UX & Conversion Findings
Page-by-page analysis with visual comparisons against top Health & Wellness stores
Concern-Based Navigation Missing — Shoppers Must Browse All Products to Find What They Need
Observations
- The mobile hamburger menu shows: SHOP, CUSTOM WELLNESS, LEARN, ABOUT, SAY HI!, LOGIN — 'SHOP' leads to a product grid with no category organization by health concern
- Homepage body has concern tiles (Mobility & Energy, Joints Bones & Mobility, Skin Hair & Nails, Immune Health) as images, but these are not in the primary navigation — they're buried after scrolling past the hero
- A new visitor looking for 'brain health' or 'joint support' must either use search or browse all 15 products — no navigational shortcut by concern exists
- 70% of US H&W stores (Onnit, Moon Juice, Seed) surface concern categories as top-level nav items: 'Cognition & Focus', 'Sleep & Recovery', 'Gut Health'
Recommendations
- Replace the generic 'SHOP' nav item with concern-based sub-categories: 'Skin, Hair & Nails', 'Joints & Bones', 'Immune Health', 'Cognition & Brain', 'Energy & Mobility' — each linking to a filtered collection
- Add a 'Shop by Concern' section in the hamburger menu as a horizontal icon-grid (the homepage tiles already exist — port them into the nav)
- Consider 'CUSTOMIZE YOUR HEALTH' (already in announcement bar) as a primary nav link — the quiz is a strong personalization entry point that should be easier to discover
No Clinical Study References or Evidence-Based Claims on Homepage
Observations
- Homepage quality claims are unsubstantiated marketing copy: 'Science backed, Mother Nature approved', 'The best ingredients, selectively sourced' — no clinical references, no study citations, no specific efficacy numbers
- The homepage trust icons say 'Over 4,500 5 Star Reviews' and 'Selectively-Sourced Ingredients' but no quantified efficacy claims (e.g., '93% saw results', 'reduce cortisol by 24%', '4 Human Clinical Studies')
- 60% of US H&W stores cite clinical studies on the homepage (Ritual: '4 Human Clinical Studies', Seed: 'View Clinical Trials', Moon Juice: 'reduce cortisol by 24%*')
- US supplement shoppers are increasingly evidence-driven — clinical references directly convert skeptical first-time buyers in the $40–$50 price bracket
Recommendations
- Add a 'Backed by Science' section with 2–3 specific clinical stats per hero product: 'Hydrolyzed collagen shown to improve skin elasticity in 8 weeks*' with study footnotes
- Surface the 4,500+ review count more prominently as a social proof metric — currently shown as a small icon line, not as a hero trust statement
- Add a 'As Seen In' or press strip if Amandean has media coverage — the homepage currently has no third-party credibility signals beyond customer reviews
No Filter Bar on Collection Pages — Shoppers Cannot Narrow 15+ Products
Observations
- The All Products collection page shows all 15 products in a grid with no filter UI, no sort dropdown, and no way to narrow by health concern, format (powder/capsule/liquid), price, or certification
- DOM inspection returned zero filter-related elements (no [class*='filter'], [class*='sort'], or related controls anywhere on the page)
- Users shopping for a specific need (e.g., 'joint support', 'vegan', 'under $40') must manually browse all cards with no discovery assistance
- 70% of US H&W stores provide concern-based filtering (e.g., Onnit: 'Cognition & Focus', 'Sleep Mood & Stress', 'Gut Health', 'Fitness') directly on collection pages
Recommendations
- Add a filter bar with at minimum: Health Concern (Skin & Hair, Joints & Bones, Immune, Cognition, Energy), Format (Powder, Capsules, Liquid, Packets), Price range slider
- Add a Sort dropdown: Best Sellers, Price Low-High, Most Reviewed, Newest — this alone significantly improves discovery for returning visitors
- Use Shopify's native filtering with collection metafields or a filter app (Boost Commerce, Searchanise) — Amandean's catalog is small enough that native filtering handles it well
No Subscription Pricing on Collection Cards — Shoppers See Higher Price at Discovery Stage
Observations
- Collection cards show only one-time purchase price (e.g., $47.95 ~~$54.95~~) — no subscription price is shown at the collection/discovery stage
- A shopper comparing Amandean's Marine Collagen at $47.95 against a competitor showing '$38/mo subscribe' perceives the competitor as better value before even clicking through
- 100% of US H&W stores (Moon Juice, Seed, Athletic Greens) display 'From $X.XX/mo' or 'Subscribe from $X.XX' on collection cards per benchmark data
- Recharge subscription infrastructure is already live — the collection card pricing update is a theme-level change, not a new app install
Recommendations
- Show subscription price on collection cards: 'From $43.16/mo with Subscribe & Save' as a secondary price line below the one-time price
- Add a small 'SUBSCRIBE & SAVE 10%' tag/pill on subscribable product cards to signal the option exists before the PDP click
- Alternatively, display the subscribe price as the primary price with 'or $47.95 one-time' as secondary — this is the approach all benchmarked US stores use
