Then you look at your <strong>GoHighLevel (GHL)<\/strong> funnel, and it feels&#8230; off. It looks like a template. It looks &#8220;boxy.&#8221; In short, it looks cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a prospect lands on a &#8220;cheap-looking&#8221; page, their brain subconsciously lowers the value of your offer. If you want to charge premium prices, you cannot have a bargain-bin website. In this guide, we\u2019ll identify the five main reasons your funnel is hurting your brand and how to use <strong>GHL CSS<\/strong> to fix them in under 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns148_4375bd-b2{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns148_4375bd-b2 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns148_4375bd-b2 .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns148_4375bd-b2 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns148_4375bd-b2 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns148_4375bd-b2 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns148_4375bd-b2 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns148_4375bd-b2 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns148_4375bd-b2 .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns148_4375bd-b2\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn148_9e4dc0-82.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn148_9e4dc0-82.kb-button{color:var(--global-palette2, #2B6CB0);border-top-left-radius:10px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-top-color:#cc66ff;border-top-style:solid;border-right-color:#cc66ff;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#cc66ff;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-color:#cc66ff;border-left-style:solid;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn148_9e4dc0-82.kb-button{border-top-color:#cc66ff;border-top-style:solid;border-right-color:#cc66ff;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#cc66ff;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-color:#cc66ff;border-left-style:solid;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn148_9e4dc0-82.kb-button{border-top-color:#cc66ff;border-top-style:solid;border-right-color:#cc66ff;border-right-style:solid;border-bottom-color:#cc66ff;border-bottom-style:solid;border-left-color:#cc66ff;border-left-style:solid;}}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn148_9e4dc0-82 kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-full kb-btn-global-outline  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/link.leadsflex.com\/schedule-quickcall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Get a Free Custom Growth Plan Call<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The &#8220;Default Gray&#8221; Syndrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GHL templates often use a standard gray border or background for sections. This is the #1 sign of an amateur build. High-end brands use &#8220;Off-Whites&#8221; or custom brand-specific grays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fix:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Change your section backgrounds to a very light brand tint. Instead of <code>#cccccc<\/code>, try a soft, modern color that matches your brand identity. You can find more tips on this in our guide on .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read this: <a href=\"https:\/\/ghlcss.com\/blog\/ghl-custom-css-for-non-coders-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GHL Custom CSS for Non-Coders<\/a>: The Ultimate No-Fear Guide (2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clashing Typography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many coaches use too many different fonts, or worse, they use the default system fonts (Arial, Times New Roman). This makes the text look like an unformatted Word document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fix:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Limit yourself to two fonts. Use a bold, unique font for your headlines and a clean, readable font for your body text. If the standard GHL list isn&#8217;t enough, follow our to import Google Fonts that scream &#8220;Authority.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Boxy&#8221; Buttons and Forms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard GHL elements are square and flat. In 2026, premium design is about soft edges, subtle shadows, and interactive depth. Square buttons look like they were designed in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fix:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Add rounded corners and a soft shadow to your buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more advanced button tricks, see our .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lack of White Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheap funnels try to cram as much information as possible into a small space. This creates a &#8220;cluttered&#8221; feeling that overwhelms the visitor. Professional design uses &#8220;White Space&#8221; (or negative space) to guide the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fix:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Increase the padding in your sections. Give your headlines room to breathe. Use our to target the <code>.inner<\/code> class and add at least 80px of padding to the top and bottom of your main sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generic Form Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing says &#8220;I\u2019m using a template&#8221; like a standard white form with gray borders. Your lead capture is the most important part of your page\u2014it should look like a custom-designed experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fix:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use to give your forms a modern, &#8220;frosted glass&#8221; look. This makes the form feel like a premium tool rather than a chore to fill out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design Comparison: Cheap vs. Premium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Element<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>The &#8220;Cheap&#8221; Look<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>The &#8220;Premium&#8221; Look<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Colors<\/strong><\/td><td>Default Primary Colors<\/td><td>Custom Brand Palettes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Shadows<\/strong><\/td><td>None or Heavy Black<\/td><td>Soft, Diffused &#8220;Ambient&#8221; Shadows<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Borders<\/strong><\/td><td>Hard 90-degree Corners<\/td><td>Smooth 8px to 50px Curves<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fonts<\/strong><\/td><td>Arial \/ Roboto<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Buttons<\/strong><\/td><td>Flat and Static<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 20-Minute &#8220;GHL Facelift&#8221; Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are in a rush, follow these three steps to immediately de-cheapen your funnel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Round Everything:<\/strong> Add <code>border-radius: 12px !important;<\/code> to your sections, rows, and buttons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fix Your Headline:<\/strong> Increase the <code>letter-spacing<\/code> and <code>line-height<\/code> so it doesn&#8217;t look like a block of text.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Soften the Shadows:<\/strong> Change any hard black shadows to a light <code>rgba(0,0,0,0.05)<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Move Beyond DIY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve tried these fixes and your funnel still doesn&#8217;t feel like a &#8220;Category King,&#8221; it might be time for a professional touch.
