02Executive summary
What we found.
Capite Discoveries sells real, well-built products: downloadable lessons, ebooks, an educational app membership, and merchandise aimed at helping parents raise and teach their children. Our CRO strategist found every product genuinely strong. The problem sitting between those products and a sale has nothing to do with what is being sold.
The site has no navigation menu at all, which our CRO strategist called the first time they had seen a store without one. The homepage is one long scrolling page with information scattered across it, so a visitor has to piece together what Capite Discoveries actually does. There is no structure guiding a parent from question to answer to purchase.
That same lack of structure follows a visitor onto the product page. Someone who lands directly on a product from an ad cannot navigate to any other product, see related items, or compare options, the page is a dead end. There is no quiz or guide to help a parent choose the right lesson for their child's age, and no bundle or membership upsell shown at the moment of decision.
The fix is a homepage organized around discovery: shop by age, shop by category, best sellers, and a find their fit quiz that recommends a product instead of asking parents to guess. Collection pages gain filters, and product pages explain what's inside each lesson, add reviews, and offer bundles to lift order value. The site should guide parents, not make them decode a catalog on their own.
03The verdict
Problem, opportunity, impact
Core problem
The homepage has no navigation at all, so parents who don't arrive on a specific product page have no way to browse, compare, or even see what Capite Discoveries sells beyond the one page they landed on.
Main opportunity
Capite Discoveries could become a guided discovery experience that sorts products by age and category, explains what every lesson and membership includes, and routes each parent to the specific product that fits their child.
Estimated impact
Parents would be able to find, understand, and trust a specific product before buying, which should turn more ad clicks into purchases and make it easier to sell bundles and memberships.

05What we'd fix
Every issue, paired with its fix.
12 issues found, 16 fixes proposed.
Problems identified
No Primary Navigation On The Site
The website currently has no navigation menu anywhere, so there is no way to move from one part of the site to another without typing in a new URL.
Homepage Is One Long Scattered Page
The homepage is a very long single page with lessons, ebooks, apps, membership, and merchandise all mixed together, so a parent has to scroll and piece together what the business offers.
No Way To Browse By Category Or Age
There is no structured way to shop by category such as lessons, ebooks, or apps, and no way to shop by a child's age, even though age is the main factor parents use to choose.
Product Pages Are A Dead End
A visitor who lands on a product page from an ad has no way to see any other product, a collection, or the homepage, the page simply stops there.
No Guided Path From Landing To Purchase
Nothing on the site walks a parent from arriving, to understanding the product, to deciding to buy, so the buying journey is left entirely up to the visitor to invent.
No Tool To Help Parents Pick A Product
With dozens of lessons, ebooks, and apps across different ages, there is no quiz or finder to help a parent identify which specific product fits their child.
Whats Included Is Unclear On Product Pages
Product pages do not explain what is actually inside a lesson or ebook, such as the activity guides or spreads, leaving parents to guess what they would receive.
Few Trust Signals At The Point Of Decision
There is little on the product page reassuring a parent that the product is safe, effective, or already loved by other families, right at the moment they are deciding to buy.
No Membership Option Shown On Products
Products are not shown with the option to buy as a single lesson or as part of the membership with a discount, so parents do not see the cheaper path to the same product.
No Bundles Offered Anywhere On The Site
Products are sold one at a time with no bundle of related lessons or books offered, so the store is not capturing the extra sale when a parent is already buying.
The Site Explains Products Not Their Value
The site describes what each product is but does not explain how it helps a parent groom or educate their child, which is the actual reason a parent would buy.
The Business Itself Is Hard To Understand
It takes real effort to understand what Capite Discoveries does, who it is for, and why someone should trust it, the four basic questions a new visitor needs answered immediately.
Recommendations
Add A Navigation Menu To Every Page
Add a standard site navigation so a visitor can move between the homepage, collections, and product pages from anywhere on the site.
Rebuild The Homepage Around Discovery
Rebuild the homepage to open with who the business is, what it sells, who it's for, and why to trust it, then route visitors into clear sections.
Organize Products By Age On The Homepage
Add a shop by age section so parents can jump straight to the lessons, ebooks, and apps suited to their child's specific age.
Organize Products By Category
Group products into clear categories such as lessons, ebooks, educational apps, membership, and merchandise so each type is easy to find on its own.
Add A Best Sellers Section
Add a loved by families or best sellers section to the homepage so new visitors can see which products other parents already trust.
Build A Find Your Fit Quiz
Add a short quiz that asks a few questions about the child and recommends a specific product, so parents feel the product was chosen for them, not guessed at.
Add Filters To Collection Pages
Add filters to collection pages so a parent browsing a category like lessons can narrow down to the right product faster.
