Squarespace Website and Business Funnel For Beer Expert & Course Creator

Modern-looking and Masculine Website for Beer Connoisseur

Chris Cohen is a San Francisco-based beer geek. He's one of just 149 Advanced Cicerones®, a National BJCP judge, and is the co-founder and a current Board Member of the SF Homebrewers Guild, San Francisco's main homebrew club. In 2016 he opened one of San Francisco's best beer bars - Old Devil Moon

Chris is known in the beer industry as one of the first experts who created the guides to prepare for the Cicerone exams (an analog to sommelier certification, but in the beer world).

​​He launched the Beer Scholar website in 2014 to help aspiring beer geeks avoid the preparation pitfalls he faced. Thousands have used his Beer Scholar guides to crush the Cicerone exams in the decade since. 

Chris came to us with a request to redesign his website as well as help him launch an email funnel and set up all the necessary automations to sell online courses.

We created a modern-looking and masculine website for Beer Scholar, featuring warm photography, muted color palette, and stand-out typography. We also helped Chris with website copywriting: We start each project by creating a black and white wireframe to give our clients a copywriting fill-in-the-blanks “template” of sorts.

We also helped Chris style the Teachable platform for his new courses and set up a complex email funnel that involves multiple tools, such as Squarespace, Zapier, Mailchimp, and Deadline Funnel. We set up the automatic freebie delivery funnel, onboarding flows, and deadline-enabled offers. 

The resulting website is an automated business machine that is making sales on autopilot.

It was a really fun project to work on - the first project where we handled not just the creative part, but the business automation part as well. It is astonishing to see how all the moving parts work together and bring results to our clients.

HERE’S WHAT CHRIS SAID ABOUT WORKING WITH US:

“I already had a successful online course, but I knew it could do so much better with an up-to-date website and sales automations linking Squarespace, Teachable, and MailChimp using Zapier and other tools. Finding a team that knew how to do all that proved to be a challenge, until I ran across Olga & Roman’s Applet Studio website. Working with them has been a pleasure. They built a new website and created a variety of sales automations for me – I’ve seen an immediate bump in sales. Now, instead of messing around endlessly with the backend tech, I can focus on what I want to do – create content. As I grow my business, I’ll definitely hire Applet Studio again and again to help me build new pages, features, and automated complexity into my sales and email systems. Big thanks to Ogla for being great to work with! I highly recommend Applet Studio to any online course creators out there who are ready to grow but are frustrated by the tech involved.”
