Build Better Website: The Reverse Engineer Method Revealed Reverse Engineer Framework 1.0 Create A Swipe File: Including Key Criteria

Create a Swipe File (Video)

Before you can create a list of websites to use as inspiration for your own design, it’s important to understand the nature and objective of your website. This means identifying whether it’s a landing page, sales page, opt-in page, webinar page, etc.

In the video above, I asked you to visualize your overall style. Why is that? The reason is for you to collect websites as inspirations that have a fairly similar style. It’s much easier to recreate and combine three dark-mode websites than to combine a variety of website styles altogether. This will be discussed in more detail in the next lesson.

1. AI Builder Limitation - Recreation Criteria

  • Recreate websites with minimal to no animation is recommended for website speed.
  • Try to avoid recreate slider section, accordian, carousell, table, or fancy section divider.
  • Recreate websites with basic layout only.

2. List of Inspirations (The Internet is your Playground)

  • Explore template marketplaces like Envato / Themeforest / Creativemarket.
  • Search for Websites Built Using Funnel Platform - Clickfunnels, GHL, Kajabi, Leadpages | Check with Builtwith chrome extension.
  • Ask ChatGPT to list a few websites made by {Funnel Platform}.
  • Assess the last 3 websites that you purchased from via FB Ads (exclude marketplace like Amazon, eBay.
  • Search for websites owned by digital marketing gurus or motivational speakers or subject matter experts in your niche.
  • Choose 2 websites/landing pages within your niche and 2 websites/landing pages outside of your niche.

3. Take Full Page screenshots

4. Mapping Using Canva (Whiteboard)

  • Mapping the sections
  • Tag the elements that you find appealing
Why should I plan my website using Canva? Why can't I just start building it right away?

This is just a suggestion. It’s totally fine to use any tool you like for pre-planning your website. However, this planning process really helps you visualize your site, especially when merging different websites together. Trust me, it can get quite messy without some planning!

Do I have to purchase 10Web hosting to implement the Reverse Engineer Method 1.0 ?

Not necessarily. Although the Reverse Engineer method requires you to use the AI Builder by 10Web, You can take advantage of the free trial that 10Web offers for 7 days. In our experience, the AI recreation process should not take more than 3 days. Then, you can easily transfer your design to your website hosted on a different hosting provider by referring to the ‘Transfer your Design’ topic found under Module 3. If you wish to use AI Builder for more than 7 days, you can definitely subscribe to their monthly plan.

Right now, you won’t see a place to put a coupon when you move from the free trial to the pro plan. But, don’t worry! Just reach out to the support team and they’ll help you use your coupon.

Kindly head over to our ‘Contact Us’ page and share with us what’s bothering you. We’re here to help.

The purpose of the reconstruction step is to fix any inaccuracies the AI builder might leave when recreating sections. I’ve noticed that, for other sales pages, the AI builder tends to have a hard time recreating the page. Hence, we use the reconstruction step. We add a new section below the one AI worked on, and then move the widgets into this new section. This way, it offers us a point of reference to match the intended design that we wanted even if the AI builder misses something.

I get it, it can be tricky, especially for beginners. That’s why I recommend trying out the grid layout or CSSGrid. Most of the time, design needs are box-shaped or grid-like. It makes things much easier! So, save the flexbox container for those occasional layouts that you just can’t create with a boxy design. 

When the AI builder recreates a page, it often places containers inside other containers – a process we call “nesting.” This can make finding which container holds your background image quite a challenge. But don’t worry, that’s exactly why we do the reconstruction; to create a much simpler layout. You can use the navigator to check how many containers have been created. This will make finding your background image a whole lot easier.

Sure thing! A base template is designed to help people from non-designer’s background establish their overall style, especially when they’re not experienced designers. Think of it as a starter kit for your website design. A base template usually includes around 60% of your site’s overall look. You can then pick up design elements such as color schemes or typography styles from the base template to get your own design started.

This is just a suggestion. It’s totally fine to use any tool you like for pre-planning your website. However, this planning process really helps you visualize your site, especially when merging different websites together. Trust me, it can get quite messy without some planning!

The AI builder is still relatively new and has its limitations. But here are few things that we can do:

  • Try again. Recreate the page once again.
  • Make certain you are recreating a page design which follows all the key criteria.
  • Try recreating a shorter landing page next time.
  • If it still doesn’t work. Don’t sweat it and reach out to the support team. They can give clarification to you.
 

Additionally, there’s no need to stress about it, as we’re going to reconstruct the sections during the next step.

  4. Which is the difference between the 2 services that they provide, one is PAGE SPEED BOOSTER and the other one is PLATFORM, how to know which we should pick.

    1. Hi Raul, good question. Page Speed Booster is for those who host their WordPress website with another hosting provider, while the platform itself includes hosting and Page Speed Booster as part of a single package in their offerings.If you wanted to use the AI builder, you should opt for the platform package 🙂
