3 things you really need to learn to make good landing pages are photoshop, HTML/CSS(!) and PHP. You really should know SQL/MySQL as well unless you want to run static pages forever.

Wrong (about photoshop). Any ad agency you go to, an art director is going to send the web guys a photoshop file to cut up, not a fireworks or illustrator file. What's even faster than anything for cutting up simple landing pages is to slice up layouts in imageready (create slices form guides) and have it spit out the html/css which is really simple to make final tweaks to. To design a single landing page in photoshop and then export the html from imageready takes me like 1-2 hours.
