edX also has some built-in integration for using a general frontend marketing site.  
It allows for redirecting certain pages such as the course listing, terms of service, or arbitrary pages to the marketing site.

There is additional documentation available here: [https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/wiki/Alternate-site-for-marketing-links](https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/wiki/Alternate-site-for-marketing-links)

I think Open edx built in intgration is not powerfull enough to cater todays marketing needs,
