Seen a few of your videos about homepages and such. This one was by far the most easy to understand. The comparison to IKEA was very helpful. The example's shown from real websites were useful too.
I wish you offered to buy a PDF with examples of how the website needs to be laid out. To study and replicate the absolute best formula without waiting for a specific time for a course to launch.
As an Professional Editor and General visual Presentation enthusiast I want to really just raise my hat in regard to your Progress. These videos were always really nice to look at but you make literal jumps from video to video currently. Informative, to the point, engaging and nice to watch. This is really good content and I hope you know that. :D Thanks alot for all the Guidance through the Website creation hell. As much as I love editing, this isnt my forte, so I am massively thankful. 🙏
This is another of your awesome videos. So articulate and clear. The Ikea store metaphor is excellent. Since I discovered your channel, I have watched most of your excellent videos; thanks for the high-quality instruction. Even better, I have now invested in your Launchpad training program. And wow - it is epic! Such clear and well-structured training makes the technical topics easy to understand and strategic web design powerful and exciting. Even though I have been building websites for 20 years, your training brings my skills to a new level. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thats awesome to hear James, so glad you joined us in the Launchpad! If you need anything, just ask in the Facebook group and I'll get you an answer in the live Q&A. Looking forward to seeing what you create!
Hey Wes, really love your content, been watching bunch of your tutorials today and they are filled with of gold, would you be able to use the timestamp function to break down the videos a bit, just makes it easy flicking between the videos when I’m making live changes on my site and need to go back and reference a new section. Thanks Niall
Love your videos. Your B-Roll at Ikea is nothing short of a comedic masterpiece. It depicts the faces of every unwilling partner dragged into ikea by their loved one. Thankyou for not just the incredible informational video but also for making me laugh. p.s big fan, have watched your videos for the past 6 years. I owe a lot to you and your content.
Love your content and presentation Wes! I'd like to know how this can apply to ecommerce sites. I have two, both are very busy, lot's of product focus but hardly anything else as you describe it.
I just love your videos, Wes. You always do such a great job explaining things. I really wish your masterclass worked for e-commerce. Technically, your online platform (UA-cam, Facebook, and an online course) IS an online business. People who sell online via Print-on-demand, dropshipping, or have an Etsy or shopify store could seriously benefit from your methods. I hope you continue to grow your platform and make content for e-commerce as well. 💖💕
@@WesMcDowellInc I think you could really blow some ecommerce minds with bits other than cart stuff. Homepage layout for multi products based businesses does seem to differ from single or multi services. I've been researching all the top, mid and micro brands in my field, and none of them use this layout. I see how it "could" work, but consumers are such creatures of habit. If a website doesn't have a similar format to those they are used to shopping on, they clock out right away. Maybe someday you could do a brief overview of a multi-products biz homepage. Or a video on where to find the data to DIY the layout. Search has been turning up nothing. If you laid out the basics and turned it into into an online course, I would jump at the chance to buy.
I'm not totally new to the ideas,but I am new to creating a business from my current hobby. I've watched many videos from people and numerous of your videos on WordPress and building sites. Your advice and manner make me very interested in this, but I would have appreciated knowing the cost of your program. I'm ready to commit to someone I'm comfortable with, but I don't want my time wasted o ly to find out the cost is more than I can sway. Obviously the adage of what is too much to help you succeed, but hoping you understand..thanks for the great videos and I hope I can make this work..
Quick question. I'm doing my layout as suggested here. Could you answer this question for me? In the service section, you say to link the services to individual service pages. As you presented in another video, I thought about creating these services pages as landing pages. Your thoughts about that? I would guide most of the traffic directly to theses landing pages anyway. Thought it would serve two purposes at the same time.
Thanks for the content, I am wondering would you do the same layout or strategy for secondary services that you provide on top of your primary service that is already in the home page. let say that you are an accountant and you offer different services such as Budgeting and Forecasting, Tax Planning and Compliance, Financial Reporting and Analysis, Financial Advisory Services. Thanks
Man, you are really unbelievable ❤ I am not kidding, I have learned from you lots of things for free that brought me tons of money in profits. Alone the value equation ❤❤❤
Thanks, I love your clear and up to date information. I'm currently struggling to promote something that really seems to good to be true (the removal of chronic pain rather than manage it). I'm realising it is putting people off and I need to intrigue rather than focus on the actual result. Any tips?
Just found your content after spending a weekend diving into the funnel question for my next business. Luckily I have 3 clients with recurring revenue but no social media or anything yet. With the increase in traffic for your clients was it just SEO or social media or what got visitors to these new sites?
I have a question about your Profitable Website Launchpad. Can I use your templates/system on a host site like Podia? I don’t use Wordpress. (Great video, btw!!)
Thank you! You can definitely use the larger system (all the content frameworks, etc) no matter what platform you use. You won't be able to use my exact templates as they are specific to elementor, but you can for sure follow along and try to recreate the sections using your platform, as long as it lets you customize. Ive not used podia so I can't be sure about how flexible it is.
Is this for beginners? I am a good copywriter and understand social media marketing and know how to build websites from code etc but i would like to revamp what i have and be more clear in my message. I’m always learning more so wondering if this will teach me something or if it’s for beginners? Does it work for funnels too or just regular websites?
Does it have to be through WordPress? I've done a lot of redesigning of my website based on what I've learned from your videos, but my hosting company does not support wordpress.
Hello. I based in the UK and already have a wordpress site. However, I think it could really benefit from an overall and taking it through the processes you have mentioned. Is it possible to do the course but with an existing site and is it possible for someone based in the UK?
Hey Lucy! Yes, most people come into the program with an existing site. AS you go throiugh you may find you want to overhaul more than you think, and its pretty easy to do with the frameworks and customizable site kit I give you. But its up to you how much or how little you want to change what you already have. And yes, I have memebers all over the world, including UK! Its all self-paced through videos so doesn't matter where you are :)
I wish to sign Wes but due to my health issues iam not capable, just pray for having a website 🙏 no one can steal my images, is there anyone reading this can help me❤
Hello Wes - thank you for your videos. They are absolutely brilliant - please keep them coming.. One quick question please to make sure I understood what you are saying. The "3. Solutions Section" is basically an "About me" Section, as it seems that it talks about why I am qualified to to solve our pain point. ua-cam.com/video/jsOoglMSpdY/v-deo.html
Doors to The Launchpad are now OPEN! 👉 wesmcdowell.com/launch
Wes is 100% articulate. Always polished. Decoration guru. I bet he even smells nice!
Haha I like to think so :)
I love how you sectioned and laid out the info in your video exactly the way you recommend to lay out a home page.
Seen a few of your videos about homepages and such. This one was by far the most easy to understand. The comparison to IKEA was very helpful. The example's shown from real websites were useful too.
Glad you enjoyed it! We had fun filming there for sure :)
I blame you harshly for my serial viewing of your videos!
Great content, great delivery.
Happy you are enjoying it!
I wish you offered to buy a PDF with examples of how the website needs to be laid out. To study and replicate the absolute best formula without waiting for a specific time for a course to launch.
This is great advice! What’s also important is that you should be guiding the customer through the website and not the customer just wandering around.

