I just came across you a week or so ago and the value that you give is superb! I just invested in The Profitable Website Launchpad and look forward to tapping into your wisdom :-)
That's awesome, welcome to the program La Johnna! You'll be getting a personal welcome from me shortly... Can't wait to get your new site up and running!!
PLEASE...PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!! I love this..the before and after, most UA-cam channels talk about it, but you actually show physical examples helps me visually ...tremendously.
Glad to know it helped you one way or another. This is a regular series, and you'll be sure to find more of this. I drop new videos every Tuesday, so don't forget to drop by every time to be updated. 😎
Thank you SO much for your time and help on evaluating my website's home page. Whenever I asked others about what they thought about my website, they all said it is fine. I think people don't want to hurt my feelings so they are not honest but we all need you to tell us the facts and after you explain it, makes so much sense. I am going to redesign the home page, especially the hero section. You are the best! BTW, the reason you and many other dog lovers don't have a well-trained dog is because of the dependence on the treats. Treats also cause long term health issues as you figured it out. I can help you with your dog for sure. Just ask and it shall be done. Simply, let me know what issue is the most that bother you and I will have a solution for you which will work for sure. Once again, thank you so much.
Hey Wes, I just wanted to say that I've been a long time watcher of your videos, and it's been really great watching your channel grow. Plus, I really appreciate your content. It's been crucial in my own growth as a marketer. Thank you for all the work you do. I know I'm not the only one that sincerely appreciates it.
I've viewed many videos online but this one really gets across the idea of getting your hero section to work harder. Very clear and easy to watch. Congratulations!
Thx Rodrigo! I made these video reviews to help everyone to understand how to create a great website. I'm always happy to know that they help you one way or another. Keep posted for more videos coming your way soon.
I just heard you in Matt Johnstons podcast and went back home to watch your UA-cam channel, and I really like what you show and teach! I have just watched a couple of videos and also looked into how the different pages you review look today. And I'm surprised that those who are lucky enough to get your "make over" doesn't change the webpage accordingly. Maybe most people understimate the importance of what you teach: 1 What do you sell, 2) How does it make the life better and 3) How to do business with them, or the CTA... Strange. but Thank you for informative, and great content!
Thx! I really love helping businesses grow and want my videos to be easy to understand and straight to the point. Watch out for more videos dropping soon!
Wes I hope you don’t mind but I have taken a bit of your headline from the concrete example for a landscape gardening headline “ turn your ugly garden into a beautiful work of art”
This is amazing, amazing feedback and lots of ideas to apply to my own website! Are you still doing reviews? I would love to have my schools website featured there :)
Thnx and good luck with your website building! I'm not doing any reviews, but I do offer a limited number of coaching sessions ( wesmcdowell.com/private-coaching-consultations/)
Hi, thank you for this video and your channel. It is really helpful! Can you please advise what kind of image would you recommend for the rustic furniture store?
Thanks for uploading website analysis video - very informative and helpful in webdesigning! How about a series of web reviews, your handpicked sites where we can also learn a lot from through your thorough analysis!?
Hi Wes, before I pay 100 bucks for a 4k video, will the website I built support it? I am using WordPress elementor hosted by blue host. I basically built one from your how to make a bold WordPress site video. Also how do I go about hiring you for that 2hr consultation?
@@WesMcDowellInc and for my 4k video question? If I could also make a recommendation for the beginners. I spent hours of time on the website you showed us how to do in another video and money on a video just to learn that it needs to be hosted somewhere. If you host it at youtube it has the controls visible and the youtube logo and if you host it at Dailymotion it does not loop. So now I am stuck without with a video i paid for that I cannot use. As you have many make over videos with videos in them It would have been nice to know this before as I would have only used photos on my hero section.
So you used Elementor to build the site? If you use a YT video as a background the controls should not be visible. Done it a million times myself with zero problems.
Hi Wes, in this video you are showing that the first information on a page should be about the benefit your customer gains. On the other side in video about seo you told that the page main heading should contain a keyword people search on a google. These two often arent the same. What to do in that case? Is it a dilemma seo vs. conversions?
Hey Wes, great content as always you've helped me improved my website by all means!. I was wondering how you feel where the hero section should be put on? i've seen it goes on top at times but also around the middle (like the dog case). Could you gives us more thoughts on that? thanks in advance!
Hey Wes! I Love your Content a lot! I am however wondering if you would give examples with a tangible product like tea, coffee etc. Your content is mostly targeting services. Keep on bringing great content! Thanks!
Where is the top of page links? I would like to see how the header links are incorporated above the new hero image. Otherwise, I found your video inspiring.
Hello. I've tried to download the free masterclass in order to get a feel before I purchased the $600 product. I've input my email five or six times and still nothing to my email box. I'd love to buy from you but I need a little more confidence first. I'm not sure why the link doesn't go through and get me the link to take a look
Hey Kathy, just did a little detective work on the backend of my system, and it shows the email with the video was sent to you. Have you checked your promotions and possibly spam folders? Sometimes it can wind up there. Let me know if you still don't have it!
Thanks for sharing these (and thanks to the folks who participate). One thing I am a bit confused with, though, is that with The Birth Nurse, you felt it was okay to use her image as the "hero" as she was the actual brand, however you have dissuaded others (that were coaches...the "brand") from doing it in the past. Have you shifted a bit since doing those ones in the past? Or do you have some other set of criteria for deciding when it is OK that you might be able to articulate a little more? Thanks.
Hey Mike, I would actually prefer she use one of her other photos of her with her students, but couldn't find that photo to use. I think it CAN be ok for a personal brand to lead with their own photo, particularly if they already have a following. But for the most part, I do recommend leading with a more customer-centric photo. Just wanted to show a version of this in action here for a very specific type of personal-brand business.
This isn't a technical how-to video. It's about the messaging. The way you make a site responsive depends completely on how you're building it in the first place.
The Birth Nurse photos focus too much on her. Maybe have photos of mothers and show them more. She can be shown in sessions etc...but the focus on the mothers.
Wes, in a Previous video, you said that Wix Websites wind up looking more like Pinterest fails. Take a look at The website I Created, chasefamilyboatsales.com using wix. The one gripe i have right now with WIX is lead generation is a bit tricky to figure out how to optimize. I work on this website at least weekly, often daily. and yet i still am not sure how to push more people into a purchase. Take a look see if you have any quick suggestions.

