Build a Beautiful Next.js Landing Page with Monet in 10 Minutes

Designing and building a landing page from scratch takes more time than you'd expect. Layout planning, responsive design, animations—by the time you've handled all the details, you've lost focus on what really matters: your content.

In this guide, you'll learn how to quickly bootstrap a Next.js project with easynext and create a professional landing page using Monet components in under 10 minutes.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

• Node.js 20 or higher
• npm, yarn, or pnpm
• A code editor (VS Code recommended)

Setting Up Your Project

Install easynext

easynext is a CLI tool that streamlines Next.js project setup. It comes pre-configured with Tailwind CSS, shadcn-ui, and other useful libraries so you can start building immediately.

# Install globally with npm (recommended)
npm install -g @easynext/cli

# Using yarn
yarn global add @easynext/cli

# Using pnpm
pnpm add -g @easynext/cli

Create a New Project

Once installed, create your new project:

easynext create my-landing-page

Navigate to the project directory:

cd my-landing-page

Start the Development Server

Let's verify everything is set up correctly:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the initial page.

Choosing Monet Components

Now it's time to grab the components you need from Monet.

Browse the Component Gallery

Visit the Monet Component Gallery to preview and select UI components. Each component includes a live preview and source code ready to copy.

Essential Landing Page Sections

A typical landing page needs these sections:

1. Hero Section - The main area that creates the first impression
2. Features Section - Showcase your product/service highlights
3. CTA Section - Drive user action
4. Footer - Contact info, links, and additional information

Each category offers multiple styles, so choose what fits your project's concept. Here's an example of a hero section you can use:

hero

cap-so-hero-1

light-thememodernsplit-layout

Integrating Components

Set Up File Structure

First, create a folder for your landing page components:

mkdir -p src/components/landing

Add a Hero Section

Find a Hero section you like in the Component Gallery and copy the code. For example:

// src/components/landing/hero.tsx
export function HeroSection() {
  return (
    <section className="relative overflow-hidden px-6 py-24 sm:py-32 lg:px-8">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-2xl text-center">
        <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold tracking-tight sm:text-6xl">
          Build Better Products Faster
        </h1>
        <p className="mt-6 text-lg leading-8 text-muted-foreground">
          Create beautiful landing pages without the complexity.
          With Monet, 10 minutes is all you need.
        </p>
        <div className="mt-10 flex items-center justify-center gap-x-6">
          <a
            href="#"
            className="rounded-md bg-primary px-3.5 py-2.5 text-sm font-semibold text-primary-foreground shadow-sm hover:bg-primary/90"
          >
            Get Started
          </a>
          <a href="#" className="text-sm font-semibold leading-6">
            Learn More <span aria-hidden="true">→</span>
          </a>
        </div>
      </div>
    </section>
  );
}

Add a Features Section

Follow the same process for the Features section:

// src/components/landing/features.tsx
const features = [
  {
    title: "Quick Start",
    description: "Copy & paste components ready to use instantly",
  },
  {
    title: "Full Customization",
    description: "Tailwind CSS-based for easy style modifications",
  },
  {
    title: "Responsive Design",
    description: "Works perfectly from mobile to desktop",
  },
];

export function FeaturesSection() {
  return (
    <section className="py-24 sm:py-32">
      <div className="mx-auto max-w-7xl px-6 lg:px-8">
        <div className="mx-auto max-w-2xl text-center">
          <h2 className="text-3xl font-bold tracking-tight sm:text-4xl">
            Why Choose Monet?
          </h2>
        </div>
        <div className="mx-auto mt-16 max-w-2xl sm:mt-20 lg:mt-24 lg:max-w-none">
          <dl className="grid max-w-xl grid-cols-1 gap-x-8 gap-y-16 lg:max-w-none lg:grid-cols-3">
            {features.map((feature) => (
              <div key={feature.title} className="flex flex-col">
                <dt className="text-lg font-semibold leading-7">
                  {feature.title}
                </dt>
                <dd className="mt-4 flex flex-auto flex-col text-base leading-7 text-muted-foreground">
                  <p className="flex-auto">{feature.description}</p>
                </dd>
              </div>
            ))}
          </dl>
        </div>
      </div>
    </section>
  );
}

Here's a production-ready features section from Monet:

Assemble the Full Page

Now combine the components in your main page:

// app/page.tsx
import { HeroSection } from "@/components/landing/hero";
import { FeaturesSection } from "@/components/landing/features";

export default function Home() {
  return (
    <main>
      <HeroSection />
      <FeaturesSection />
      {/* Add more sections... */}
    </main>
  );
}

Don't forget to add a compelling CTA section to drive conversions:

cta

cap-so-cta-7

light-thememoderncentered

Customization Tips

Apply Brand Colors

Update the primary color in tailwind.config.ts to match your brand:

// tailwind.config.ts
const config = {
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        primary: {
          DEFAULT: "#6366f1", // Change to your brand color
          foreground: "#ffffff",
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

Test Responsiveness

Use your browser's developer tools to check the layout at different screen sizes. Monet components are mobile-first by design, but you may need fine-tuning for your specific project.

Next Steps

Use AI with MCP

If manually browsing components feels tedious, set up MCP to let an AI assistant automatically find and integrate components for you.

# Set up MCP in Claude Code
claude mcp add monet -- npx -y @anthropic/monet-mcp

After setup, you can request components in natural language:

• "Find a Hero section with gradient background"
• "I need a pricing table component"
• "Add a footer with newsletter signup"

For detailed usage, check out the Monet Components Guide.

Explore More Components

Monet offers many more components beyond Hero, Features, and CTA:

• Testimonials
• Pricing Tables
• FAQ Sections
• Contact Forms
• Navigation Bars
