1.2b Gloria Template Tour (NEW)

In this video, we are going to take a quick tour around the Gloria template.

So you're familiar with all the pages and sections that are available to you.

You probably noticed that we have multiple home pages, multiple about pages, multiple options for, for service pages, and then a whole bunch of other pages here.

So let's start with the homepage.

On the first version of your homepage, we have a split screen header so you can have an image of yourself that will fit in a nice little square here.

Then we have a section that, lists three potential services.

You could also potentially link out to three different pages on your website.

One could be your services page, or one could be your blog and one could be your contact page.

Kind of depends on how you structure your business and how you structure your website.

Our next section here is a quick introduction section to get to know you and then that links out to whichever about page you're using.

We've got a testimonial.

There's lots of testimonials sprinkled throughout the website because ideally you want to have them all over your website.

So everyone knows how wonderful you are.

But you might not have testimonials yet.

You may only have a couple.

You can just take these out anywhere you like.

We also have an option to include a testimonial slider if you have lots of testimonials.

So I'll show you that in a minute.

Next section is pulling in your blog entries.

If you are not going to have a blog on your template, you can remove this section.

I'll also show you in the course how to make backups of all of these pages.

So if, for example, you don't have a blog to start but you add a blog later, you can come and add this section back in.

It's super easy to remove sections, copy sections, move them between pages, and I'll show you all of that in the launch course.

Then next we have a section to have people sign up to your newsletter.

So this particular block connects to Squarespace email campaigns.

We talk about that all in the newsletter setup lesson.

If you are not going to capture email addresses on your website, you can take this out.

Then we have our footer, which appears on every page.

There are a few different sections in this footer.

This first one is just a Strip of images, a nice little photo gallery.

It can also pull in your Instagram profile and I'll explain how to set both of those up in the course.

Also, you can just take this out if you don't want to have these pictures here.

And then you can just have the footer which has the other important information that you have at the bottom of your website.

So let's take a look at the second homepage.

This homepage has a banner with a full width image.

So if this is an image that you have and you want to use this format, this is an option.

You could use this format on any of your pages.

All of the sections can be easily moved around if you want to put them together in a different way.

Then we have a section here that's a little bit simpler to just do a quick summary of your services and then link out to a services page, which would then list all of your services.

So just another option here.

Here we have another format of a testimonial that just has words and no image.

Another intro section here with a slightly different format.

And then we have another version of a newsletter signup block.

You might want to offer something free in return for an email address, like a download or a course.

It could be anything.

and so this is another format where you could put a picture of that thing, or it can just be a regular newsletter sign up with an image next to it.

So just another way to do that.

And then we've got our footer over here on the about one page.

This is a very big about page.

There's lots of different sections.

If you wanted to really talk a lot about your story, coaches often want to have, very detailed about pages so people can really get to know them and trust them before they work with them.

So you have this option.

You could use all of these sections.

You could take some of these sections out.

So we have a banner here with two images on it.

Then we have a section where you can, tell a story in a few paragraphs about yourself.

You could continue here in this section, or maybe here you list your credentials or something else about yourself.

Then we have a testimonial.

We have a section where you could potentially list your core values.

You could really use this for anything.

You could list three things that you wanted to talk about here.

And then we have another section where you could list more things.

Sometimes people like to include fun facts about themselves.

Or you could just list your credentials here.

So there are a lot of different sections with a lot of different formats that you could use to really, tell a story about yourself on this page.

Then finally, we have a call to action.

It's very important on websites that when people get to an end of a page, they know what they could do if they want to keep going.

You don't want to leave them hanging.

You want them to check out your services.

So that's a great place to link to at the bottom of your about page.

Then we have another version of the about page that's much simpler.

You might just want to say a few paragraphs about yourself and have one picture of yourself.

I know how hard it can be to find pictures for your website, so I have very specifically structured this template to have lots of options.

Options if you have lots of photos, and options if you don't have a lot of photos.

Or maybe you just don't want to have a lot of pictures of yourself all over the place on your website.

so there's lots of different options in this template depending on what your situation is.

Now we have a few different options for services pages.

Now we have a few different options for services pages.

