Marketing pages in Makerkit live at `apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/` and include landing pages, pricing, FAQ, blog, documentation, and contact forms. These pages use Next.js App Router with React Server Components for fast initial loads and SEO optimization.

## Marketing Pages Structure

The marketing pages follow Next.js App Router conventions with a route group:

```
apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/
├── layout.tsx              # Shared layout with header/footer
├── page.tsx                # Home page (/)
├── (legal)/                # Legal pages group
│   ├── cookie-policy/
│   ├── privacy-policy/
│   └── terms-of-service/
├── blog/                   # Blog listing and posts
├── changelog/              # Product changelog
├── contact/                # Contact form
├── docs/                   # Documentation
├── faq/                    # FAQ page
├── pricing/                # Pricing page
└── _components/            # Shared marketing components
    ├── header.tsx
    ├── footer.tsx
    └── site-navigation.tsx
```

### Route Groups Explained

The `(marketing)` folder is a route group that shares a layout without affecting the URL structure. Pages inside render at the root level:

| File Path | URL |
|-----------|-----|
| `app/[locale]/(marketing)/page.tsx` | `/` |
| `app/[locale]/(marketing)/pricing/page.tsx` | `/pricing` |
| `app/[locale]/(marketing)/blog/page.tsx` | `/blog` |

## Customizing Existing Pages

### Home Page

The home page at `apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/page.tsx` typically includes:

```tsx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/page.tsx" %}
import { Hero } from './_components/hero';
import { Features } from './_components/features';
import { Testimonials } from './_components/testimonials';
import { Pricing } from './_components/pricing-section';
import { CallToAction } from './_components/call-to-action';

export default function HomePage() {
  return (
    <>
      <Hero />
      <Features />
      <Testimonials />
      <Pricing />
      <CallToAction />
    </>
  );
}
```

Each section is a separate component in `_components/` for easy customization.

### Pricing Page

The pricing page displays your billing plans. It reads configuration from `apps/web/config/billing.config.ts`:

```tsx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/pricing/page.tsx" %}
import { PricingTable } from '@kit/billing-gateway/marketing';
import billingConfig from '~/config/billing.config';

export default function PricingPage() {
  return (
    <div className="container py-16">
      <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold text-center mb-4">
        Simple, Transparent Pricing
      </h1>
      <p className="text-muted-foreground text-center mb-12">
        Choose the plan that fits your needs
      </p>

      <PricingTable config={billingConfig} />
    </div>
  );
}
```

See [Billing Configuration](/docs/next-supabase-turbo/billing/overview) for customizing plans and pricing.

### FAQ Page

The FAQ page uses an accordion component with content from a configuration file or CMS:

```tsx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/faq/page.tsx" %}
import {
  Accordion,
  AccordionContent,
  AccordionItem,
  AccordionTrigger,
} from '@kit/ui/accordion';

const faqs = [
  {
    question: 'How do I get started?',
    answer: 'Sign up for a free account and follow our getting started guide.',
  },
  {
    question: 'Can I cancel anytime?',
    answer: 'Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time with no penalties.',
  },
  // ... more FAQs
];

export default function FAQPage() {
  return (
    <div className="container max-w-3xl py-16">
      <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold text-center mb-12">
        Frequently Asked Questions
      </h1>

      <Accordion type="single" collapsible>
        {faqs.map((faq, index) => (
          <AccordionItem key={index} value={`item-${index}`}>
            <AccordionTrigger>{faq.question}</AccordionTrigger>
            <AccordionContent>{faq.answer}</AccordionContent>
          </AccordionItem>
        ))}
      </Accordion>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Contact Page

The contact page includes a form that sends emails via your configured mailer:

```tsx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/contact/page.tsx" %}
import { ContactForm } from './_components/contact-form';

export default function ContactPage() {
  return (
    <div className="container max-w-xl py-16">
      <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold text-center mb-4">
        Contact Us
      </h1>
      <p className="text-muted-foreground text-center mb-8">
        Have a question? We'd love to hear from you.
      </p>

      <ContactForm />
    </div>
  );
}
```

#### Contact Form Configuration

Configure the recipient email address in your environment:

```bash {% title=".env.local" %}
CONTACT_EMAIL=support@yourdomain.com
```

The form submission uses your [email configuration](/docs/next-supabase-turbo/emails/email-configuration). Ensure your mailer is configured before the contact form will work.

## Creating New Marketing Pages

### Basic Page Structure

Create a new page with proper metadata:

