Section Strategy · read as flows

Every page is a journey, not a list of sections.

This rewrites the old section matrix as plain flows. Each page is laid out the way a real visitor moves through it: what they need first, what earns trust, what proves the claim, and what finally closes. Read it top to bottom like a memo.

Thunder Honey · Daylight Home · PDP · Science · About 8 competitors analysed No live page changed

01  The starting point

Four pages, four different jobs.

The home page, the product page, the science page and the about page each meet a visitor at a different point in their journey, so they should not carry the same content in the same order. The home page greets a discovery visitor from an article or a brand search who needs to understand what this is and trust it. The product (PDP) page meets a warmer visitor from a persona landing page or a listicle who is comparing and deciding, so it leads with the buy box and a selling-point gallery, then a few tight sections close the sale. This is the page we model on MUD\WTR, the gold-standard product page where the gallery carries most of the pitch. The science page is the single home for all the evidence, where anyone who wants proof can go deep. The about page carries the brand story and the people. When each page knows its one job, nothing has to be a copy of everything else.

Guiding principle, read first: the whole job of this document is to RELOCATE and REWORD sections, not redesign them. Keep the section designs we have already built. We only move them to the page where they do their job, change the copy and headlines, and de-dupe where the same content is told twice on one page. No section needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Every recommendation below is a move, a rename, or a de-dupe, never a new design.

02  The field

How the best brands flow.

Eight leading wellness brands, each captured full-page on home and product. Seven are international category leaders; the eighth, Nuli, is a Swedish mushroom-coffee rival scaling on ads right now, so it is the closest read on our own market. Read each one as a sequence and the pattern is unmistakable: short, brand-first home pages, and lean, buy-first product pages. The screenshots are inline so you can see the rhythm, not just read it.

Nuli · Mushroom Brew (Sweden, scaling now)

nuli.se · by Nutrinor · "fokus utan oro och rastloshet" (focus without worry and restlessness)

This is the most directly relevant competitor in the set: a Swedish mushroom-coffee alternative, same category as us, actively scaling on paid social right now. They sell a single pouch and run a very simple generic site. The site is not where the hard selling happens. The persuasion lives in the ads and in a long listicle / advertorial the ads point to. The simple site is just the calm, trustworthy place to land and buy once the advertorial has done the convincing. It is the RYZE / MUD\WTR "simple-site" model, executed in Swedish.

  2. Hard-truth intro — "Den harda sanningen: kaffe maskerar trotthet" (the hard truth: coffee masks fatigue)
  3. 10 numbered reasons — each one a captioned lifestyle photo + a short paragraph: long-lasting energy, sharper focus, ready in seconds, only 0.4g sugar, less stress, immune support, saves money, an upgrade to a habit you already have, risk-free trial
  4. Close — "Du ar bara ett steg fran en battre morgonrutin" + "Sackad fran Sverige" badge + "Spara 25% i dag" + "Bestall nu"
Takeaway: Nuli keeps the generic site clean and simple (a pouch, a buy box, a short flow) and pushes all the heavy persuasion into the listicle / advertorial + the ads. They run it in Swedish only. Two things to steal directly: the simple-site discipline, and the "Hur dricker man det?" versatility section (latte / coffee-or-tea / shake or smoothie) instead of a dry "how it works" step list.

The common winning pattern

Strip away the brand styling and all seven run the same shape:

  • Short, brand-first home pages — roughly 6 to 8 sections. Hook, then trust, then a 3-benefit triplet, then one signature proof, then product discovery, then close. None of them re-teach the whole science library on the home page.
  • Lean, buy-first product pages — the buy box is always at the very top, followed by proof, a tight differentiator (ingredients-as-proof, a results timeline, or a comparison), then reviews, then close. The product page confirms and closes; it does not re-run the home page.
  • One ownable proof per brand — AG1's "15 years of research", Seed's "survives digestion", Magic Mind's "more effective absorption". A single memorable reason-to-believe carries the brand.
  • Intentional repeatsSeed and IM8 deliberately repeat their "promise"/guarantee and their FAQ across pages. This is not duplication-for-its-own-sake. The same reassurance is offered again at the moment a visitor on a different journey needs it. That is the model we should copy, not the current state where our product page is the home page with a cart bolted on top.
  • The simple-site + listicle-funnel modelNuli (and the RYZE / MUD\WTR playbook it copies) keeps the generic site deliberately clean and lets the ads + a per-avatar listicle do the heavy selling. The site is the calm place to land and buy; the advertorial is where the visitor gets convinced. For us that means the cleaner the generic site gets, the more the persuasion has to live in our avatar listicles. The two moves are one strategy.

03  Our build

Recommended HOME flow.

8 sections, brand-first.

