I have been trying to build a landing page website for weeks now but I keep running into bugs like the contents is not taking the whole viewport height and width. My question is, are most landing page layout design in photoshop? I want to build something similiar to this website http://mattfarley.ca/ but my photoshop skills is not the best. Any tips on building a one page landing page portfolio?

Yes, a lot of landing page layout designs are created in Photoshop, but you can also use Sketch, UXPin, etc. too. It all depends on what you're the most comfortable with. The important thing is that you sketch out a good idea for the landing page and then create a wireframe for all device sizes. Then you can go on to coding the website, and it will be easier once you have an idea for what you want to do. It's great that you've been looking for inspiration, cause that's all you need to get started! You could also download a template for a landing page, and customize it to make it personal using your coding skills. Check out my landing page and code (by using the Chrome developer tools or Firebug if you're using Firefox) on http://marijohannessen.com/, I've built it simply using techniques I've learned here at Treehouse, and the design as you can see is very minimal. Good luck, I'm sure it will turn out great! :)