```tsx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/about/page.tsx" %}
import type { Metadata } from 'next';

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'About Us | Your SaaS Name',
  description: 'Learn about our mission, team, and the story behind our product.',
};

export default function AboutPage() {
  return (
    <div className="container py-16">
      <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold mb-8">About Us</h1>

      <div className="prose prose-gray max-w-none">
        <p>Your company story goes here...</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### MDX Pages for Content-Heavy Pages

For content-heavy pages, use MDX:

```bash
# Create an MDX page
mkdir -p apps/web/app/\(marketing\)/about
touch apps/web/app/\(marketing\)/about/page.mdx
```

```mdx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/about/page.mdx" %}
---
title: "About Us"
description: "Learn about our mission and team"
---

# About Us

We started this company because...

## Our Mission

To help developers ship faster...

## The Team

Meet the people behind the product...
```

### Dynamic Pages with Data

For pages that need dynamic data, combine Server Components with data fetching:

```tsx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/customers/page.tsx" %}
import { createCmsClient } from '@kit/cms';

export default async function CustomersPage() {
  const cms = await createCmsClient();

  const caseStudies = await cms.getContentItems({
    collection: 'case-studies',
    limit: 10,
  });

  return (
    <div className="container py-16">
      <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold mb-12">Customer Stories</h1>

      <div className="grid md:grid-cols-2 gap-8">
        {caseStudies.map((study) => (
          <CaseStudyCard key={study.slug} {...study} />
        ))}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}
```

## Navigation and Footer

### Header Navigation

Configure navigation links in the header component:

```tsx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/_components/site-navigation.tsx" %}
const navigationItems = [
  { label: 'Features', href: '/#features' },
  { label: 'Pricing', href: '/pricing' },
  { label: 'Blog', href: '/blog' },
  { label: 'Docs', href: '/docs' },
  { label: 'Contact', href: '/contact' },
];
```

### Footer Links

The footer typically includes multiple link sections:

```tsx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/_components/footer.tsx" %}
const footerSections = [
  {
    title: 'Product',
    links: [
      { label: 'Features', href: '/#features' },
      { label: 'Pricing', href: '/pricing' },
      { label: 'Changelog', href: '/changelog' },
    ],
  },
  {
    title: 'Resources',
    links: [
      { label: 'Documentation', href: '/docs' },
      { label: 'Blog', href: '/blog' },
      { label: 'FAQ', href: '/faq' },
    ],
  },
  {
    title: 'Legal',
    links: [
      { label: 'Privacy Policy', href: '/privacy-policy' },
      { label: 'Terms of Service', href: '/terms-of-service' },
      { label: 'Cookie Policy', href: '/cookie-policy' },
    ],
  },
];
```

### Customizing the Layout

All marketing pages inherit from `apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/layout.tsx`. This layout includes:

- Header with navigation
- Footer with links
- Common metadata
- Analytics scripts

Edit this file to change the shared structure across all marketing pages.

## SEO for Marketing Pages

### Metadata API

Use Next.js Metadata API for SEO:

```tsx {% title="apps/web/app/[locale]/(marketing)/pricing/page.tsx" %}
import type { Metadata } from 'next';

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'Pricing | Your SaaS Name',
  description: 'Choose from flexible pricing plans. Start free, upgrade when ready.',
  openGraph: {
    title: 'Pricing | Your SaaS Name',
    description: 'Choose from flexible pricing plans.',
    images: ['/images/og/pricing.png'],
  },
};
```

### Structured Data

Add JSON-LD structured data for rich search results. See the [Next.js JSON-LD guide](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/json-ld) for more details:

```tsx
// JSON-LD structured data using Next.js metadata

export default function PricingPage() {
  return (
    <>
      <script
        type="application/ld+json"
        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
          __html: JSON.stringify({
            '@context': 'https://schema.org',
            '@type': 'Product',
            name: 'Your SaaS Name',
            offers: {
              '@type': 'AggregateOffer',
              lowPrice: '0',
              highPrice: '99',
              priceCurrency: 'USD',
            },
          }),
        }}
      />
      {/* Page content */}
    </>
  );
}
```

### Sitemap

Add new marketing pages to your sitemap at `apps/web/app/sitemap.xml/route.ts`:

```typescript
function getPaths() {
  return [
    '/',
    '/pricing',
    '/faq',
    '/blog',
    '/docs',
    '/contact',
    '/about',  // Add new pages here
  ];
}
```
