A funnel is a series of connected pages designed to guide a visitor toward a single goal — capturing a lead, registering for an event, or completing a purchase. Unlike a website (which visitors navigate freely), a funnel controls the path: one page leads to the next, keeping visitors focused on the conversion action.
Creating a funnel article

Why this matters

The difference between a website and a funnel is focus. A website gives visitors options — they can explore, leave, get distracted, and come back later. A funnel removes every distraction and presents one clear action. Visitors who reach a well-built funnel either convert or they leave — there is no browsing. This focus is what makes funnels consistently outperform general websites for lead capture and sales. Common funnel types include:
  • Lead capture pages (opt-in form + thank-you page)
  • Sales pages with order forms
  • Webinar registration pages
  • Free offer delivery pages

How to create a funnel

1

Navigate to Funnels

Go to Sites > Funnels and click New Funnel.
Funnels section navigation
2

Name your funnel

Give the funnel a clear internal name — for example, “Free Guide Opt-In” or “Discovery Call Funnel.” This name is for internal organization only. Visitors never see it.
3

Add funnel steps

Each funnel consists of one or more steps (pages). Click Add Step to add your first page. Common step types:
  • Opt-in Page: Captures contact details via a form
  • Sales Page: Presents your offer with a call to action
  • Order Form: Collects payment information
  • Thank You Page: Confirms the action and delivers next steps

Design each page

Click a step to open the page builder. Use drag-and-drop to add and arrange elements:
  • Sections and columns — define the layout structure
  • Text and headline blocks — your copy
  • Images and videos — visual content from your media library
  • Forms — lead capture or order forms
  • Buttons — calls to action that advance visitors to the next step
Keep funnel pages focused on a single action. Remove the navigation menu, hide unrelated links, and make the call-to-action button the most visually prominent element on the page.
5

Connect pages together

For each page, configure what happens after the visitor completes the action. Under the step settings, set the Next Step or redirect URL to move the visitor forward in the funnel.
6

Configure form automation

If your funnel includes a form, connect it to a workflow. When a visitor submits the form, the workflow can instantly:
  • Add a tag
  • Send a confirmation email or SMS
  • Enroll the contact in a nurture sequence
  • Notify a team member
7

Set your domain

Under Settings, assign your funnel to a domain or subdomain — for example, offers.yourdomain.com. See the Add a Domain or Subdomain guide if your domain is not yet connected.

Publish and share

Toggle the funnel to Published. Share the URL of your first funnel step — in emails, social posts, ads, or wherever you drive traffic.

Key points

Use a funnel when you want visitors to follow a specific path toward one goal — sign up, buy, or book. Use a website when you want visitors to browse multiple pages freely — homepage, about, services, contact. Both use the same builder and can share a domain.
The builder uses a section-based layout. Each section contains rows and columns, and columns contain individual elements — text, image, button, form, etc. Drag elements from the left panel onto the canvas, then click to configure each element’s settings.
All pages built in the funnel builder are mobile-responsive by default. Use the mobile preview toggle in the builder to check and adjust how your page looks on smaller screens.
You can create variant pages within a funnel step to run A/B tests. The platform splits traffic between variants so you can identify which version converts better over time.
Each funnel step tracks visits, opt-ins, and conversion rate. View stats in the funnel dashboard to identify which steps are performing well and where visitors are dropping off.