A discovery visitor needs to understand the idea, trust it, see our two signature proofs, and feel the ritual. Down from 15 sections today. Source files: home.html.

  1. Hero — "Find your flow" The hook. One promise in three seconds: caffeine-free cacao, 11 actives, full clinical doses. Keep the video. This is the first thing a discovery visitor needs, what is this and why care. (s-hero)
  2. Section 2 — "The Cup" What it is and how it feels. The calm-energy story, the dose, the actives, told as the cinematic cup beat. This is where a skimmer "gets it" emotionally before any chart. (s-cup / s2)
  3. Formulated for function What is actually in it, at a glance. Moved here from the product page so the home page can answer "what's in the cup" right after it has shown what the cup feels like. (was s-formulated on PDP)
  4. Energy graph Our signature proof. "Caffeine borrows energy. Thunder Honey builds it." No spike, no crash. This is the most ownable, most memorable thing we can show, so it belongs on the brand page. (s-energy)
  5. Ingredient carousel Credibility, as a taster. Show the hero actives with their doses, then link out with "Explore all 11 ingredients" to the Science page. Discovery, not the whole library. Keep as-is. (s-ingredients)
  6. How do you drink it? Reframed from the old instructional "How it works" (scoop, stir, enjoy). Everyone already knows how to stir a powder into water, so step-by-step instructions sell nothing. Lead with versatility instead: three ways it fits your day, as a latte (warm water + milk and a little sweetener), as a coffee or tea replacement, or in a shake or smoothie. This sells fitting-into-your-routine and creates desire, the same move Nuli makes with "Hur dricker man det?". It stays claims-safe because it is usage only, no benefit is stated. (s-ritual, reframed)
  7. Reviews + press Social proof. Servings, customer photos, review marquee, press logos. By now the visitor understands and believes the claim, so this is the moment to show they are not first. (s-social)
  8. Our promise + CTA Values and the close. "Energy you build, not borrow" + 30-day guarantee + Start Your Ritual. End on the brand line and the risk-reversal. (merge s-promise + s-community)
Folded out of HOME, with the reason
  • "Replace your supplement stack" USP grid now said by Section 2 (The Cup). Fold one line of it into Our Promise; cut the grid. (de-dupe)
  • Standalone dose section it is already beat 2 of Section 2 ("doses that actually work"). De-dupe; do not run it twice. (s-dose)
  • "Based on research" stats move to the Science page, the single evidence home. (s-research)
  • Community CTA merged into Our Promise so the page closes once, not twice. (s-community)
  • Lifestrip optional light decorative strip before the footer, keep only if it earns its space. (s-lifestrip)

04  Our build

Recommended PDP flow.

The gallery sells. A handful of tight sections close.

This is the page modelled on MUD\WTR, the gold-standard product page. A warm, comparing visitor lands here. The gallery carries most of the selling; a short run of sections then proves and closes. It does not re-run the home page. Source file: product-daylight.html.

The model: MUD\WTR's product page

mudwtr.com/products/30-servings-tin · captured full-page, the page we are copying the shape of

MUD\WTR PDP · full page
MUD WTR product page, full length

Read it top to bottom and the lesson is clear: the gallery does the heavy lifting. The images in the gallery are not just product shots, they carry whole arguments, value in every cup, what to expect after daily use, "more functional and better tasting," and even a comparison against a competitor, all baked into the gallery a buyer swipes through right next to the buy box. The point most people miscount is what sits under the buy box: the benefits and the nutrition / supplement facts are accordions inside the buy box, part of the product hero, not their own sections down the page. After the hero, the page is only a handful of tight sections. Few words, a lot of work done by pictures.

Note on counting: Benefits, nutrition / supplement facts, what's-included = accordions inside the buy box, not separate sections.

Their flow, in order
  1. Product hero — gallery (selling-point images) beside "Pick Your Starter Kit", rating, add-to-cart, and a stack of accordions inside the buy box: benefits, nutrition / supplement facts, and the "what's included" value list. Benefits and nutrition facts are not their own sections, they live here
  2. Social proof — "240 million cups served · Join the Movement" video testimonials
  3. Ingredients — "It's what's inside that counts" grid, each with its dose
  4. Comparison — "How it Stacks Up" table vs other options
  5. Founder note — "WTF is MUD\WTR" short black explainer, signed by the founder
  6. Reviews — rating + filterable review cards
  7. FAQ — "Ask us anything"
Takeaway: roughly seven real sections, because the hero already answered most of the questions, benefits and nutrition facts included, tucked into accordions beside the buy box. This is the exact case for the card gallery we have already built. It validates the bet.

Step one: let the gallery do the selling.