These first two services pages are intended to list many services.

So we have a header here.

This one has an introduction section.

So you can talk a little bit more about your services before you list them.

Then you can list each of your services and talk a little bit about them here.

And this button currently links out to the contact page.

It could link to a page to schedule an appointment with you, or it could even link to a page that goes into more depth about this particular service.

And you could use the single service page for that.

You have, three sections here.

You can create more sections.

You can have fewer sections.

Then we've got a section here to talk about the process of working with you.

This might not make sense in every industry, but it's something that I wanted to include just in case you wanted to provide this information in your website.

Then we've got a testimonial and then a frequently asked questions section in case this makes sense for your business.

And then we've got another call to action at the end of the page.

Then the services 2 page is another one of those pages.

That is designed for.

If you don't have a lot of images, there's just one picture here at the top.

Then we've got a little visual banner where you could list some benefits of working with you or some features of your services.

And then down here you can just list your services without pictures.

Optionally you can include pricing.

So I, show how you might want to call that out.

Then we've got a testimonial here.

And then we've got another format for talking about the process of working with you.

You could use this for anything.

This could be different features or different benefits of working with you.

But each one of these drops down.

We call this an accordion block where you can put additional information inside each of these options.

Then we've got our call to action at the bottom of the page.

Then this last format of a services page is intended to go into detail about one service.

You could potentially have three of these pages on your website that each talk about your individual service.

If you're a therapist, for example, you might have a page on individual counseling, one on group counseling.

So we have a header here with a couple of images.

Here we have a scrolling banner, just another format that you could use to list some benefits or features of working with you.

Or even the different types of people that you work with could be on this banner.

Then here we have the details of the service, another option for talking about the process of working with you.

This one has four steps.

If you like a different format better than this one, you can just very easily swap them out.

We've got a testimonial and then another Frequently Asked Questions.

This one just has one column format and another call to action.

Then here is our blog page, as mentioned.

You can remove this if you're not using it and then bring it back later.

You can use this for writing blog articles.

You can use this for linking out to articles you've written in other places.

You can use this for resources, all different ways.

You can use a blog on your website.

Then we have our other pages.

These are just miscellaneous type pages that people like to have often.

This is a page that you can use for.

We used to call it a, link in bio page.

It could be on any of your social media profiles that take people to this page on your website.

And you can then direct them to anything specific you want them to look at.

You can also potentially include, a couple of articles from your blog.

Down here.

This has a special page that has the header and footer hidden.

So.

So it's just focused on what you want to tell people about yourself and your business and so you can point them in the direction you want them to go.

Next, we have a special page for a newsletter sign up.

The reason why this is here is that I have a button for subscribing here in the footer.

And if they click on this button, they are going to come to this page.

That's just the easiest way to do it.

If you want to have a newsletter sign up in your footer, you don't have to use this.

If that doesn't.

If that's not something you want to do.

Here is our page where you can embed a scheduling block.

There's a whole lesson that talks about some options for scheduling tools.

And you would add that onto this very simple scheduling page.

This is a page where people come.

If they have a broken link or They just have the wrong link for trying to get to something on your website.

They will come here and you can direct them to anywhere else on your website.

They can fill out a form to let you know what's broken.

And you can optionally list a few of your blog posts here.

The intent is, instead of just having them get to a page, it's like, whoops, that doesn't work.

You can redirect them so they stay on your website.

And then finally, here's a few other alternate sections you can swap out.

Here's a services section that uses some pictures.

If you have lots of pictures.

Here's another format that, just doesn't have those little text icons on it.

If you don't like those, I just wanted to show you how that could look.

This is another example that links out to three different pages on your website instead of three different services.

Here is the testimonial slider.

You could use this format anywhere on your website if you want to include lots of testimonials and people can, slide through them.

That's why it's called a slider.

And then finally we have your contact page.

This is how people can reach out to you.

They would fill out this form and then I show you how to customize this form.

And here we have a newsletter signup So that's a quick tour around the template.

Lots of options, I structured it this way to make sure that you have everything you need for a really good services website.

You can start small, you can expand as you grow, but there are a lot of robust options here.
