Kites is an online, user-friendly platform that helps you create captivating landing pages and microsites without needing any coding skills. It’s like your own creative tool for building mini-websites that are focused, monetizable, interactive and visually stunning!
Here’s what you need to know about Kites:
Imagine a microsite as a a mini-website that exists separately from a larger, main website. It focuses on telling a specific story, highlighting a particular event, or showcasing a single product or service.
Here’s what you need to know about them:
Now that you have a better understanding of microsites, here’s a cool thing to know in the Kites world: our awesome Kiters refer to a microsite as their “Kite”! So, when you’re creating a microsite using Kites, you’re actually crafting your very own “Kite”! How cool is that?
Hey there, Kiter! They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Now, see for yourself what a Kite truly is! 😎
When it comes to building your Kite, understanding its key components is essential. In this article, we are going to talk about the two key components of your Kite: slides and elements!
SLIDES:
What are slides? They are basically “pages” within your Kite (landing page or microsite).
How many slides can you create? The beauty of Kites lies in the freedom to create as many slides as you desire!
How do you create a slide? You can create a slide from scratch or by adding our ready-to-use slide templates! In the editor, go to slides, click the “+” button, and select the slide that best suits your needs.
Navigation between slides: It’s the type of transition between the slides of your Kite. Actually, there are four types of navigation.
ELEMENTS:
What are elements? They are all the components that you can add to your Kite’s slides.
How many elements can you add to your slide? Just like slides, there are no limits to the number of elements you can add to your Kite! Add the necessary elements to achieve your goals!
What kind of elements exist in Kites? You will find a wide range of elements, ranging from simple elements such as text, images, videos, and contact buttons, to more exciting elements such as forms, downloadable PDFs, interactive maps, payment links, and, for programming enthusiasts, custom and iframe elements!
How do you add an element to your slide? In the editor, go to elements, click the “+” button, scroll down to explore all the alternatives, and select the element you want!
Now, it’s your turn to embrace the freedom of exploring different navigation styles and experimenting with various elements to make your Kite truly unique!

Kite link setup
Within the Kite settings, you can set up the following:
Your Kite’s style
Remove Kites Branding
Website details: You can customize your website’s title and logo. This information will be used in the Browser Tab, and also when users download a shortcut onto their phones (much like an app).
Meta information: You can customize the title, description and image to use when sharing your Kite on social media. This description will also help to improve SEO.
Analytics & Ads: You can add your Google Tag (Analytics and Ads) and enter your Meta Pixel in order to measure conversion rates.
There are three types of navigation within a Kite:
A slide is a page within a Kites microsite. You can create as many pages as you want and combine them using any of the three types of navigation described in the preceding section.
We offer several types of Slides: images, video, forms, maps, and more… You can make them from scratch or choose one of our templates and then customize it:
Elements are all of the different items you can add to your slides, including photos, videos, text, audio, buttons… Whatever you need!
These items can be inserted into slides, and then you can organize them however you would like when you create your Kite layout.
A huge range of functionalities can be added to each of these elements depending on the goals you want to achieve, as well as simplifying user navigation.
You can access all of the navigations information by clicking on “statistics” in the Kite. This will allow you to view a wide range of figures, including the number of hits and clicks, their location, user devices, and much more information.
You can adapt text and content to customize your Kite to match the language on the user’s device. Here are the instructions to add this language feature:
Did you know you can also use Kites as a Dynamic Link or a URL shortener?:
Dynamic Link: You can attach any link you want within Kites in order to forward users elsewhere. You can change the link whenever you want so that the end link always stays updated.
URL shortener: this is a website that reduces the length of your URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The goal is to shorten the website address so that it’s easier to remember and track.
You can share your Kite by creating a QR code that can be edited and customized. You can change its colors, background and shape, or even include an image.
Once you have finished designing the Kite, you can download it and start sharing.
Remember that you can always update the content even if you have already printed it out.
You can include your Kite on an existing website. These are your options:
By pressing the “Share your Kite” button, you will be given instructions on how to include these features. It’s a piece of cake!
If you have a new domain, and we want to include a Kite in it, you just have to enter it into the “Dynamic Link” section.
Once installed, you can give assign whatever domain you want to the Kite.
To promote your site on social media, you often have to create a landing page that loads fast so that users can get quick access, allowing you to achieve your conversion goals, or just provide information and carry out promotions.
You have two different options for social media: sharing the Kite through a link within a post, or as your Link in Bio.
In order to communicate in a modern, interactive way using a link inside a newsletter, instead of sending out emails with lots of text. The email recipients can access the information in a format they are used to (social media), and you get the chance to increase success in terms of your communication objectives.
With Kites, you will be able to update your communications through newsletters, as well as measuring what parts of your site attract readers and what interests them most.
Any campaign you hope to conduct on WhatsApp requires a page for providing your customers, or potential customers, with all of the information you want to share, thus allowing you to interact with them.
Kites is the perfect platform for WhatsApp campaigns that require sending out information, capturing leads, conducting surveys or sharing your product catalog.
The information you can get out of a Kite includes all of the data you would get from a traditional website, but with Kites it is far more reliable!
Would you like to know why? Well, we don’t use cookies, so our data is totally reliable and isn’t dependent upon browsers or other factors that can cause inaccuracy or uncertainty in a lot of the data that gets collected.
We have created a short tutorial for you so that you can see how easy it is to access this data:
In the setup section of your Kite dashboard, you can include your Google Tag manager in each Kite, allowing you to measure the data from your Kite through your Google account.
You can also add a Google Ads tag and meta pixel for conversion.
Because restrictions against cookies are on the rise, and their acceptance among users is decreasing, there are major problems in terms of data reliability and many companies’ privacy policies.
To deal with this, here at Kites we have decided to introduce analytics that aren’t based on cookies but which do reliably measure all Kites data.