We have already built a deck of selling-point cards, value-per-cup, what-to-expect, vs-competitor, why-a-drink-not-a-pill, the dose story, and more. MUD\WTR proves that these belong inside the gallery, beside the buy box, not scattered down the page as separate sections. So the first move is to curate the strongest 8 to 10 cards into the product gallery and let a buyer swipe through the argument while the buy box stays in view. Lead with the cards that close: value-per-cup, the dose story, what-to-expect, and the vs-coffee card. The page below the fold then only has to confirm and reassure.

Step two: a short run of tight sections.

With the gallery carrying the pitch and the buy box absorbing the detail, a focused run of real sections remains, each doing one job, in this order. Count the way MUD\WTR really counts: benefits, nutrition / supplement facts and what's-included are accordions inside the buy box, not separate sections. Two beats that an earlier draft cut to match MUD\WTR's leaner page are added back here because they earn their place on a deciding buyer: "How do you drink it?" (versatility) and the outcome timeline (what to expect after daily use). The page stays lean, the gallery and the buy-box accordions still do most of the work.

Note on counting: Benefits, nutrition / supplement facts, what's-included = accordions inside the buy box, not separate sections.

  1. Product hero — gallery + buy box + accordions The whole point, above the fold, and the section that does the heavy lifting. The 8 to 10 strongest selling-point cards as the swipeable gallery (value-per-cup, what-to-expect, vs-competitor) carry the pitch, beside 4.8 stars from 11,825, subscription options (3-month default), add-to-cart, and a 30-day guarantee. Tucked into the buy box as accordions / tabs, not as their own sections: benefits (the calm-energy promise restated for a deciding buyer), nutrition / supplement facts (the per-serving dose, "Same 10:1 extract. Ten times the dose," with the 3D pouch media), and what's included. The "How do you drink it?" versatility section and the dose proof both get a full standalone moment further down too, see steps 3 and 6, this accordion is the in-buy-box short form. MUD\WTR keeps the detail inside the buy box for the same reason. The gallery is the pitch; the accordions answer the detail questions in place; everything below just confirms. (s-pdphero: gallery + buy box + benefits/nutrition/included accordions)
  2. Join the movement — social proof Reassure the buyer they are not first. Servings count, customer photos / video testimonials, review marquee, press logos. MUD\WTR's "Join the Movement" beat. (s-social)
  3. How do you drink it? The versatility section, kept as a real on-page section, not just a buy-box accordion. Three ways it fits the buyer's day: as a latte (warm water plus milk and a little sweetener), as a coffee or tea replacement (the morning cup, swapped one-for-one), and in a shake or smoothie (blended into whatever they already make). This is the same reframe used on home, the Nuli "Hur dricker man det?" move, and it sells fitting-into-the-routine instead of a dry scoop-stir-enjoy step list. Claims-safe: usage only, no benefit stated. (s-ritual, reframed, see the reframe note below)
  4. It's what's inside that counts — full ingredient grid On the PDP this is a full 3×4 grid that shows every ingredient at once, with each one's dose, not the home page's carousel. It backs the price by making the buyer see how loaded and properly dosed the formula is. Borrow MUD\WTR's headline almost verbatim, it is a great line. See "The PDP ingredient section is a full grid, not a carousel" below for the layout and the home / PDP split. (s-ingredients, full grid)
  5. How it stacks up — comparison A closing-stage buyer is comparing. Hand them the table, TH against a generic "other mushroom coffee / regular coffee" rather than naming a brand on our own page. This is also where the dose difference lands as a side-by-side proof, "Same 10:1 extract. 1,000mg vs 100mg." MUD\WTR's "How it Stacks Up" is the model. (s-compare, carries the dose differentiator, see the dose-placement note below)
  6. Outcome timeline — what to expect What daily use feels like over time, framed as a "what to expect" timeline (for example week 1 through week 12). It sets the buyer's expectations honestly and pushes them toward the subscription rather than a one-off, the same beat MUD\WTR carries in its gallery and Seed runs as "benefits that build over time." Keep it claims-safe: describe the ritual building, route any benefit wording only through the authorised niacin / cacao claims. (s-timeline)
  7. What is Thunder Honey — short founder note A brief, human founder paragraph, our version of "WTF is MUD\WTR." Why we built it and what it is for, signed. One small block, not an About page. (s-founder, new)
  8. Reviews Detailed rating bars and review cards. Late-stage social proof, the last nudge before the close. (s-reviews)
  9. Ask us anything — FAQ Clear the final objections in full before the close, using MUD\WTR's warm framing. (A short FAQ on home is fine; the full one lives here.) (s-faq)
  10. Our promise + guarantee + sticky add-to-cart Final risk-reversal: 30-day money-back + Start Your Ritual, with a sticky add-to-cart so the buy button is always reachable on a long scroll. (merge s-promise + new sticky bar)

Keep: the card gallery (now the centre of gravity) and the buy-box accordions (benefits, nutrition / supplement facts, what's-included), the comparison, the promise. Bring back: "How do you drink it?" and the outcome timeline as their own sections, two beats that were wrongly dropped when matching MUD\WTR's lean flow; both pull their weight on a deciding buyer. Keep on the PDP: the dose-difference proof, it is our number-one differentiator and stays here (it now rides on the comparison section), see the dose-placement note below. Drop the home re-teach: the full energy graph, the "based on research" stats, and the standalone "formulated for function" feature card (its content moves to home or into a gallery card or a buy-box accordion). Add: the short "What is Thunder Honey" founder note.

