How We Designed a High-Converting YouTube Sponsorship Homepage for Kevin Builds
When Kevin from Modern Self Reliance asked us to create his very first website, the goal wasn’t just to check the “have a website” box.
It was to build a powerful, purpose-driven homepage that would help him land real sponsorship deals.
With nearly 400,000 YouTube subscribers, hundreds of rugged build videos, and a fiercely loyal audience, Kevin’s channel already delivers enormous value. But without a professional home online, gear brands had nowhere to engage with him at the decision-making level.
So we created this mockup: a sponsorship-focused homepage design that blends media kit clarity with brand-partner strategy — built to attract, impress, and convert.
⚠️ Important: What you’re seeing here is the design draft we’re submitting to Kevin for approval — not the final live site. The photos feature a stand-in model, not Kevin himself, and all visuals are designed to showcase our recommended layout and messaging direction.
This post walks through every section of the proposed site — from headline hook to sponsorship tiers — and explains the thinking behind each one.
Let’s dive in.
🎯 The Hook: Sponsorship-Focused Hero Section
The hero section is where first impressions are made — and this one was designed with sponsorship conversion in mind.
Instead of just showcasing Kevin’s content, the headline directly targets brand reps: “Your Brand in Front of 394K+ DIY Fanatics Who Actually Watch to the End.” This isn’t fluff — it’s positioning Kevin’s channel as a high-retention, influence-driven space brands can trust.
Two clear CTAs — “Book a Sponsorship Call” and “Download the Media Kit” — are designed for immediate action. Whether a brand is browsing or ready to buy, the hero section meets them where they are.
Visually, we leaned into the rustic, off-grid aesthetic that defines Kevin’s channel — powerful imagery, earthy tones, and a raw, real-world vibe that speaks to authenticity.
🙋♂️ Who I Am — Trust in 15 Seconds
Sponsors don’t just invest in reach — they invest in people. This section gives potential partners a quick, compelling overview of who Kevin is, what he builds, and why his audience pays attention.
Positioned early in the page, this block features a friendly headshot, a direct personal message from Kevin, and a compact stats panel showing:
- 394K+ subscribers
- 235+ published videos
- 50M+ lifetime views
It’s designed to build trust quickly — within just a few scrolls — using data and tone to reinforce authenticity and brand alignment. The tone stays humble, but confident: Kevin’s not selling himself — he’s just showing what he’s already built.
🤝 Why Brands Partner With Me
This section is all about conversion logic. It breaks down Kevin’s sponsorship offerings into two columns: “What I Offer” and “Why It Works.” The goal is to speak directly to brand decision-makers who want more than reach — they want results.
Each offering is paired with a clear brand-facing benefit:
- Product placement → Feels native and credible
- On-screen + verbal mentions → Improves brand recall
- Gear tested in real builds → Creates true product validation
- Evergreen visibility → Content keeps generating traffic long after launch
- Audience trust → High likelihood of action (not just attention)
- Content usage rights → Brands can reuse footage in ads or promotions
It’s a clean, high-clarity layout with strategic messaging — made to quickly convince potential sponsors that working with Kevin isn’t just an influencer play... it’s a real brand partnership.
🏷️ Brands That Fit Kevin's Channel
This section visually conveys brand alignment and aspirational positioning. It shows the types of companies Kevin’s audience already trusts and interacts with — rugged, practical, and built for real-world use.
These logos are placeholders only, carefully chosen to reflect the style and category of brands that align well with Kevin’s off-grid, tool-driven content. Once Kevin confirms partnerships or past collaborations, we’ll update this section with his actual sponsor logos.
Why does this work? Because even a logo grid of potential fits builds instant recognition and credibility. It’s a quick way to help new sponsors feel like they’re in good company — even before the first conversation.
📬 Let’s Talk Sponsorship
The best sponsorship sites make it easy to get in touch — and this section does just that. No fluff. No friction. Just a clear next step.
Sponsors who are ready to start a conversation can use the prominent "Email Me" button to reach out directly. This keeps the process fast and personal, perfect for brand reps who want to move quickly.
As the project evolves, we’ll likely expand this section to include a more advanced inquiry form or Calendly link, but for version one, this simple direct-connect layout does the job.
📦 Sponsorship Options Built for Brands
This section clearly presents four levels of sponsorship opportunities, helping brand partners quickly see what they get — and where they fit.
Each package is designed to serve different business needs:
- Partner: A simple mention and link — great for affiliates and niche brands.
- Showcase: Gear demonstration in-context — perfect for tools and off-grid products.
- Integrated: Full product feature + branding rights — ideal for launches or conversions.
- Exclusive Series: Multi-video brand partnership with repurposing rights — designed for large campaigns.
We’ve intentionally designed this section to be both visual and easy to compare. It takes the guesswork out of the brand’s next move — which is exactly what drives conversions.
🚀 Ready to Equip Your Brand’s Next Big Win?
With this homepage design, Kevin isn’t just putting his name online — he’s opening the door to real, scalable brand partnerships. And this final call to action brings that opportunity to life.
Sponsors can choose between two clear actions:
- Book a Discovery Call to discuss partnership fit
- Download the Media Kit for full package and audience details
The layout is intentionally clean and conversion-focused — no distractions, just a direct invitation to connect. Whether they’re ready to book today or want to review the offer in detail, brands have everything they need to say yes.
✅ Final Thoughts: Real Design, Real Strategy — Real Results Coming Soon
What you’ve seen here is a strategic homepage design concept — created from the ground up to help Kevin Builds turn brand interest into real, lasting sponsorships.
Important Note: The person featured in the mockups is not Kevin. We’ve used a stand-in model to visualize layout, tone, and brand fit. Once Kevin approves the final design direction, we’ll update all photography and bio elements to feature Kevin himself.
For Kevin, this new site represents a major opportunity: a digital home that doesn’t just showcase his content — it sells his influence, validates his audience, and positions him as a serious partner for tool companies and gear brands.
And if you're a content creator, YouTuber, or brand looking to build a site that does more than look good — one that actually helps you grow — we’d love to talk.
