Wordpress questions

I have 2 questions regarding using Wordpress

1) Is it good to use WP specifically squeeze pages? Personally I like using WP more, because it’s easier to edit & test my pages, however I’m not sure if the conversions would be better on a normal HTML page. Does anyone have an opinion?


2) On one squeeze page I’m developing on WP I may want to change out the header graphic. Does anyone know where I can get inexpensive graphics for WP?

    Hi,

    It is easy to make squeeze page in wordpress and better for seo also. You can change header, footer or in content easily.

    You can get quality and cheapest graphics on fiverr.

      I think conversions will have to do more with the copy on your sales page, not so much the platform you use.

      If you prefer Wordpress, use that instead. The advantage over HTML is that it's more search engine friendly because it's designed to be a blog platform with RSS and can easily be updated. Google likes this.

      If you prefer HTML because the's what you've always done, then go with that.

    That's an interesting one: how would the conversion-rate differ because the page was built from a different sort of software? :confused:

    The beauty with WP is it's very easy to implement. If you are building a squeeze page for your next million dollar product, you should have it custom built with HTML, CSS, and other scripting languages for advanced effects.

    If you are marketing an item that you aren't 100% sure about, use WP. It's so much faster.

    I have extensive knowledge of php, MySQL, AJAX, HTML, CSS, etc., but I still use WordPress because there's no point in reinventing the wheel every time you create a new website.

      I'm new here so I dont want to post links.

      But in the past 2 years I've built around 10 sites, my team and I.

      It's a pain to create landing pages, sales letters, etc.

      HTML, CSS ETC.

      I just yesterday got started jusing the WP Plugin "OptimizePress" and it's freaking killer.

      You can just do a search and see what it does. It works like a charm.

      Thier is also another WP platform that does the same thing but the name does not come to mind at the moment.

    Plain, hand-built HTML or WordPress-built HTML... there is no difference when it comes to conversion.
    Actually, it has nothing to do with conversion.

    And despite what others say: you can NOt change the header/footer image in "content". That's a total nonsense...

    However, you CAN have a completely different design, if you are using a different Page Template.
    BTW, if you have already a good plain html squeeze page template - you can use it in your WP as a Page template. See the (no optin) guide in my sig.

    It'd seem a bit overkill to use Wordpress (or any other database-driven CMS) just for a squeeze page, really, I think?

    But yes - you could, in principle, use it for this with no problem.

    Depending on the extent to which you intend to make changes to the overall layout/design of your various squeeze pages for split-testing purposes, it may in fact be more work with Wordpress than if you were to just copy-paste a flat HTML file and make changes to the HTML source?

    What your site is running on in the backend really shouldn't have any bearing on your conversion-rate at all, though.
