    Craft a compelling story. Selling is storytelling.

    Great advice. I plan to use this for buildfaster.co on it's landing page. Currently it doesn't have too much of that "storytelling" factor and I think that's the reason why I'm losing conversions. I am working on showing that "main problem" that people have when coding their websites and if I nail that, I'm set. 👍

      Beautiful design. I'd like to see how you incorporate storytelling. What use case(s) do people have when they go with buildfaster.co over Carrd, Landen or similar?

        Thanks!

        If you want to have your end product to be more customized and different. Coding with HTML is much easier to customize into your own. I've tried Carrd, Landen, and other sites but they restrict you to that one design. HTML can take you further than you can imagine.

          That makes sense. Do people start on those sites and convert?

          Seems like they may prioritize setup speed at first. Then optimizations. I see you have templates too. So this may be a non-issue. Just curious?

          1. 2

            For most of my sales so far, I've worked on searching for people who need a website or an urgent redesign. Do you think I should start looking for people to transfer to my site instead of others?

            1. 1

              Your strategy seems solid. Flexibility is the wedge. And you're going after those who need urgent redesigns.

                Thanks for your help!

    Hi @dru_riley , I believe you have the wrong founder for Nada real estate app shown. Brianne Miller is in fact the founder of Nada, but it's the Canadian packaging-free grocery store in Vancouver. 😅 Cheers

      👋 Thanks Blake. Looks like Nada (grocery) had a crowdfunding campaign too. But rewards-based, not equity. Which makes your find even more impressive.

      Thanks again
