It’s a strategy course – what should go on your website

Designing and running websites can be incredibly frustrating. You see a large number of users visiting your site, and yet, so few of them take action. It’s maddening!

This introductory course will teach you how to understand better the ways users think and leverage that to encourage them to complete your calls to action.

After just 4 sessions, you’ll be able to

• Understand psychology and how it influences our decisions.
• Elicit trust through your website.
• Build a user interface that persuades users to take action.
• Write compelling copy.
• Evaluate an existing webpage and identify ways it could be more persuasive.
• Create compelling calls to action.

It was a great course, easy to follow and well presented.

I deal with landing page optimization, quality score, and ad copy on a daily basis as a PPC specialist. The course is very hands-on with great examples and case studies (Booking.com is my favorite). Highly recommended!

Daniel Pirciu, PPC Specialist @ E.ON

This class will give you all the tools and techniques…

…you need to understand what motivates your users, and how to turn that into specific changes you can make to your site.

These changes will allow you to motivate users into action, without alienating them in the process. By adopting this kind of ethical approach to persuasion, you can increase conversion, while also encouraging repeat business and word of mouth recommendation.

But most of all, you’ll learn to avoid investing heavily in your site only to see disappointing results.

CXL Institute helps optimizers and web designers recalibrate their approach when it comes to making changes to websites. I encourage anyone who is interested to enroll today.

Show off your hard-earned skills and strengthen your profile

LinkedIn is easily the largest professional network in the world with more than 600 million users. 

But it’s not enough to just have a LinkedIn page, you need a great one—especially if you’re looking for new opportunities.

A 2018 CareerBuilder survey found that 70 percent of employers use social media to screen candidates. Over half of those employers are searching for your profile to see if you have the skills needed for the job.

What’s more? LinkedIn found that people who add credentials to their profile receive 6x more profile views than those who don’t.

This means that you can add your certificates to your profile, share your accomplishments in your feed, and join our alumni network!
