How to Make a Thank You Page in WordPress (Easy Beginner’s Guide)

Do you want to learn how to make a Thank You Page in WordPress?

In this tutorial, we’ve made a step-by-step guide on exactly how to create one.

What Is a Thank You Page?

A Thank You Page can be a great place to send people after they complete your forms, so you can keep them engaged with your website.

This seemingly simple page can nurture leads and encourage them to become customers. It can also help cross-promote to current customers. You could:

• Offer a coupon code
• Redirect someone to your purchase funnel
• Collect email addresses in exchange for a free lead magnet (which you deliver on the Thank You Page).
