The homepage content workbook
Modules and worksheets to give you a structured, strategic approach to deciding what content to put on your homepage.
Less guesswork, more game plan.
Take your homepage from foggy to focused
Is your homepage a bit ‘meh’? Performance not where you’d like? The problem might not be what’s on the page.
No really. Even the best design and crispest copy won’t shine if there isn’t a solid strategy behind them.
The problem with a lot of homepages is they start with a template of boxes to fill, or a list of assumptions about what’s needed. But a great homepage starts with planning out the ‘why’ before you create the ‘what’.
This workbook will guide you through a structured, logical process for deciding what to put on your homepage and why. It’s based on my experience of helping people through this process throughout the years.
Inside, I’ll give you a library of different content elements to choose from and worksheets to help you decide which elements to use in what order. It won’t give you wireframes or wording, but it will give you a clear plan for what content you need and why.