Wes I hope you don’t mind but I have taken a bit of your headline from the concrete example for a landscape gardening headline “ turn your ugly garden into a beautiful work of art”
Go for it!
@13:54 I had to double check and see that that new hero photo was of Wes and his dog 😂
Really? I thought it was a stock photo
This is amazing, amazing feedback and lots of ideas to apply to my own website! Are you still doing reviews? I would love to have my schools website featured there :)

Very helpful
thank you for the value video, amazing content, quick question, do you have a pdf with a checklist of things we should look out for?
I'm sorry, I don't... I should make one!
Solid gold baby
Thx, Ken! I'm always happy to share what I know to help others in their businesses. Keep posted. More videos coming soon.
I signed up for the class any chance when that will be sent out. you have very good information. Thank you
It should have gone out almost immediately. If not, pls check your spam folder, and lmk if you still dont have it.
Great video! Thank Wes! A question. If my client business are a Electrical Store, how can I put a clear Hero section without mention just the store??
Marce, what's the problem the store solves for its customers? Put THAT in the hero section!
Hi Wes, before I pay 100 bucks for a 4k video, will the website I built support it? I am using WordPress elementor hosted by blue host. I basically built one from your how to make a bold WordPress site video. Also how do I go about hiring you for that 2hr consultation?

Yep, you just have to weigh it out and try to get your keyword in there IF it makes sense to do so. Always write for people first, and for Google 2nd.
I started using video backgrounds but they just get in the way and slow your page down.
Hey Wes, great content as always you've helped me improved my website by all means!. I was wondering how you feel where the hero section should be put on? i've seen it goes on top at times but also around the middle (like the dog case). Could you gives us more thoughts on that? thanks in advance!

Hey James, yea, I concentrate on service businesses for this channel. Sorry!
@@WesMcDowellInc I still like your content either way. Am just greatful that most of your content are helpful for my coffee startup! :-)
Where is the top of page links? I would like to see how the header links are incorporated above the new hero image. Otherwise, I found your video inspiring.
Joe Donnalley that wasn’t the topic of this video but I can talk about that in a future video!
I'm starting to develop an internet crush on you. OMG you are so GOOD! xoxoxoxo

Hey there.great video.i see you offer a 60 minute course.is it for free?I would really like to do it
But how do you make that mobile responsive

The Birth Nurse photos focus too much on her. Maybe have photos of mothers and show them more. She can be shown in sessions etc...but the focus on the mothers.

Clever or Clear?
I think you are right, but the hard thing is so often the "clear" feels more boring.
Clarity is always the way to go, even if it doesn't seem as flashy. Thank you for watching Lydia!