Explain Whats Included On Every Product Page
Show exactly what a parent receives with each product, such as activity guides or lesson spreads, so there is no uncertainty about what they are paying for.
Add Reviews To Product Pages
Add customer reviews to product pages so a hesitant parent can see that other families already bought and trust the product.
Offer A Free Preview On Lessons And Ebooks
Let parents preview a sample of a lesson or ebook before buying, so they can judge the fit themselves instead of relying on the description alone.
Add A Membership Option At The Product Level
Show the option to buy a single lesson or get it through the membership at a discount, directly on the product page.
Bundle Related Products Together
Package related lessons or books into a bundle, for example three products for a set price instead of buying each one separately, to lift average order value.
Build Larger Multi Product Bundles
Create a bigger bundle, such as five books in one pack at a discount, so a single purchase captures more of what a parent was already going to buy over time.
Connect Every Page Back To The Catalog
Make sure a visitor who lands on any single product page can still reach the rest of the catalog, not just the one product an ad pointed them to.
Explain The Benefit Not Just The Product
Reframe product descriptions around how each item helps a parent raise or educate their child, since that benefit is what actually drives the purchase.
Answer The Four Questions Immediately
Answer who you are, what you do, who it's for, and why to trust you within the first screen a visitor sees, before asking them to explore further.
06The redesign
The version we'd build.
A concept redesign created by Convertica Studio from this audit. It shows how the store could work, it is not the live store.
Three pages side by side
The homepage in the centre, the product page on the left and the collection page on the right.
The cart
A slide-over opens over the product page with five lines in it, a free shipping bar and a membership card, and the page behind stays readable.
The quiz, step by step
Three questions about the child, then the match: a best first pick, two more that fit, a pack and a membership. Each step keeps the earlier answers on screen.
The product page
The whole page as two tall columns: the buy box, what is inside, the questions a hesitant parent asks and a nudge toward the membership.
Product page first screen
The header and the buy box on one screen, with the format, the price and the button together.
Collection page first screen
The header, the filter bar and the first row of cards, each one labelled with its format and age.
The shop menu
One menu that opens the catalogue by category, by age and by subject, with a card for parents who are not sure where to start.
On the phone
Three screens, the homepage, the collection filters and the product page with its sticky buy button.
07Key takeaways
The teardown in 7 lines.
- Capite Discoveries has no site navigation at all, the first time our CRO strategist had seen that on a live store.
- The products themselves are strong, the issue is that parents can't discover or understand them.
- A visitor who lands on a product page from an ad has no way to see any other product on the site.
- The homepage is one long page with information scattered across it instead of organized into clear sections.
- Parents need to be able to shop by their child's age, not just scroll and guess.
- A find your fit quiz would recommend a specific product instead of leaving parents to pick blindly.
- Bundling related lessons and books together is an easy way to raise average order value.
08Questions
Questions this audit answers.
There is no navigation anywhere on the website, so a visitor can only see whatever single page they happen to land on. That, combined with a long, scattered homepage, means most parents never discover the full range of lessons, ebooks, apps, and membership on offer.
No. Our CRO strategist reviewed every product on the site and found them genuinely strong. The problem is entirely in how the site presents and guides visitors to those products, not in the products.
Without navigation, a parent who arrives from an ad on one product page has no way to see anything else the store sells. Every visit becomes a dead end instead of an opportunity to browse related products.
A redesigned homepage would open by answering who the business is, what it sells, who it's for, and why to trust it, then route visitors into sections like shop by age, shop by category, and best sellers so they can find the right product quickly.
It's a short set of questions about the child that the site uses to recommend a specific product. It removes the guesswork for parents and makes them more confident that the product suggested is actually right for their situation.
Product pages don't clearly explain what's included in each lesson or ebook, don't show reviews, and don't offer a free preview, all details that would help a hesitant parent decide to buy.
Bundling related lessons or books into a single offer, like three products for one price instead of buying each separately, captures more of what a parent was likely already going to purchase over time and raises average order value.
Parents, not children. The site needs to explain how each product helps a parent groom or educate their child, since that benefit, not the product description alone, is what drives the purchase.
The core changes are structural: adding navigation, reorganizing the homepage around discovery, adding filters to collection pages, and building out product page content. It's a redesign of how the site is organized and presented, not a rebrand.
Collection pages need filters so a parent browsing a category like lessons can narrow down to the right age or type of product faster, instead of scrolling through everything at once.
The site keeps acting as a catalog instead of a salesman. Ad traffic will keep landing on isolated product pages with no path to explore further, compare options, or build enough confidence to buy.
Our CRO strategist reviewed the Capite Discoveries homepage, product pages, and overall site structure as a visitor would experience them, then walked through a proposed redesign covering the homepage, collection pages, product pages, and bundles. The full video runs 14 minutes.
