Components of your main section

The main section (also known as "hero section", "header", "above the fold") should highlight key benefits, transformation, and target student of your course.

  1. Course title (bold header): the name of your course which you can change in your Settings. Check out our detailed guidance for naming your course here.

  2. Course length: determined automatically based on your start and end dates in your Cohort Settings.

  3. Course description: a brief description of the main outcome of your course. See below for templates and exemplars.

  4. Image/video: upload a course image or video. Check out Maven's Brand Toolkit to download a template and design your own image. If you want to upload a video, Vimeo and YouTube links are supported.

  5. Call-to-action or "CTA": depending on your settings, this will be an email capture (waitlist mode) or a button saying "Apply" (application required) or "Enroll" (no application). Check out this article on how to adjust your CTA.

  6. Logos: add logos of companies you've worked for, clients you've coached, or alumni of your course. You can search logos to add in the "Brand logos" section of your landing page builder.
