Sales Page Theme is the latest premium Wordpress theme from the guys at Unique Blog Designs, the same guys who designed Affiliate Theme and Squeeze Theme. They are also known for working on the themes of some of the top bloggers in the make money online space, including Yaro Starak, Shoemoney and John Chow.
Sales Page Theme is designed for anyone who has a product to sell or promote, but doesn’t have the html/css coding skills to create a sales page themselves. Using Sales Page Theme, you can literally set up an attractive sales page in less then 10 minutes. There is no need to mess around in the code as all the customization of your sales page can be done from within Wordpress itself.
Here are a few of the Sales Page Theme Features
- Main Settings Panel – This is where you can tweak all your Sales Page Theme customization options. Change the overall appearance, fonts, colors, add Google Analytics tracking codes and much more from within this simple to use interface.
- Sales Page Widgets – Each element of your sales page will be added as widgets. The theme has a built in product feature widget, testimonial widget, video widget and others. Each widget is easy to add, move around and customize so your sales page will be built exactly as you like it.
- Step-By-Step Video Tutorials – UBD is always excellent with their support materials and Sales Page Theme is no exception. The support page contains videos detailing every aspect of setting up Sales Page Theme so you can get up and running in no time. If you still have questions, you have direct access to the developers in the forums as well.

Get Sales Page Theme

If you have your own product to sell, or just want to promote an affiliate product via PPC, you’ll probably want to create some sort of Sales Page LP for it. At a minimum, a standard sales page will have a one-column layout, a compelling headline, and a list of benefits that will pre-sell the visitor to buying whatever product you are promoting. If you are a competent web designer, creating a static sales page like this isn’t too difficult. But what if you are using a CMS like Wordpress?
By default, creating a Sales Page with one of the default wordpress themes can be quite challenging. There’s just a lot of stuff to rework and takeout so you can achieve the clean look of a standard sales page. There’s a lot of different ways to achieve this, but in this post, I want to show you how to easily create a sales page using the Thesis wordpress theme, my current WP theme of choice. I originally learned how to do this from Marko Saric’s excellent tutorial, so I wanted to reprint the steps here.
1) Add a new page to your site and write your sales page copy.
2) In the page options, under the SEO Details and Additional Style section, there’s a field called CSS Class. In the text field, I’m entering the name salespage.
3) The next step is to remove all the unnecessary parts of your theme, including the header, sidebars, navigation menu, etc. To do this, you need to open up your custom.css file and copy and paste the following changes:
.salespage #header { padding: 0; border-bottom: 0em; }
.salespage #footer { padding-bottom: 0; border-top: 0em; }
.salespage #footer { display: none; }
.salespage #sidebars { display: none; border: none; }
.salespage #tabs {display:none;}
.salespage #content_box { background:none; }
.salespage .comments_closed { display: none; }
.salespage #header #logo { display: none; }
.salespage #header #tagline { display: none; }
.salespage #content { margin: 0 auto; float: none; }
Voila! Your very own “Sales Page Theme”. Now, any page that you tag with this new custom class will turn into a stripped down Thesis page. To make any additional modifications to your sales page, just prepend the .salespage class to any sales page specific css rules in the same custom.css file.
The rest of your pages and posts will be left untouched, so you can have a single sales page and have a standard looking blog as well. Very cool, and I think this demonstrates how powerful and flexible the Thesis theme is. I hope you try this tip out, the next time you need to create a sales page with Wordpress.
