1. Kindra Hall
This one has everything a good public speaking website should have. A clear headline, bright images, and nice video footage. The inspiring tagline on the landing page will easily capture your attention because of the large font that they used for it. I also like the color palette which is very calming and has a professional vibe as well. Awesome!

Erik is an entrepreneur and public speaker. I love how this website builds on big pictures and lots of white space.

7. Katie Linendoll
URL: https://katielinendoll.com/
I like how to website instantly captures the attention of the visitor with an eye-grabbing background image. It’s interesting to see the main call to action button plays a video in an external window. I like the video, but would probably have it open up as a pop-up within the website so visitors don’t have to leave the website. Cool!
Things we love about this web design
- Awesome background image
- Nice video
- Slick design
Click the blue & white buttons to get started, or find a web designer 🚀
💡 Ideas to improve this design
- Move the social media icons away from the primary menu and put them in the footer. I find them a bit distracting as they’re currently shown.
8. Jeff Ponders
URL: https://www.jeffponders.com/
Love this one! This website features a powerful background image that instantly sets authority. The dark color palette gives the website an impression of seriousness and professionalism. However, the sleek design of the page makes it aesthetically pleasing and trustworthy to the audience. I love everything about this website, so check them out now. So minimal, so clean!
Things we love about this web design
- Awesome menu
- Cool background image
- One of the cleanest websites I’ve ever seen

💡 Ideas to improve this design
- I would consider flipping the background image and putting the text left-aligned. Our brain is trained to read from left to right, which could cause people to skim his headline, instead of actually reading it.
These are my favourites.

About the author
My name is Ralph de Groot. I love excellent web design. In fact, you can wake me up at night if you find an inspiring website. Besides writing on My Codeless Website I also love to read and travel.

Checklist: 5 ways to make your public speaking website beautiful and highly converting
1. Don’t break the 5 second rule
The moment a visitor lands on your website you only have 5 seconds to make a good impression.
That’s 5 short seconds to convince your visitor to stay on your website – and don’t hit the ‘back’ button.
Make sure the text on your website is appealing and gets your visitor excited. Don’t waste the first 5 seconds of somebody’s visit with unnecessary fluff.
2. Don’t confuse your visitor with too many call to actions
Great call to actions draw the attention of your visitors.
That said, you don’t want your call to action buttons fighting for the attention of your visitor. Pick the most important call to action for that page, and go with it.
In case you want to show multiple call to actions anyway, make sure to give them a different design, with your primary call to action being the most notable one.
3. Use video footage to make your website come alive
In the list with website examples you found some cool websites which use video background in the header of their website. If you have video footage yourself, definitely consider doing this as well.
- It makes your website come alive
- It adds credibility and makes you look professional
4. Use a ‘smart lead form’ to turn visitors into clients
Getting someone to visit your website is one thing. Getting them to do business with you is the next one.
Sure, you can add your contact information to your website – you should – but don’t expect people to be calling right away.
Make it easy. Add a ‘discuss your project’ contact form to enable them to get in touch with you.
Make it as easy as possible. I recommend not using more than 3 fields in your contact form.
5. Design mobile first
Last year over 52% of all the website traffic worldwide came from mobile devices.
More than half of the website visits are on a mobile device.
This percentage will only increase in the coming years, therefore the mobile design of your website is crucial for the success of your flower shop business.
When designing your website, think about the mobile design before you build your desktop website.
Growth hacking: 3 powerful strategies to promote your speaking website
1. Use a LinkedIn-bot to generate traffic on autopilot
Allright. You’re now probably thinking one of two things:
- That sounds spammy. I’m not going to do that.
- A bot? How does that even work? I’m not a scientist.
Trust me, I thought the same as you. But it’s not as sketchy as it seems.
Dux-Soup is a LinkedIn tool which allows you to ‘look’ at 100 LinkedIn profiles per day.
This tool automatically visits LinkedIn profiles of people of your choice. In the past, I’ve used this a lot to get in touch with business owners.
I would have Dux-Soup open the profiles of 100 business owners per day.
It’s actually pretty simple:
- Download the Dux-Soup tool
- Open your LinkedIn account
- Search for ‘business owner’ or any other job description’
- Click the ‘Visit profiles’ button.
Now here comes the important part: Make sure your LinkedIn profile is optimized.
This means:
- A good looking profile picture
- A good tagline which describes what you do
- A great profile description which demonstrates your skills as a constructor
- Some nice portfolio projects on your LinkedIn profile
Let’s say 20% of every profile visit converts into a ‘return-visit’. That will mean 20 potential business owners who look at your LinkedIn profile every day.
That’s 600 potential leads in a month.
2. Target hot traffic with retargeting ads
Imagine.
A potential client is looking for flower shop services and stumbled upon your website. But after scrolling through your website for 30 seconds, he or she got a phone call from a friend. After calling for 20 minutes they forgot about your website and they close down their computer.
Auch.
That’s why I use retargeting advertisements to bring back these lost leads.
This will enable you to display advertisements to people who visited your website.
Just install a Facebook pixel on your website to target all your website visitors with an advertisement on Facebook or Instagram.
3. Experiment with offline marketing
Here’s one I absolutely love. If you send cold emails to potential clients, probably 10% or less will open it. Now what if you change that to physical letters? That’s more like 90%.
Now I don’t want you to write the entire sales letter by hand, simply the name+address on the envelope will do.
Bonus tip: I’d recommend you to buy coloured envelopes, as they get noticed better and will increase your open rate.
