Joel Kansanback is a 30-year automotive F&I veteran, author, and industry advisor who has trained thousands of dealership professionals across the country. He needed a premium personal brand website to support his book launch, advisory services, and dealership training platform.
The Challenge:
Joel had decades of industry expertise but no centralized digital presence to showcase his authority. He needed a website that could drive book sales, attract dealership consulting clients, promote his training programs, and position him as a thought leader in the automotive F&I space.
Key Requirements:
Premium, professional design that reflects Joel's authority in the automotive industry
Dedicated book page with purchase CTAs and chapter previews
Advisory services section to attract dealership consulting clients
Training platform showcase for F&I professionals
Testimonials and social proof from industry peers
Fully responsive design for desktop and mobile
My Design Process:
I researched the automotive consulting and dealership training space to understand the audience's expectations. The design needed to feel authoritative and results-driven, appealing to dealership owners and F&I managers who value proven expertise. I focused on clean layouts, strong typography, and strategic CTAs that guide visitors toward booking consultations or purchasing the book.
