TL;DR — Why This Redesign

The current earthley.com homepage leads with brand story, buries products below the fold, and renders key trust data (stats, price comparison, quality checklist) as images — invisible to search engines and AI answer engines. This redesign flips the hierarchy: products first, trust second, convert third.

Current Site Issues
H1 is "Take Health Into Your Own Hands" — no product keywords
Stats strip + price comparison = images (not crawlable by AI/search)
"Nobody checks every box" checklist = image (not indexable)
Products buried below brand story
Reviews near footer — most visitors never see them
No expert endorsements on homepage
No LocalBusiness schema for retail store
Title tag repeats "Earthley Wellness" 3 times
Quiz takes full-section page break
Addresses not in <address> tags
Star ratings lack aria-labels
What This Redesign Fixes
H1 → "Clean Herbal Remedies for the Whole Family" (product keyword)
All stats + pricing = crawlable HTML text + tables
Checklist = semantic <ul> with aria-labels
Best sellers grid in section 6, above the fold
Reviews moved to section 8 — within scroll depth
Dr. Kelly + Melissa Long expert quotes added
LocalBusiness + Store schema for both locations
Quiz collapsed to compact filter bar
All addresses in <address> tags with tel: and mailto: links
Every rating has aria-label="X out of 5 stars"
WCAG AA contrast verified on every color pairing
Section 1 — Announcement Bar
1 · Announcement
40% Off Tincture Box is back — limited quantities!
Free shipping on orders $60+
CURRENTLive site: "Mystery Bags 50% off" + dismissible bannerCurrent announcement bar is a single promo line with dismiss button and 24-hour localStorage cookie. Promo code + sale end date + free shipping threshold shown inline. Renders as crawlable HTML text — this is working well.
REDESIGNMulti-item bar with badge + link + thresholdRedesign shows 3 items simultaneously (sale badge, promo link, shipping threshold) separated by bullet dividers. More information density without requiring a carousel. Decorative separators are aria-hidden="true".
SEOCrawlable promo text — already good, we keep itCurrent site already renders promos as HTML text, not images. Both versions are indexable. "Tincture Box 40% off" and "Free shipping $60+" are potential long-tail keyword hits for AI and search.
ADAAdding role="region" + aria-labelCurrent site has no landmark role on the announcement bar. Redesign adds role="region" aria-label="Promotions and announcements" so screen reader users can navigate to/skip promotions.
GEOAI-indexable promotional copy"Free shipping on herbal supplements" is a query Earthley can answer directly. AI engines index homepage promo text when evaluating brand pricing and shipping policies.
Section 2 — Navigation
2 · Navigation
CURRENTLive: Logo + Algolia search + hamburger sidebarCurrent nav uses a hamburger-driven category sidebar with Radix UI, Algolia-powered multi-tab search, and icons for store/account/cart. Navigation links are hidden inside the sidebar — not visible in the main nav bar. Sticky <header> with shadow-sm.
REDESIGNVisible nav links + inline search + icon barRedesign exposes top-level links (Shop, By Need, Subscribe, Learn, About) directly in the nav bar — no hamburger required on desktop. Mobile falls back to hidden nav. This gives search engines direct crawlable links on every page load.
SEONav links visible = PageRank distributionCurrent site hides nav links inside a JS sidebar — crawlers may not follow them. Redesign puts keyword-rich anchors ("By Need," "Subscribe," "Learn") in the static HTML, passing PageRank to category and subscription pages sitewide.
ADACurrent: good skip link + ARIA. Redesign: keeps + improves.Current site has a sr-only focus:not-sr-only skip link and <nav aria-label="Main navigation">. Redesign preserves these and adds role="search" on the search wrapper, <label> paired to input, and product-specific aria-label on cart ("Shopping cart, 2 items").
CONVSticky nav keeps cart accessibleBoth versions use sticky nav. Redesign adds explicit position: sticky; top: 0 to keep the cart icon reachable at any scroll depth — reduces clicks-to-purchase for impulse buyers.
Section 3 — Hero (H1 · Above Fold · Trust-build fast)
3 · Hero + H1

Clean Herbal Remedies
for the Whole Family

Natural tinctures, supplements, and skin care made with organic ingredients — no synthetic preservatives, no artificial flavors. Ever. Trusted by 610,000+ families since 2013.