No Variant/Weight Indicators on Collection Cards — Shoppers Discover Sizes Only After Click-Through
Observations
- Collection cards show product image, title, star ratings, and sale price — but no indication of available sizes, weights, or variants (e.g., '500g / 1kg' for Collagen Peptides, 'Softgels / Powder' for Omega-3)
- The Vegan Omega-3 card shows 'from $23.95' indicating multiple variants exist, but no size indicators or format swatches are visible
- Shoppers interested in a specific size must click into every PDP to discover options — increasing bounce rate from the collection page
- Moon Juice and Onnit surface size/format options on collection cards: 'Mini / Standard / Value' size pills or 'From $X' with variant count
Recommendations
- Add size/weight pills below the price on collection cards for multi-variant products: '500g | 1kg' for powders, '60 caps | 90 caps' for capsules
- Use Shopify's native variant display on collection cards or a lightweight variant-on-hover app — this requires minimal theme development
- At minimum, show 'X sizes available' as a text indicator on multi-variant cards to signal discovery value without full swatch rendering
Sticky Add-to-Cart Bar Missing — Mobile Users Lose Purchase Access Mid-Scroll
Observations
- On mobile (375px), scrolling past the inline ATC button leaves no fixed CTA at the bottom of the screen — the purchase action is completely inaccessible from any scroll position below the fold
- The PDP is content-heavy: image gallery, benefits icons, accordions, YouTube video, 'Frequently Bought Together' bundle — users scroll deeply but have no persistent way to purchase
- DOM inspection confirmed zero fixed/sticky ATC elements — only the site header is fixed
Recommendations
- Add a sticky bottom bar that appears when the inline ATC button scrolls out of view, containing product name, active price ($43.16 subscribe / $47.95 one-time), and a full-width 'Add to Cart' button
- Conditionally show/hide: sticky bar appears when ATC is above viewport, hides when ATC is visible — preventing duplicate CTAs
- Include the subscribe/one-time toggle in the sticky bar so users can switch purchase type without scrolling back up
No Certification Badges Near ATC — Trust Gap at the Moment of Purchase
Observations
- The ATC zone (quantity selector → Add to Cart → Deliver to zipcode) contains zero trust or certification indicators — no Non-GMO badge, no cGMP badge, no 3rd-Party Lab Tested badge, no Plastic Neutral badge
- Amandean has legitimate certifications (cGMP, Non-GMO, 3rd-Party Tested) displayed only on the homepage icons section — never surfaced at the point of purchase
- Immediately below the ATC button is the 'Frequently Bought Together' bundle — trust reinforcement is completely absent from the purchase decision zone
- 80% of US Health & Wellness stores display ≥4 certification badges near the ATC button (benchmark: Wellbeing Nutrition, Moon Juice, Onnit)
Recommendations
- Add a 4–6 badge strip between the 'Add to Cart' button and 'Deliver to' widget: Non-GMO | cGMP Certified | 3rd-Party Lab Tested | Plastic Neutral | Wild-Caught | No Additives
- Use icon + text format (not text-only) — iconographic badges are required for the standard to count per the benchmark
- Consider adding HSA/FSA eligible badge if applicable — 20% of US H&W stores now display this and it directly removes a price-sensitivity barrier
Subscription Defaulting to One-Time Purchase Loses 15–30% Recurring Revenue
Observations
- The purchase selector on PDP shows 'One-time purchase $47.95' as the selected/highlighted option and 'Subscribe & Save 10% $43.16' as unselected — the higher-friction, lower-LTV option is the default
- 100% of US Health & Wellness stores audited pre-select the subscription option by default (Seed, Ritual, Athletic Greens, Onnit, Moon Juice)
- Subscription infrastructure (Recharge) is already installed and functional — this is a single configuration change with immediate LTV impact
- A user who adds to cart without noticing the subscription tab is locked into a one-time purchase — Amandean loses the auto-replenish revenue
Recommendations
- Switch the default selected state of the Recharge widget to 'Subscribe & Save 10%' — this is a single setting change in the Recharge dashboard
- Add social proof to the subscription option: 'Most popular • Cancel anytime' below the subscribe tab to reduce commitment anxiety
- Show the long-term savings calculation: 'Save $4.79 per order, $57.48/year' to make the subscription value tangible
Supplement Facts Panel Is Buried Plain Text — Not a Structured Nutrition Table
Observations
- The 'Ingredients' accordion reveals serving size and nutrient data as a single comma-separated prose paragraph: 'Serving Size: 10 grams, Servings per Container: 50, Calories: 45g, Protein: 9g, Sodium: 20mg, Hydrolyzed Fish Collagen: 10g' — no table, no grid
- There is no % Daily Value column, no visual separation between nutrients, and no official supplement facts formatting — failing the FDA-standard layout that health-conscious US shoppers expect
- 90% of US H&W stores provide structured supplement facts panels (Ritual, Seed, Onnit, Moon Juice all use table or grid formats)
