The 7 Blocks Every Sales Page Needs

Steal my checklist: what a sales page actually has to do, in what order, and why most DIY pages quietly stall at block three.

A sales page is not a pretty page that mentions your price somewhere near the bottom.

It is an argument, arranged in the right order. I have designed a lot of them — for coaches, candle-makers, healers, bakers — and if a man selling premium worms ever knocked on my door, I would know exactly what his page needs. The good ones all walk the same seven blocks, in the same order. The ones that don’t sell are usually missing block three and hoping nobody notices.

And before anyone says it — no, this is not the enemy of beauty. The seven blocks are the marketing. Making the page gorgeous is the craft. I deliver both, always: best practice and aesthetic, on the same page, in the same sentence. You should never have to choose.

So here is the checklist I build from. Steal it.

People don’t read sales pages. They skim them until something gives them permission to care.

Block 1 — The promise, in their words

The first screen says what changes for them, not what the product is. “Book more clients without dancing on camera” beats “Welcome to my website” every single time. Say it plainly, say it warmly, and put it where the skimmers land first.

Block 2 — The face of the thing

Show the product or the result within the first scroll. A mockup, a screenshot, a before-and-after. Curiosity is not a strategy; clarity is. If they have to imagine what they’re buying, you’ve already lost half of them.

Block 3 — The objection, answered before it’s asked

This is the block most pages skip, and it’s the one that sells. “I’m not techy.” “I don’t have time.” “Will this look like everyone else’s?” Answer the fear inside the paragraph, not in a FAQ at the bottom where hope goes to die.

Block 4 — Proof that sounds human

Three short words from a real person beat a paragraph of praise. “Opened it in Canva and launched the same day” is worth more than any adjective you can write about yourself.

Block 5 — The offer, made concrete

What’s included, what it costs, what happens the moment they buy. A price hidden at the very bottom reads as shame. A price next to a clear list of what lands in their inbox reads as confidence.

Block 6 — The guarantee, or its cousin

Instant delivery, lifetime access, free updates — whatever removes the last wobble, say it out loud. People don’t buy when they’re sure; they buy when they’re safe.

Block 7 — One button, said twice

Top and bottom. Same words both times. A sales page with three different calls to action has zero.

I couldn’t help but wonder: why do we keep acting like a page has to choose between beautiful and profitable? It doesn’t. The blocks are the marketing; the design is the craft. I refuse to hand you one without the other.

Want the checklist already built for you? I made 33 ready-made sales pages with all seven blocks in place — open them in Canva, swap the words, launch this week.