Where the dose difference lives: PDP and Science, not Home.

The "Same 10:1 extract. 1,000mg vs 100mg" dose-difference section is our number-one proof and differentiator, so there is no confusion: it is not being removed. It is being placed where it does the most work, and de-duped where it would only repeat itself.

  • PDP — stays. The dose proof lives on the product page, where a deciding buyer needs it. It rides on the comparison section ("How it stacks up") as the side-by-side, "same extract, ten times the dose," and is also the per-serving line in the nutrition / supplement-facts accordion inside the buy box.
  • Science — stays, in depth. The full dose graph and the mechanism live on the Science page, alongside the energy graph, as the deep version of the same proof (see the Science flow, "Deep energy + dose graphs").
  • Home — the standalone dose section is dropped (de-dupe only). On the home page the dose story is already told as beat 2 of Section 2, "The Cup" ("doses that actually work"). So the separate standalone dose section is folded out of home to avoid saying it twice on one page. This is a de-dupe on home, not a removal of the dose differentiator from the site. It is alive and load-bearing on the PDP and on Science.

In short: the dose difference is a deliberate cross-page repeat (Section 2 beat on home, full proof on PDP, deep graph on Science), exactly the Seed / IM8 "same reassurance, restated for each journey" model. The only thing that goes away is the redundant second telling of it on the home page.

The PDP ingredient section is a full grid, not a carousel.

On the product page the ingredient section should show every ingredient at once as a full grid, laid out in even rows (for example 3 rows of 4, or 4 rows of 3, whichever lays out cleanest), not a carousel. The reason is the whole point of the section on a PDP: a deciding buyer should see the entire formula in one view and feel how loaded and how properly dosed it is. That is exactly how MUD\WTR's PDP does it under "It's what's inside that counts," and it plays straight into our dose differentiator, the formula reads heavy and complete the moment you land on it instead of being hidden one card at a time behind a swipe. Headline: "It's what's inside that counts."

Home and PDP split the same content into two jobs.

The ingredient content is shared, but the two pages use it differently. The home page keeps a lighter ingredient teaser or carousel, a discovery taster that shows the hero actives and then links out to the Science page with "Explore all 11 ingredients." Its job is discovery, not the full picture. The PDP shows the full grid, the complete formula at a glance, because its job is proof for a buyer who is deciding. Same ingredients, two jobs: the home teases, the PDP proves.

Count flag, confirm before building
  • Brand standard is 11 actives, not 12. There may be a 12th ingredient card (stevia) that is distinct from the 11 actives, the sweetener, not an active. So the grid is either 3×4 = 12 ingredients (the 11 actives plus stevia) or 4 / 4 / 3 = 11 actives (stevia handled elsewhere). The exact count and which cards belong in the grid must be confirmed from products.json before this is built.
  • Keep the grid claims-safe. Ingredient names and amounts only, no benefit claims on the cards, per EU rules. Cross-reference the compliance doc: claims must follow EU rules.

Ingredient cards: describe the ingredient, LifeSeeds style (claims-safe).

LifeSeeds (lifeseeds.com) writes each ingredient card as a short, factual description of what the molecule is and the role it plays in the body, e.g. "Nicotinamide riboside converts into NAD+, a coenzyme involved in cellular energy metabolism", "Lion's Mane contains hericenones and erinacines that interact with nerve-growth-factor pathways". It reads credible and premium without a hard "for energy / for focus" benefit headline on the card. We should adopt the same register for our ingredient cards: name the ingredient, the dose, and a neutral one-line description of its role. It carries the science feel while staying off the obvious benefit claim.

The EU caveat, important: a descriptive line can still cross into an implied health claim if the role described amounts to a benefit the EU has not authorised. LifeSeeds' own descriptions lean on NAD+, DNA repair, cellular energy, vitality, longevity, none of which are EU-authorised, so we copy the format, not those substances. Keep our descriptions to neutral composition and mechanism ("a form of vitamin B3", "a polyphenol-rich cacao", "an amino acid found in tea"), and where we want to state a benefit, attach an authorised wording rather than an implied one.

