The 4-Page Website Blueprint for Course Creators
If you’ve been putting off launching your course because your website “isn’t ready yet,” this one’s for you.
Here’s the truth:
You don’t need 12 tabs, a blog archive, or a pixel-perfect homepage to start.
You just need four pages that do their job.
These pages don’t just make your business look legit — they make it work.
And yes, this exact website (the one you’re on) runs on a version of this blueprint. Built with Squarespace, kept simple on purpose.
Let’s break it down.
Page 1: The Home Page (aka The Quick Hello)
Think of this as your digital front door.
Your homepage should answer three questions fast:
Who are you?
What do you offer?
How can I take the next step?
That means:
A short intro (1–2 sentences max)
A clear headline about your main course or service
A button that points to your offer or email list
Maybe a photo of you — people trust faces
Keep it light. You’re not here to impress. You’re here to welcome.
Page 2: The Course or Offer Page
This is where your course lives. Not in your head. Not in your notes.
Right here — in plain language people understand.
What to include:
What your course helps with (in real-life terms)
Who it’s for
What’s inside (a bullet list is fine)
When it starts or how it works
Price and how to sign up
Pro tip: Instead of making it all about “features,” focus on the fix.
What problem does this course actually solve?
Example:
“Learn to film short-form videos for your business — without feeling awkward or spending hours editing.”
That sells way better than “7 modules and 14 videos.”
Page 3: The About Page
This isn’t your life story. It’s your “why this, why now.”
Focus on:
What you’ve learned that helps your audience
Why you care about solving this specific problem
A few personal details to build trust (your approach, your vibe, maybe a photo)
Remember: People want to know if you get them — not just where you went to school.
Keep it warm, not corporate.
Page 4: The Contact Page
Simple is best.
Add:
A contact form
Your email address
Optional: links to your social media
This page says: “I’m a real person. You can reach me.”
Don’t overcomplicate it. You can add FAQs later.
Start with being reachable.
Bonus Page (Optional): A Freebie or Lead Magnet
If you have a free guide, checklist, or mini-training — create a simple page where people can grab it in exchange for their email.
This helps you build your list while offering real value upfront.
But don’t let this delay your launch. It’s a “nice to have,” not a “must-have.”
Final Thought
You don’t need a fancy website.
You need a functional one that does its job quietly and clearly.
Four pages. That’s it:
Home
Offer
About
Contact
This blueprint gives your course a place to live.
It tells people what to do next.
And most importantly — it gets you moving.
Don’t let perfection stall progress. You can always evolve it later.
