What is a launch page? I'v heard squeeze page, landing page etc. But never heard launch page, please help me out.

Never used flexsqueeze but Optimize Press has my highest recommendation.

I absoutely love Optimize Press.

Profit theme never used.

Kajabi is very good but very technical not really made
for newbies.

If I was going to pick one it is Optimize Press without a doubt.
Its just so simple to use.

It sounds like you are fairly new so don't worry about Kajabi. I have all 3 of those themes and they are all very high quality, you can't go wrong with any of them. If you need salespages, if I had to pick one I'd go with OP. For squeeze pages all three are great. If you want it to use for a blog too, I would go with FS. And finally if you want a membership site go with PT. Hope this helps.

You will not go wrong with Optimizepress, it is very powerful and will save you hours setting up squeeze/sales pages as there is a page duplication function, just rewrite the text and adjust as necessary, there are many template options for whatever you want to do.
including membership pages and product launch pages.
It is continuously updated and support is on the ball.

You can use it for a blog although this is not what it was designed for the results are perfectly acceptable although it is perhaps not as flexible as some of the others mentioned.

My only gripe with OP is that the admin is quite slow, unless that's just my server. Good investment for $97 imo

never used flexsqueeze, but optimizepress has been the tried and true solution. currently im using profitstheme over optimizepress. each have their pros and cons, but right now im staying with profitstheme.

just do a quick comparo between the two softwares. there will be differences, you just have to make a sacrifice somewhere...as its always hard to find that "perfect" software that fits all your needs. good luck.

[locke815]

I would recommend you OptimizePress.

[bigballin6161]

I highly recommend Optimize Press

How come nobody ever mentions how much of a HUGE pain in the a$$ OP is?

I mean, yea...it's awesome and all of that, but if you've ever tried using it as an actual theme for a site it's a nightmare.


The squeeze pages and opt-in pages are OK...but they really could improve on the interface.....it's not the most friendly thing I've ever seen.

[TomBuck]

I have and like optimize press but if you just want a squeeze page on one page of the domain you have to have a dull blog post for the entire other pages.

[Mark Alan]

I have Profits Theme and Flexsqueeze, but I think purely for squeeze pages Optimize Press is better than either of those two options. IMO both the ones I use have a learning curve. I use Flexsqueeze on a lot of sites because its a great Word Press theme not because it makes good squeeze pages.

Because for the low price point, it really isn't a pain in the "a$$" at all. It is an incredible time & money saver for me personally.

[paul nicholls]

ive never tried flex squeeze but ive been using optimize press for over a year now and it has to be one of my best and most important tools in my business

you can create all kinds of squeeze pages, sales pages, launch pages

i also use optimize press a lot when i do wso`s to use for my download pages

the $97 is a worthwhile investment for any serious Internet Marketer

Paul

[TomBuck]

Im agreeing with wally247, because it is good but if you want a squeeze page on domain/squeezepage and then you want just a nice theme on your homepage you cant do it and I don't like. Im still in my 30 day money back guarantee period if I find something better I will change.

[mego818]

I like flexsqueeze because you can make a squeeze page or a squeeze page oriented website with there themes.

[larry1113]

I think optimize is absolutely great. It's blogging platform needs work but other than that it's great! Profitstheme looks good too and I heard it's blogging platform is better

[andyscraven]

Hi

I use Flexsqueeze and it is great and the developer is a really good guy who answers emails quickly.

It is about as flexible as you will ever need a Wordpress theme to be!

True, i also did this!

[Redwyn88]

If the sales / squeeze pages are your top priority go with Optimize Press. If you think you might want to try doing a membership site at some point check out Profits Theme, it also has some great page templates for landing pages, sales / squeeze pages, etc. I haven't used flex squeeze but between OP and PT you can't really go wrong.

Kajabi is not for newbies...if you are trying to build a membership site I suggest what I use on 95% of my sites..OptimizePress and Wishlist Member.

I paid for a service with a website set up with squeeze, oto and download pages installed for me. They used Flexsqueeze and the pages they made are really nice.

BUT since I do not have the Flexsqueeze license myself I can't modify much and it is starting to bug ...... (Flexsqueeze has very recently changed their licensing policy and now you are not allowed to make sites for clients without having the buy a license)

so I need to buy a theme.

I've tried with several different themes like Genesis, Canvas etc but the special pages are just "pages" on those themes - there is no function to take out the header, footer .....

Here's my question - If I buy optimize press will my "special" pages translate the same way as with Flexsqueeze or do I just have to get Flexsqueeze to not loose the work that has been done?

Thanks,

Sandra Walsh

I have used both OptimizePress and FlexSqueeze. Personally, I like OptimizePress better.

I'm afraid the two are really not interchangeable. You can do just the opposite with Flexsqueeze you can get the Optimize Press squeeze page look if you want. The author also makes a free theme called Flexibility. Essentially it's a cut down version for Flexsqueeze. If you like playing with the theme options in the free version then you'll appreciate the upgrade to Flexsqueeze.

I have Flexsqueeze and really like it. However presently I'm doing most of my work with Catalyst.

OP is a pain in the neck but it works. But it really depends on what you want to do. As a noob it's best to go with OP. You'll learn by using it and then you can branch out into other stuff. But I would start with OP.

yes

[LisaAllen]

OP can actually be used for a very nice membership site, but it needs a membership plugin to control access. But if you know how to set it up properly, you can really get gorgeous membership sites out of it.

Another one I like with the 2.0 release is Thesis, though it doesn't have ready-made squeeze page templates.

[zivkovicp]

I've got OptimizePress, it's pretty good... but shop around before you make your decision.

Don't get me wrong, OP is good. I bought it because I tried it out on a test drive on another site and decided to go for it... that said, I can see myself growing out of it quickly.

OP has a lot of really great features and is really easy to setup (generally), but it's not too flexible and digging around in the backend, I'm not overly impressed with the way it's coded either. It's just a pain to modify so far.

But, if you just want to get up and running quickly, buy it, it's a really nice product overall.

[john232]

Can anyone tell me which is the best theme for creating membership website.

[Shannon2011]

I've been using Optimize Press for several years now and love it. I've created membership sites, funnels and squeeze pages. It's really easy for newbies especially if you don't need too much customization. Right now, centered opt-ins with big background graphics are hot and converting well which OP doesn't do so I'm looking at FlexSqueeze or a few plugins. I'll let you know.

Either way, you can't go wrong getting OptimizePress. James is a really cool guy too and they are very helpful.

For the folks who think it's expensive, HUH? it's a money making tool. If you hired someone to make you all the sites you can make with one license of OP it would cost you $10K. It's only expensive if you don't expect to make money with it - time to change your thinking. I've spent thousands on websites, but of course, I've made 100's times that because I knew it was an investment in my business and I'm a full time marketer.

[Randall Magwood]

OptimizePress gets my vote. I have a client who uses this for her site. It's a great tool, and very simple and easy to setup. Give it a shot and see for yourself. I think you will agree with me.