The niacin-backed cards can go further, legally:

  • The NR / vitamin B3 card is the one card that can carry a real benefit line, because nicotinamide is a form of niacin and our 300mg dose clears the threshold. On that card we may state the authorised niacin wordings: "contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism", "to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue", "to normal psychological function", "to the normal functioning of the nervous system", "to the maintenance of normal skin". So the energy, fatigue, focus-as-psychological-function and skin messages we cannot get from the mushrooms can be stated where nicotinamide is the basis. Route the wording through "niacin (vitamin B3)", never "NAD+".
  • Every other card stays descriptive only, factual role, dose, no benefit headline, since none of the other actives have an authorised claim.

Net: the cards read like LifeSeeds (factual, science-forward), and the one card that is allowed to make a benefit claim (niacin/B3) does the load-bearing energy/fatigue/focus/skin work for the whole grid, EU-safe. Confirm all wordings against the compliance doc, the niacin unlock before publishing.

Reframe "How it works" as "How do you drink it?" (home and PDP).

Today both pages carry an instructional "How it works": scoop, stir, enjoy. The problem is that nobody needs to be taught to stir a powder into water, so a step-by-step diagram sells nothing and earns no desire. Nuli handles this better with a "Hur dricker man det?" section that shows the same drink three different ways. We should do the same, on the home page where the old "How it works" sits, and inside the PDP buy box where "how to use" is an accordion. Lead with versatility, not instructions.

Three ways to drink it:

  • As a latte — warm water plus your milk of choice and a little sweetener.
  • As a coffee or tea replacement — the morning cup, swapped one-for-one.
  • In a shake or smoothie — blended into whatever you already make.

Why it is the better section: it sells fitting into the routine you already have and it creates desire by letting the reader picture their own cup, instead of reading a manual. And it is claims-safe because every line is usage only, no benefit is stated or implied. Same EU discipline as the rest of the site, see the compliance doc: claims must follow EU rules.


05  Our build

Recommended SCIENCE flow.

The single home for all the evidence.

Everything that proves a claim consolidates here, so other pages can link to one authoritative source instead of carrying their own copy. Source file: ingredients.html / science.html.

  1. Cited studies The references behind every claim, gathered in one place. This is what makes the page the authority other pages point to.
  2. Deep energy + dose graphs The full versions of the two signature charts (home shows them lighter; here they go deep, with the mechanism). The detailed proof lives here. (s-energy + s-dose, full)
  3. Full ingredient grid All 11 actives (plus stevia) as the complete flip-grid with doses, the destination the home carousel's "Explore all 11" links to. (s-igrid)
  4. "Based on research" stats The 87% sleep / 9-in-10 focus stats consolidated here, moved off the home page, so the evidence claims sit with the evidence. (s-research)

This page is the reason the home and product pages can stay short: anything anyone wants to verify is one click away, in one place.

Add a "Research Summary" credibility section, honest, not LifeSeeds-style inflated.

LifeSeeds runs a "Research summary" block that leads with a single big number, on its Neuro page: "120 randomized double-blind studies on Neuro's active compounds, 91 randomized trials reported positive outcomes" with a one-line note that the trials are "heterogeneous in design, populations, and measured outcomes." It is a strong credibility device: a headline count of trials, a positive-outcome count, and a small methodology footnote. We should run our own version, but built only from the real studies we have already verified in SCIENCE-CITATIONS.md (every PMID / DOI re-checked on 2026-06-25). We do not invent a trial count, and we never round up a thin evidence base into a marketing number.

What the honest version can truthfully say:

  • Lead with what is real and specific, not a single inflated total. Our evidence file cites roughly 28 peer-reviewed human studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses across the 11 actives, each with a verifiable PMID or DOI. That is the honest headline: "Every active is mapped to the published human research, with the citation listed", not "X trials, Y positive".
  • Grade the evidence transparently, the way our own file does. Show the strength scale we already use, STRONG / MODERATE / PRELIMINARY, per active. For example: NR raising NAD+ is STRONG at our exact 300mg dose (Conze 2019); L-Theanine calm at 200mg and CDP-Choline attention at 250mg are MODERATE exact-dose RCTs; Chaga, MCT (1g) and propolis (50mg) are PRELIMINARY and explicitly flagged as below clinically studied doses. Publishing the weak grades alongside the strong ones is what makes the strong ones believable.
  • Keep the methodology footnote, and make it do real work. State plainly: studies vary in dose, population and design; some of our actives are dosed below the levels used in the strongest trials; mechanistic / animal data is labelled as such; nothing here is a medical claim. This is more honest than LifeSeeds' single "heterogeneous" line, and it is a differentiator: radical transparency as the brand's credibility.