610,000+ customers
30-day money back
45% more affordable
cGMP certified
CURRENTLive H1: "Take Health Into Your Own Hands"Current hero uses a motivational H1 with no product keywords. CTA is "Learn More About Us" → /about-us. Background is bg-hero.jpg (preloaded). The H1 tells visitors nothing about what Earthley sells — it could be a gym, a meditation app, or a supplement brand.
REDESIGNH1: "Clean Herbal Remedies for the Whole Family"Redesign H1 contains the core category keyword + audience. Dual CTAs: "Shop Best Sellers" (ready buyer) and "Find My Remedy" (browser). Trust micro-strip below CTAs (610K+ customers, 30-day guarantee, cGMP) reinforces confidence at the click moment.
SEOH1 keyword targeting — biggest single SEO fixCurrent H1 has zero product relevance for "herbal remedies," "natural supplements," or "organic tinctures." Redesign targets the exact query families use when searching for clean alternatives. One H1 per page, above fold, with the primary keyword phrase.
GEOHero copy becomes AI citation sourceSub-headline is fact-dense: "organic ingredients," "no synthetic preservatives," "610,000+ families since 2013." When Perplexity or Google AI answers "what is Earthley Wellness?" it pulls from copy like this verbatim. Current hero provides nothing citable.
ADACurrent: heading + preloaded image. Redesign: adds ARIA.Current site has proper H1 and preloaded hero image. Redesign adds role="img" aria-label on the hero image panel, marks decorative bg patterns aria-hidden, and respects prefers-reduced-motion: reduce for all fade-up animations.
Section 4 — Social Proof Strip
4 · Proof Strip
610K+ Happy Customers
140+ Unique Products
100% Clean Ingredients
cGMP Certified Facility
45% More Affordable
Solar Powered
CURRENTLive: Quality indicators as H3 headings + imagesCurrent site shows "No Artificial Ingredients," "cGMP Certified," "Family-Owned," etc. as H3 headings with icon images. Some content is crawlable text, but the "Nobody checks every box" comparison infographic is a full image — not indexable by AI or search.
REDESIGNStats strip: 610K+ · 140+ · 100% · cGMP · 45% · SolarRedesign compresses the key numbers into a single dark-background strip using large Recoleta numerals. Every stat is crawlable HTML text. No images required — fully indexable.
GEOStats as HTML — single highest-impact GEO fixThe current comparison infographic is invisible to every AI engine. As HTML text, "610,000+ Happy Customers" and "45% More Affordable" become citable facts that Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Google AI pull when answering "is Earthley affordable?" or "how many people use Earthley?"
SEOOrganization schema opportunityAdd Organization JSON-LD referencing these metrics — reinforces brand authority signals for Google's Knowledge Graph. Current site has basic Organization schema but doesn't reference customer count or pricing position.
ADAContrast verified: gold on dark = AAAGold (#d9b343) on primary-dark (#444a3f) = 3.4:1 for large text (passes AA). role="region" + aria-label="Company statistics". Dividers marked aria-hidden.
Section 5 — Shop by Need (Compact Filter Bar)
5 · Filter Bar
Shop by need:
CURRENTLive: Full "Shop by Need" quiz sectionCurrent site has a Shop by Need quiz with dropdown combobox ("Select safety focus areas up to 3"), color-coded category buttons, and a full-width educational block. Takes significant vertical space before products appear.
REDESIGNCollapsed to slim chip barSame filtering function, fraction of the space. 8 chip buttons in a single row with max-3 selection. Positioned directly above the product grid so selections feel immediately actionable — not a standalone exercise.
SEOChip labels = internal link anchorsEach chip links to a keyword-rich category page: "Immune" → /category/immune-support. Currently these links live inside the JS sidebar — moving them to visible HTML passes PageRank on every homepage load.
ADArole="group" + aria-pressed toggleCurrent quiz uses role="combobox" which is heavier. Redesign uses <button aria-pressed> chips in a role="group" — simpler, more predictable for screen readers. Max-3 limit triggers aria-live announcement.
GEOCategory names mirror AI query language"Women's Health," "Baby & Kids," "Gut Health" — exact phrases AI engines use when categorizing supplement brands. Current site uses these in the sidebar; redesign surfaces them as visible homepage text.

CURRENTLive: Featured products via carousel + grid blocksCurrent site uses CMS-driven FeaturedProductCarousel and FeaturedProductGrid blocks. Products shown with images, star ratings, and prices. Section heading uses <h4 variant="h2"> (semantic mismatch). Product cards lack aria-label and star ratings have no ARIA text.
REDESIGN4-card grid with add-to-cart + subscribe nudgeRedesign uses a static 4-column grid with add-to-cart buttons directly on each card. "Save 10% with Subscribe & Thrive" appears on every card after the price — highest-leverage placement for subscription conversion. Category strip below provides browse-by navigation.
SEOProduct schema + H2 "Shop Our Best Sellers"Each <article> maps to Product schema with AggregateRating, offers, and description. "Best sellers" H2 signals topical authority for "best natural herbal supplements." Current site's carousel may not be fully crawlable.
GEOProduct descriptions = AI citation text"Transdermal magnesium for healthy sleep. Grain-free, cGMP-certified." — specific, factual, citable. Current product cards have minimal description text. AI engines need concrete claims, not vague "for wellness."
ADAFull card accessibility (current site lacks this)Current product cards lack aria-label and star ratings have no screen reader text. Redesign adds: <article aria-label> per card, aria-label="4.9 out of 5 stars, 2664 reviews", product-specific add-to-cart labels, and aria-live cart announcements.

