The 5 Things You NEED To Build Landing Pages That Convert At 6%

In less than 10 minutes, I break-down the 5 critical elements you need to make landing pages convert at 6% and higher. Watch the full video here.


My Personal Tech Stack

Ok, so I've been designing and building landing pages for several years...

But there's only been a few of what I'd call truly essential tools that have helped me scale my clients and increase their bottom line...
​
Reflecting Confucius' wisdom, "If a craftsman wants to do good work, he must first sharpen his tools."

These are those tools...

​

1) Heatmap Tracking Software

I use Heatmap.com to analyze a store's performance and come up with the highest-impact optimizations to boost revenue.

This tools is the best I've yet come across for showing you exactly what needs to be optimized.

You really need to have a tool like this on your store — especially as you scale!

​

2) Split Testing Software

I rely on Intelligems for setting up, launching, and tracking A/B tests to determine which landing page and website elements boost conversions.

I've tested over a dozen split testing tools, this is by far my favorite to use.

​

3) No-Code Development Software

I use Instant.so for development.

  • It's 100% code-free
  • Won't slow down your store
  • Has an insane plugin that allows you to convert your Figma design into a developed version — instantly!

​

4) Design Tool

I design all my high-converting landing pages and CRO optimizations in Figma.

There's nothing else quite as powerful!

​

5) Image Compressor

I use this free image compressor to keep page speeds fast.

​

6) AI Tools

I use optimize images using Adobe Photoshop AI — it has powerful AI capabilities that have taken the quality of my photos to the next level for my clients.

I also use ChatGPT and MidJourney to help streamline my processes, such as generating ideas for copywriting and coming up with cool ideas for photos and branding. Try them out!

​

7) Store Platform

Of course, I use Shopify as the robust foundation for scaling brands.

It's still the #1 platform for launching and scaling your DTC brand, in my (very biased) opinion of course!