Hard rules for this section (from SCIENCE-CITATIONS.md):

  • Do not fabricate counts. No "120 trials / 91 positive" unless that is literally what our citation list contains. Use the real ~28 verified citations and describe them accurately. Confirm the exact final count from the file before it is rendered.
  • Never use the unverifiable lines. The "+7% VO2max from 1,000mg Cordyceps" claim could not be traced to a real trial, it must not appear. No VO2max boost claim.
  • Counting / sourcing is described accurately. Where a "study" is a meta-analysis (e.g. the 14-RCT Cordyceps review, the 26-RCT collagen meta, the 17- and 27-RCT propolis metas), say so, do not silently count the pooled trials as if they were ours.

Claims discipline still applies: a citation does not turn an unauthorised benefit into a legal claim. The Research Summary proves rigour and transparency; it is not a licence to state mushroom/adaptogen benefits. On-page benefit wording still routes only through the authorised niacin and cacao-flavanol claims. See the compliance doc: claims must follow EU rules, and the MUD\WTR question on why a footnoted study is still a health claim in the EU.


06  Our build

Recommended ABOUT flow.

The brand and the people.

Short and human. Why we exist and who is behind it. Source file: our-story.html.

  1. Brand story Where this came from and why. "Developed in Sweden." The narrative hook that frames everything else. (s-ourstory)
  2. Founders The people. Joakim Bjarke and Nina Strauss. Faces and names build trust that no chart can.
  3. Mission What we are trying to change. "Energy you build, not borrow." The line that ties the brand together. (s-mission)
  4. Our promise Close on values and the guarantee, the same reassurance offered at the end of the journey here too. (s-promise)

07  Structure good, picture wrong

Keep the section, swap the image.

These sections work structurally. They do not need to move or be cut, they just need a better photo.

  • Formulated for function background — currently a stock shot. Swap for a real product-in-context image.
  • Promise / lifestyle images — swap to warmer, on-brand lifestyle photography.
  • Reviews — replace placeholder imagery with real customer UGC.
  • Instagram strip — replace with real Instagram screenshots, not generated stand-ins.

08  Read before flagging a "duplicate"

Repeats that are on purpose.

Some content appears on more than one page by design. This is the Seed and IM8 model: the same reassurance, offered again at the point in a different journey where a visitor needs it. These are not the duplication problem.

  • Our promise / guarantee — closes Home, PDP, and the About page (and can close Science). Every journey should end on the risk-reversal.
  • FAQ — full on the PDP where objections must be cleared before purchase; a short version on home is fine. Same idea as MUD\WTR and Four Sigmatic.
  • Social proof — on both Home and PDP. On home it earns attention; on the PDP it reassures the buyer. Same block, different job, exactly like IM8.
  • The dose differentiator — the one true cross-page repeat. It is our strongest reason-to-believe (Section 2 beat on home, full section on PDP and Science), so it earns a place wherever a visitor is deciding.

The thing to fix is not these intentional repeats. It is the current state where the PDP re-runs roughly 70% of the home page. Once each page owns its job, the only shared content is the handful of journey-driven repeats above.


09  The first three seconds

Hero copy: speak to the customer, not the spec sheet.

Keep "Find your flow" as the H1. It is short, ownable, and already the through-line for the whole site (more on that below). The job of the subline is the part to fix. Right now it tends to recite the product (caffeine-free, 11 actives, full doses, Sweden, tested). That is what a buyer checks after they care, not what makes them care. The subline should sell the customer their own outcome, the mind and body story: calm the body, fuel the mind. The specs are reassurance, so they belong on a thin trust line under the CTA, not in the hero promise.

Note on claims:

All three options below use mind and body language as lifestyle and ritual positioning. Before any of this goes live it must follow EU rules. "Calm the body, fuel the mind" is positioning, not a health claim, but the line is close enough to the edge that it needs an advisor's eye. See the compliance doc: claims must follow EU rules.

Three subline options to choose from.

Option A

"Transform your mornings. Calm for the body, focus for the mind."

Most direct on the mind and body split. "Transform your mornings" is a clear before/after promise. Strongest for the perimenopausal and quit-caffeine avatars (Margareta, Sofia) who are reorganising their mornings.

Option B

"Trade the caffeine rollercoaster for steady, all-day flow."

Leads with the enemy (the caffeine spike and crash) and lands on "flow", tying straight back to the H1. Strongest for the flow-seeking founder and biohacker (Felix, Fredrik). Watch the wording: keep "steady, all-day flow" as an experience contrast, not an energy health claim.

Option C

"The world's first longevity cacao, made to calm the body and fuel the mind."

Most category-defining and premium. "World's first longevity cacao" is a strong ownable line, but "longevity" is a flagged word in the EU. Use only if the advisor clears "longevity" as a category descriptor rather than a benefit claim; otherwise prefer A or B.