- All accordions on the PDP are collapsed by default — even the unstructured text is hidden until the user actively taps 'Ingredients'
Recommendations
- Replace the plain-text ingredients accordion with an HTML supplement facts table: columns for Ingredient Name, Amount per Serving, % DV — styled to match the FDA supplement facts panel format
- Pre-expand the 'Ingredients' accordion by default (or make it the first open section) so supplement facts are visible without a tap
- Add a separate 'Supplement Facts' image upload (actual label photo) alongside the HTML table for regulatory completeness and visual credibility
All PDP Accordions Collapsed by Default — Key Product Info Hidden Behind Taps
Observations
- All 5 accordion sections ('What is Marine Collagen?', 'What are the benefits?', 'Ingredients', 'How do you use it?', 'Disclaimer') are collapsed with '+' icons — no content is visible below the benefits icons without user interaction
- The pass criterion requires at least one section expanded by default to guide users to the most important information first
- Moon Juice, The Nue Co., and Onnit all pre-expand 'Benefits' or 'How To Use' by default, making the page scannable
- Users on mobile who don't tap accordions leave without seeing dosage instructions, ingredients, or benefit details — key purchase drivers
Recommendations
- Pre-expand 'What are the benefits?' as the default-open section — this is the highest-intent content for a first-time visitor
- Keep 'Ingredients' and 'How do you use it?' collapsed but visually indicate they're expandable — users who need deeper validation can self-select
- Consider a progressive disclosure pattern: show first 2 lines of each section with 'Read more' — prevents the 'all collapsed' problem without overwhelming the page
No HSA/FSA Eligible Badge — Missing a Key US Purchase Motivator
Observations
- No HSA/FSA eligible badge appears anywhere on the PDP — not near the price, not in the ATC zone, not in the accordion sections
- If Amandean's supplements qualify for HSA/FSA (which hydrolyzed collagen and omega-3s may based on use case), this is a missed conversion lever — 20% of US H&W stores display this badge
- Ritual and Onnit both display 'HSA/FSA Eligible — Save an average of 30%' near the price, directly reducing the effective price barrier for US buyers
- US consumers with HSA/FSA accounts actively seek out eligible supplements and use eligibility as a tiebreaker between comparable products
Recommendations
- Verify eligibility of each SKU with an HSA/FSA eligibility verification service (e.g., Truemed, FSA Store partnership) — if eligible, add the badge immediately
- Display 'HSA/FSA Eligible' as a badge pill near the subscription/one-time selector — position it where it reinforces the price perception alongside the subscription savings
- Add 'Pay with HSA/FSA' as an informational callout in the ATC zone with a small tooltip explaining how to use HSA/FSA cards at checkout
No Urgency Triggers in Cart — Items Sit With No Time Pressure to Complete Purchase
Observations
- The cart page and cart drawer show item, quantity, subtotal, and checkout button — zero urgency elements: no 'reserved for X minutes' timer, no 'X left in stock' indicator, no same-day dispatch countdown
- Items remain in cart indefinitely with no time pressure — health supplements have high cart abandonment (industry avg 70–75%) and urgency elements directly address indecision
- Onnit, Moon Juice, and The Nue Co. all use stock scarcity ('Only 3 left') or dispatch urgency ('Order within 2h 14m for same-day ship') as standard cart elements
- The cart page shows $7.00 savings and a clean checkout — the infrastructure for messaging is there, urgency copy is missing
Recommendations
- Add a per-line-item stock counter for products with limited inventory: 'Only 8 left in stock — order soon'
- Add a same-day dispatch countdown in the cart summary: 'Order within 3h 22m for same-day fulfillment' — resets daily at cutoff time
- Alternatively, add a simple 'Cart reserved for 15 minutes' progress bar timer near the checkout button to create gentle time pressure
Free Shipping Threshold Has No Progress Bar — Cart Misses Upsell Nudge
Observations
- Cart shows 'Free expedited shipping over $75' as a static text line — no visual progress bar showing how close the order is to the threshold
- A customer with $47.95 in cart is $27.05 away from free shipping — a well-placed progress bar ('Add $27.05 more to unlock free expedited shipping') reliably increases AOV by 15–25%
- 60% of US H&W stores use progress bars with product suggestions to bridge the shipping gap (Moon Juice, Onnit use this pattern in cart drawer)
- Amandean's announcement bar already communicates the $75 threshold — the cart should reinforce it with a visual and a cross-sell nudge
Recommendations
- Add a visual progress bar at the top of the cart: '[==== ] $27.05 more for FREE expedited shipping' — updates dynamically as cart value changes
- Pair the progress bar with a 1–2 product suggestion strip: 'Popular add-ons to unlock free shipping' showing $20–$30 items (Magnesium, Vitamin C)
- Use Rebuy (already installed) to power the 'add to unlock free shipping' cross-sell widget — no new app needed
