No clue what's next

Got stuck with your website plan?

You need a lean, mean, sexy selling machine as an online presence, not a nightmare of cobbled-together bits! There's endless possibilities out there, but you're overwhelmed and not sure what's best for you. Maybe you've already tried, but somehow you got stuck and you have no idea what to do next.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • I want to build my own website, but I don't know where to start
  • Squarespace, Wix, Elementor, Divi...they all sound good but I don't know which is right for me
  • I got a website, but I don't even know how to make quick changes
  • My website doesn't look anything like what I have in my head
  • I'm afraid I'll make the wrong choice (again) and do all the work for nothing
  • I spent SO much time already and my website still looks horrible
  • I don't know anything about web design

Hey, there's just no need for you to become all desperate because building your website sucks. Not only do I have a solution, I've made it fun, easy-to-use and most of all, all-inclusive.

No light at the end of the funnel?

kickstart your brand new website and get by

with a little help from a pro

Nowadays there are more than enough DIY website options. Each of them with pros and cons, most of them very good solutions. The problem is: It takes more than just a fancy template, cool looking theme or elaborate software to build a good website. And chances are you can use some help.

It doesn't really matter that much whether you use Elementor, Divi, Squarespace, Wix or whatever. These are all just means to an end. It's not the 'what' but the 'how' that matters in the end. To launch and maintain a good, successful web presence, you need a structured plan for your content and design. A roadmap to online greatness. A Website Plan.

What if you can

  • create your website with a professional web designer by your side
  • have someone show you what you actually need to know and what you don't
  • have someone show you practical design tricks that make all the difference
  • get moving fast with a step-by-step roadmap
  • make giant leaps just by applying the bare basics of web design
  • learn how to easily manage your own WordPress website
  • learn how to maintain a consistent, great looking website in a sustainable way

 
And what if could launch that project with a fully-functional, ready-to-go, professionally designed and configured WordPress website?

Let's put 2 and 2 together!

Sample pages and templates

We have taken the liberty to already pre-populate your WordPress site with sample pages.

Also available to you: A frequently updated collection of templates for sales- and landing pages!

Easy-to-use layout tools

I found the ideal way for you to personalize your site. Especially for you, I made a selection of premium tools that are super-practical and easy-to-use! They allow you to quickly design or edit layouts, choose colours and fonts. Simple and practical. You can easily build your pages modularly with a super-practical drag-and-drop system.

******

Normally, the combined premium tools cost more than €200/year, but for Website Planners, everything's included in your one-time investment!

Website strategy roadmap

Before we get all creative in WordPress, we're going to make sure we do it with a plan! Starting with a checklist, to see if you have everything in place for your mission. Followed by a, step-by-step website plan. If you somehow don't manage to finish, you still have the chance to do so at your own pace.

Support

For 2 months you'll get access to a dedicated Facebook group, where you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and exchange experiences with fellow website launchers. Plus: Once every two weeks there are live Q&A sessions in ZOOM. Once you're done and ready to go online with your site, I'll be there for technical assistance.

Hosting for your website is NOT included. When you start, your ready-made default Website Launcher Website is hosted on my server at Raidboxes, flat out the best WordPress hosting company (Plus: It's climate positive company!), and you can start working on that right away. You will have to take care of your own hosting package within 2 months though. Once you did that, I'll transfer your website to you. For more questions, check out the FAQ section below!

What did they think of The Website Launcher?

Martina Wildt

It's SO worth it. You have very good tech and design support when creating your page, and then later you can then edit it yourself at any time. Thank you very much for your great work and especially to Hans, who managed everything so reliably and clearly.

brand-new-du-wir-white

Annette Bauer

It really made me want to get into it, take action and be able to build a website myself. The support from Hans was always very caring and warm. This is so valuable because I was guided in the right direction, but I was still able to build it myself at my own pace. For everyone who really wants to understand who they are and what they stand for and not just want a "bought" website for themselves.

brand-new-du-wir-white

Dr. Anja Breetholt

You get a great, pre-designed website that really looks beautiful to start with and that you can adapt to your heart's content! It really helps if you at least a bit of a feel for design and you definitely need enough time so that you can finish the page in that time. The support is world class and every question is answered within a very short time. No matter what your wish - Hans makes it possible. I felt very well looked after!

brand-new-du-wir-white

Sandra Thierolf

The tutorial videos were great, all clear and understandable! I was able to understand the individual steps well and apply them to my website myself. The DIY theme is great! It's great to work with. I was able to adopt many modules 1:1 and only adapt them to my design. The Website Launcher is THE course if you want to get your website up and running in just 8 weeks. Hans knows how to explain step by step how to get from A to B with humor and know-how, so that in the end you'll have a website that you designed yourself and can be proud of!

Nathalie Follmann

I really enjoyed The Website Launcher. The course is great, especially for WordPress beginners, because no knowledge is required and the site is set up from the start. Hans created lots of great templates so that I could get started right away. Every week there were new video tutorials in which he dealt with different main topics. We all worked individually on our website, but thanks to the common Facebook group, there was always a great exchange and the other people's questions often helped me a lot. My highlight were the weekly calls, in which we went through open questions and were also able to take a look at the websites of the other participants. With Hans as a thoroughbred designer, I had someone by my side who not only helps me with technical questions, but also has incredibly good know-how and a feel for design. So a full recommendation for everyone who has the desire and time for a WordPress adventure where you are your own art director!

Man on a mission

A pro right by your side

My name is Hans Groen. I'm Bright Idea's very own, all-in-one Art Director, Graphic Designer, Web Designer / Programmer. In our 1:1 client work I'm responsible for high-quality design, with implementation on- and offline. Digitally and analogously! Through years of experience working in agencies as well as independently, I can offer a full range of design solutions. My Zone of Genius however, would definitely be creating tailor-made websites. My unique combination of both design and programming skills allows me to do so independently. Over the last couple of years I've worked on over 100 web projects, mainly in WordPress.

However, shockingly, there are only 24 hours in my day, too...and at Bright Idea we simply cannot always take on every project that comes along. I also know that not everyone is ready for customized, done-for-you work, if only financially, yet my heart beats for those biz newbies with burning ideas on how to improve the world.

That's why I started looking for a way to expand our services in a way that's attainable for everyone. Enter The Website Launcher!

"For me Hans is a creative and inspirational genius. He has great ideas what you can improve on your website. A 5-star-recommendation from me for anyone who wants to build their website under professional guidance!"