Move to a thin trust line below the CTA
  • Caffeine-free · 11 actives · full doses · developed in Sweden · third-party tested a single quiet row of reassurance directly under "Start your ritual", not the hero promise. These are facts a buyer verifies once they are interested; they do not need to do the emotional work.
Superseded: these v1 options are kept for the record, but the CEO chose to keep "Transform your mornings" as the opener, so the final subline is the v2 · C line locked just below ("Transform your mornings. A calmer body, a sharper mind, a steadier you."). Note that v1·C's "world's first longevity cacao" is not the chosen line, "longevity" is a flagged EU word. Whichever subline runs, the spec row drops to the trust line.

Subline v2: "Transform your mornings", with more than calm and focus.

The CEO likes "Transform your mornings" as the opener and wants to keep it. The ask is to reach past calm and focus toward a sense of natural, steady strength, the feeling of being grounded and capable through the day, without crossing an EU claim. The trap to avoid: phrasings like "natural energy" or "strengthens the body" are health claims and are not EU-permitted (see the compliance doc: claims must follow EU rules, "for energy" and "strengthens" are exactly the kind of relationship the regulation catches). So these options capture the feeling of grounded steadiness, never the claim. Record all three for the CEO to choose from:

v2 · A · not chosen

"Transform your mornings. Calm in the body, clear in the mind, steady all day."

Keeps the mind-body split but adds "steady all day" for the through-the-day strength feeling. "Steady" reads as an experience of composure, not an energy claim. Not selected.

v2 · B · not chosen

"Transform your mornings, the natural way to feel grounded, clear, and steady, no caffeine."

Leans hardest into "natural" and "grounded" for the rooted-strength feeling, and closes on "no caffeine" as the honest differentiator. Note: "natural way to feel grounded" is positioning about how you feel, not "natural energy", which would be a claim. Not selected.

v2 · C · LOCKED ✓

"Transform your mornings. A calmer body, a sharper mind, a steadier you."

This is the chosen hero subline. The most personal and ownable, "a steadier you" lands the grounded-strength idea as an identity rather than a benefit. Cleanest on claims of the three because every phrase is about the person, not the product's effect. Keeps the CEO's "Transform your mornings" opener.

Decision, locked: the hero subline is Option C, "Transform your mornings. A calmer body, a sharper mind, a steadier you." A and B are recorded above but not chosen. It stays claims-safe because every phrase describes a felt state about the person (calmer, sharper, steadier) as lifestyle positioning, and it avoids the flagged constructions "natural energy" and "strengthens the body". H1 above it stays "Find your flow". As with all hero copy this is close enough to the line that it still gets the advisor's eye before going live, see the compliance doc: claims must follow EU rules.

10  Borrow the best lines

Section headline wins, from MUD\WTR.

MUD\WTR's product page is the page we are already modelling the shape on. Two of its section headlines are doing more work than ours and are worth borrowing almost verbatim. They reframe a flat, functional label into something with a point of view.

  • Social proof section "Join the movement." Replaces a plain "Reviews" or "What people say". It turns testimonials into belonging, the buyer is joining something, not reading evidence. Same content, a headline that recruits.
  • Ingredients section "It's what's inside that counts." Replaces the flat "Ingredients" or the comparison-y "How we stack up". It frames the dose-and-composition story (our strongest factual asset) as the reason to believe, and stays cleanly on the safe side of claims because it is about what is in the cup, not what it does to you.
Why these are safe to borrow: both headlines sell belonging and composition, not a health benefit. They upgrade tone without adding any claim risk. "How we stack up" can still live as the comparison table headline; "It's what's inside that counts" is the better label for the ingredient grid itself.

11  One through-line, many doors

Avatars and persona landing pages.

The generic site (home, PDP, science, about) carries the through-line: everything ladders to FLOW. That is the spine. On top of it we build persona landing pages, one per avatar, each a PDP-and-listicle hybrid that speaks directly to that person in their own language, then ladders back to the same flow promise. The generic site is the brand; the landing pages are the targeted front doors that paid traffic lands on. They must feel like the same brand, and every one of them must end up at "find your flow".

We already have six data-grounded archetypes (source: TH_CUSTOMER_AVATARS.md and 02_ADS/1_STRATEGY/customer-avatars.md). Pulling the real names and angles:

  • Fredrik — Stockholm biohacker director, primary, highest LTV. Clinical-dose / spec-forward register.
  • Margareta — perimenopausal re-orienter, the largest unclaimed female segment. Hormone-aware, caffeine-as-trigger angle.
  • Sofia — quit-caffeine creative director, the largest current female base. Cortisol / cycle-kind / ritual angle.
  • Felix — flow-seeking young founder, retention-critical (65% of month-1 churn). "Baseline energy back", flow-state angle.
  • Anna — non-metro Swedish longevity seeker, 39% of revenue, Swedish-language only.
  • Mattias — subscription-skeptic power user, filter avatar. "No auto-bill, order when you want" angle.

