Create Your GOE
The home of the book Create Your Garden of Eden and its GOE system for building a purposeful life, with ebook and shop.
About the project
Create Your GOE promotes the book Create Your Garden of Eden and the GOE system for finding purpose and building a fulfilling life. The site offers the ebook, introduces the author and includes a shop and blog.
The challenge
Create Your GOE is the home of Elizabeth Mannette's book Create Your Garden of Eden and her GOE system, a faith-based approach to finding purpose and building a life plan. It speaks to people who have checked all the right boxes in life and still feel empty, and the site had to reach that reader personally.
It also has to do the work of a book launch: get the ebook into readers' hands, introduce the author, and support the wider programme with a shop and a blog.
The solution
I built the site as a long-form sales page led by a single question: have you checked all the right boxes in life, but still feel empty? Beside it, the book cover and a clear Get the Book panel invite visitors to download the ebook and start straight away.
Below the fold, a personal letter from the author, Dear Friend, speaks to the reader directly and explains the promise of the book, next to her photograph. The menu leads on to the chapters, the GOE system, the author's story, a shop and the blog, and the site sits behind Cloudflare's security and performance layer.