Thanks so much, I have some amazing editors for sure. Its all them :)
Thanks so much Wes - we have just this minute purchased your programme and cant wait to get stuck in :)
That's awesome, welcome! Looking forward to meeting you inside the FB group :)
How did it go?

So cool! Thanks for watching :)
Amazing video! Like the pages the structure of the video is perfect! Great job!
Thank you Joao! Cheers!
This is a gold mine! Thank you for all that you give!

Thanks so much Casey! I in fact did drag my unwilling partner that day to film me, lol. I had fun, he did not :)
Incredibly helpful and easy to understand content as always. Thanks!
Glad to hear it, Holly!
😱😱😱 wow! What a video !!! This really gave me lots of emotions!!
Glad you liked it!!
Love the metaphor. It's perfect. And so is your content.
Thanks so much Cecilia!

Maybe one day! I do think a lot of what I show you does aply to ecomm, but I just dont ever wanna teach the cart stuff, lol. It gets way to technical.

What a great analogy!
Thank you!
Wow teaching with this IKEA example was so helpful!☺
Ha, thank you! Plus it gave me an excuse to eat swedish meatballs that day :)
You are literally the website guru
Haha, I'll take it :)
Do you offer templates for highly converting landing pages as well?
Man, you are really unbelievable ❤ I am not kidding, I have learned from you lots of things for free that brought me tons of money in profits.
Alone the value equation ❤❤❤
Happy to help!

Hi Wes, would this be a good fit for nonprofit websites? TIA.
Just found your content after spending a weekend diving into the funnel question for my next business. Luckily I have 3 clients with recurring revenue but no social media or anything yet.
With the increase in traffic for your clients was it just SEO or social media or what got visitors to these new sites?
Is this the sale as the Storybrand framework?

They’re so well done!

In that case, I'm in.
I've followed your UA-cam channel over the years and you have always had some some brilliant advice to give.
Thanks Lucy, that means a lot! Looking forward to seeing you inside in the Facebook group!
Would this work for single long form landing pages?
Yea for sure!
Im confused... it says may. Is your coursr not open?
No it closed last week, sorry!
I wish to sign Wes but due to my health issues iam not capable, just pray for having a website 🙏 no one can steal my images, is there anyone reading this can help me❤
Do you offer a done-for-you service? Or have trusted partners who follow your template and provide DFY?
Hey Derek, we do have someone we recommend. If you wanna fill out this form with my team they can send you his info: wesmcdowell.com/contact-us/
Yep.
i’ve never been in an IKEA store everyone seen one and I live in Northern California
You're missing out! The swedish meatballs alone...
If your ever in Sac area swing by the one there!
Hello Wes - thank you for your videos.
They are absolutely brilliant - please keep them coming..
One quick question please to make sure I understood what you are saying.
The "3. Solutions Section" is basically an "About me" Section,
as it seems that it talks about why I am qualified to to solve our pain point.
ua-cam.com/video/jsOoglMSpdY/v-deo.html
in a way yes. but it has to relate to you as hte solution to the problem. make sense?
@@WesMcDowellInc Yes it does.
A solution-centred "about me"