Recommended five landing pages.

Six avatars, but Mattias is a behaviour filter (subscription-skeptic) better handled by an offer toggle on the PDP than by a separate persona page. So build five persona landing pages, mapped to the avatars with the clearest distinct angle and biggest spend priority.

  1. Female hormones / cortisol Maps to Margareta (lead) and Sofia. The "your coffee turned on you" door. Largest unclaimed lane, near-perfect product fit. Ladders to flow as "the calm morning that still works for you." (lp-margareta, list-margareta as the listicle half)
  2. Biohacker / optimiser Maps to Fredrik. The clinical-dose, label-transparency, replace-the-stack door. Highest LTV. Ladders to flow as "the steady baseline you have been trying to engineer." (lp-fredrik, list-fredrik)
  3. Busy founder / flow-seeker Maps to Felix. The "caffeine kills flow, get your baseline back" door. Retention-critical, biggest conversion opportunity from Space Goods / MUD\WTR. The most literal ladder to the flow promise. (lp-felix, list-felix)
  4. Quit-coffee creative Maps to Sofia (and pulls the quit-coffee listicle). The "keep the ritual, lose the cortisol spike" door. Largest current female base. Ladders to flow as "the morning ritual without the jitters." (lp-sofia, list-sofia, list-quit-coffee)
  5. Swedish / non-metro Maps to Anna, Swedish-language only. The "svenskt, gott som kakao, en kopp istallet for sju tabletter" door. 39% of revenue, low CAC, uncontested lane. Do not translate her hooks. Ladders to flow in Swedish. (lp-anna, list-anna, the -sv pages)

Note: draft persona pages already exist in the baseline as lp-[name].html and list-[name].html. This section recommends which five to invest in and the angle each should own; it does not change those files.

The listicle funnel: where the real selling happens.

Nuli (scaling on ads in Sweden right now) shows the model we should run: keep the generic site relatively clean, and put the heavy persuasion into a per-avatar listicle / advertorial in the "10 reasons to switch" format, with the ads pointing straight to it. The clean site is the calm place to land and buy; the listicle is where a cold, ad-sourced reader actually gets convinced. The two are one funnel, not two separate efforts.

These listicles are not a new asset to invent, they are the avatar landing pages, or more precisely the top, convincing half of them. Each of the five persona pages already pairs a list-[name] (the advertorial) with an lp-[name] (the lander). The advertorial does the persuading in that avatar's own language; it then hands the now-warm reader down to the buy. So the work is to make the list-[name] pages genuinely strong "10 reasons" advertorials, one per avatar lane, each tuned to that person's hook (hormones, biohacking, founder flow, quit-coffee, Swedish).

Language policy: build the listicles English-first, then translate to Swedish, per the site's English-first policy. Note that Nuli runs its listicles in Swedish only; we do both EN and SV, which lets the same advertorial work for the international avatars and for Anna's Swedish-only lane (her hooks stay native, never translated from English).
  • Female hormones / cortisollist-margareta (lead), pulling Sofia's quit-coffee angle. "Your coffee turned on you, here are 10 reasons to switch."
  • Biohacker / optimiserlist-fredrik. Clinical-dose, label-transparency, replace-the-stack reasons.
  • Busy founder / flow-seekerlist-felix. "Caffeine kills flow, 10 reasons to get your baseline back."
  • Quit-coffee creativelist-sofia + list-quit-coffee. "Keep the ritual, lose the cortisol spike."
  • Swedish / non-metrolist-anna (the -sv pages). Swedish-language, the lane Nuli is fighting in directly.

Claims discipline holds inside the listicles too: an advertorial reason like "sharper focus" is a targeting hook for the angle, not legal on-page copy. Every published reason follows the EU rules. See the compliance doc: claims must follow EU rules.

The flow through-line must be consistent everywhere.

Each landing page enters in the avatar's language (hormones, biohacking, founder flow, quit-coffee, Swedish), but every one must resolve to the same promise: find your flow. The H1 system, the "calm the body, fuel the mind" framing, the flow language, and the brand trust line should read as one brand across the generic site and all five landing pages. The avatar changes the door; it never changes the house.

  • Same H1 family — "Find your flow" (or a tight avatar-specific variant that still says flow).
  • Same close — the promise plus the 30-day guarantee, identical on every page.
  • Same claims discipline — every persona page obeys the EU rules. Avatar hooks like "the brain fog your doctor won't mention" are targeting insight, not legal on-page copy. See the compliance doc: claims must follow EU rules.
