I'd say a good first step might be to ask https://v0.dev/ to generate something, work with it, and copy the react component to your wasp page.

Chat with v0. Generate UI with simple text prompts. Copy, paste, ship.
okay
thanks
