The sibling of ShipFast, and it shows: “Learn to code in weeks, not months,” one-time pricing with “Access forever (no subscription)” (#27), 12+ testimonials with faces (#29), and real proof — “4,334 entrepreneurs,” “12 hours of video (215 lessons),” “$200,000” (#3). Two honest dings: the hero offers three different buttons — “Get instant access,” “Take the red pill 💊,” “Learn in weeks, not years” — where #22 wants one; and #19 is hard for any coding course, a category buyers have seen a hundred times.

Three CTAs in the hero, not one
rule 22Found: Rule #22: “When people have multiple paths, many choose none. Give people one next step. Just one.” The first screen offers “Get instant access,” “Take the red pill 💊,” and “Learn in weeks, not years.”
Fix: Keep “Get instant access” as the single primary button; demote the red-pill line to flavor text, not a competing action.
- 2
Two tiers, not the Good/Better/Best three
rule 12Found: Rule #12: “Keep it to three choices: Good. Better. Best.” The page offers the course at $169 and the ShipFast bundle at $299 — two options, not three.
Fix: Add a clear middle tier (e.g. course + a cohort/coaching add-on) so the structure reads Good/Better/Best.

“Coding course” is a category people have seen
rule 19Found: Rule #19: “Nobody shares another clone. Surprise people.” Online coding courses are a crowded shelf; the fresh angle — building real businesses, not toy apps — is in the body, not the hook.
Fix: Lead with the thing no other course says out loud — students shipping real, named products (epicaitravelphotos.pro, landingpro.ai).

Rule #5: the share card is often seen more than the site. We can't confirm it from the live render — flagged low-confidence.

Rule #4: “Finish strong.” A course full of shipped student projects has obvious share fuel — engineer the last screen to push it.
