I'm sure you've seen them around... Those professional looking header sections with a big "hero" image and a title text on top.

All the pros are using this layout on their website. 

But somehow, when you try this on your own homepage, it never looks quite as professional.

Let me show you step by step how to create these gorgeous looking header sections and how to make them look good on desktop AND on mobile. 

One of the things that makes Thrive Architect such a powerful visual editor is customizability. You can fine-tune almost every design detail of everything in your content. For example, you can add and customize drop shadows, inside shadows and text shadows to Thrive Architect elements.

In this video, we'll take a tour through the shadow effect features and we'll look at how to use shadows for conversion focused design.

You know how some websites just look... good.

You tinker and tinker, but nothing you do achieves that look of professionalism.

It's like there's some design secret no one's letting you in on. And the truth is... there kind of is. And it's much simpler than you think.

Mobile website traffic is increasing and will not go down anytime soon. So the question is: how do you convert those visitors into leads?

The answer is most certainly not:

• Showing them a lightbox so big they have to scroll to find the opt-in or close button.
• Not showing them any opt-in forms at all.
• Shrinking your opt-in forms to fit smaller screens, making them difficult to read and impossible to fill out.

The real solution you need is to use mobile specific opt-in forms.

We recently released a new set of landing pages that were so focused on the absolute essentials that we called them "Atomic". They were very well received and you asked us for more, so we delivered more!

In this post, you'll get a quick tour of the new landing page set and we'll introduce the bonus content we've created this time around.

In this tutorial, we're building a call to action that you can add to any page - and that your visitors will not be able to ignore.

We're using Thrive Architect to create this design and, even though it's a short tutorial, you'll discover many of the unique features in this plugin. You'll see how those features work together to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Opening a link is only the beginning of what can happen when a visitor clicks on a button, text or image. 

There are so many more things that could occur. 

You could show them additional instructions, a light box, a video ...

This is actually very easy to do with Thrive Architect, but we understand that you might not have time to explore and discover exactly what's possible and how to go about it.

That's why we created this master post to show you some nifty things you can do that you probably didn’t even realize were possible.

With Thrive Architect, you can add custom color gradients to any element that has a background. You can even create gradients as overlays on top of images or background patterns.

In this tutorial, we'll take a quick tour through all of the gradient features. Then, we'll take a look at the dos and don'ts of using color gradients in web design, so that your results will loo pro.

We've released a new set of landing pages for Thrive Architect and they include a challenge for you, as well as a bonus template.
