Think of your homepage as the face of your business. People go to your homepage to get an idea of what you sell or what services you offer, why that matters to them, and how you can help them. That is why I made this episode to help you understand these homepage mistakes that are costing you your potential clients.
You have approximately five seconds to capture the attention of your audience who came to see what you are offering. If you don’t let them know how you can help them within the five-second window, you are sure to lose them.
In this episode, you will learn about the six mistakes business owners usually commit when they make their homepage. Alongside these six mistakes, I also added ways on how you can fix them as a sure fire way to capture your audience’s attention.
If you want to know if you’re committing these mistakes and want to fix them, don’t miss this episode!

I’ve learned that whatever this guy says, I need to pay attention. As a designer, I also appreciate the guidance for others to match up your pix to look good together and go with your content. It’s so Obvious that it needs to be said. Thx for posting!

Such fantastic info thanks Wes! That button color tip being the only time you use that color is brilliant. There's a trap of focusing too much on incorporating branding colors into every possible element of your site and you can end up almost hiding your buttons and CTA's.

While running ads Should we use different platforms for landing page or we should make it in our website itself ?

I love how in the intro video example... that guy didn't find what he needed on one page... so instead of clicking the back button... he just gave up on life.

Wes, since 80-90% of visitors aren’t ready to buy or even speak to us, should we make the one featured call to action button something further up the funnel?

Hi Wes, amazing video as always. I have also realised Fat Joe is using your photo and website copy to advertise. Would you recommend them for web copy writing for homepage?

Have to disagree with the dentist example. When someone goes to a dentist website they know what the dentist does, and usually know what they need. The original headline in the example actually differentiates this office from its competitors and gives the prospect peach of mind as to the quality and scope of work that they do.

Your advice is awesome thanks. Is it bad to say "Schedule a Free Consultation"? We want them to know it's free but the word "free" also cheapens the value of it. Hmm.

@PhilipHarperGraphicDesign
@PhilipHarperGraphicDesign 2 года назад
This is a great question; I would suggest A/B testing this (after you've done all the other pieces Wes suggested). "Free" is a responsive word, and very few businesses actually charge for a consultation or quote but it does make people click. Other Calls-to-action would be "claim your…" "get your…" "Book your…" keyword being "Your" implying, it's yours already, you just need to do the one thing to get it. Good question though. And good tips.
@WesMcDowellInc
@WesMcDowellInc 2 года назад
I actually think its fine to use Free in this context, its a powerful word...And I also like Philip's suggestions, all great stuff!

Hi Wes can my home page have a video invite to join my free mini video series to build like and trust before booking a phone call or do I need a separate home page and funnel landing page to my free course ? I’m just starting a new site at the moment thanks