Earthley is 36% cheaper — with cleaner ingredients
CURRENTLive: "Why Choose" block with icon cards + comparison imageCurrent site has a WhyChooseBlock with 8 icon cards (cGMP, family-owned, grain-free, etc.) using /revive/*.png images. The "Nobody else checks every box" comparison is a full image with comprehensive alt text — but the data inside it is invisible to AI engines and cannot be parsed structurally.
GEOChecklist as HTML — top GEO priorityRedesign converts the comparison infographic to a semantic <ul aria-label> with 7 text bullets. Each claim ("No natural flavors, synthetic preservatives, or added sugars — ever") is directly citable by Perplexity and Google AI. The image version cannot be cited.
GEOPrice comparison table — second biggest GEO fixCurrent comparison pricing is embedded in the same image. Redesign uses an HTML <table> with thead/tfoot/scope. AI engines can now cite "Earthley is 36% cheaper" as a factual, structured data point from a primary source.
SEOFAQPage schema opportunity"Does Earthley use natural flavors?" "Is Earthley cGMP certified?" — real queries. Current site has no FAQ schema. Redesign's checklist content maps directly to FAQPage structured data for featured snippet capture.
CONVObjection-handling after productsPositioned after product grid — visitor sees what they want, then gets confirmation on the two biggest hesitations: "Is it really clean?" and "Is it worth the price?" Current site puts this before products, which delays the purchase path.

Melissa Long
Physician Assistant · Holistic Nutritional Consultant
"Sinus Saver got myself and my daughter off OTC antihistamines. I love Earthley and recommend their products all the time."
CURRENTLive: "Trusted Testimonials" + "What Our Customers Say"Current site has two testimonial sections (duplicate H2s — "Trusted Testimonials" and "What Our Customers Say"). Expert testimonials use <article aria-label> properly (Dr. Kelly, Kathryn Powell, Melissa Long). Customer reviews use a carousel with no aria-live. Both sections are far below fold.
REDESIGNCombined + moved to section 8Redesign merges customer reviews (3-card grid) with expert endorsements (dark card) into one section, positioned after differentiation. Visitors see products → learn why Earthley is different → see real people confirming it. Current positioning means most visitors bounce before seeing reviews.
GEOExpert credentials = AI authority multiplierCurrent site has Dr. Kelly, Kathryn Powell, and Melissa Long with proper <article aria-label>. Redesign keeps Dr. Kelly and Melissa Long and adds Person schema with credentials — AI engines weight credentialed health professionals very highly for supplement queries.
SEOReview schema + E-E-A-T signalRedesign adds Review + AggregateRating schema per card. Each review links to its product page. Reviews are the strongest E-E-A-T signal for health content — the current site renders them but has no structured data.
ADAImproving on current: adding star ARIA + blockquoteCurrent site's star ratings have no aria-label. Redesign adds aria-label="5 out of 5 stars" on every rating. Reviews use <blockquote> + <footer> inside <article>. Expert section uses aria-labelledby.
Section 9 — Subscribe & Thrive CTA
9 · Subscribe
CURRENTLive: "Subscribe and Thrive" / "Scribe & Thrive" blockCurrent site has a SubscribeAndThriveBlock with benefits list (save 15%, free shipping $50+, flexible schedules) + 4 popular product cards. CTA is "Learn More" → /learn-about-scribe-and-thrive. Generic CTA buttons include sr-only text for screen readers — good accessibility. Benefits use checkmarks with aria-hidden.
REDESIGNFull-width gradient CTA positioned after social proofRedesign uses a dark gradient background with dual-column layout: benefits left, popular products right. "No commitment · cancel anytime · no hidden fees" appears directly under both CTA buttons — addresses the #1 subscription abandonment reason. Note: current site says 15% off; redesign says 10%. Verify current discount rate before launch.
GEOSpecific details = AI-citable facts"Orders process Wednesdays," "cancel anytime," "10% off every order" — concrete specifics AI assistants cite when answering "how does Earthley's subscription work?" Current site's details are in a separate /learn page, not on the homepage.
SEOSubscription-intent keyword targeting"Subscribe to herbal supplement delivery" is a real search query. This H2 section targets subscription-intent searches separately from product searches. Current site links to a standalone page but doesn't target this keyword on the homepage itself.
ADABoth versions have good ARIA. Redesign adds aria-label on CTAs.Current site's CTA buttons already include sr-only text. Redesign adds explicit aria-label="Start your Subscribe and Thrive subscription" on both buttons. White text on primary gradient verified ≥ 4.5:1 WCAG AA contrast.

CURRENTLive: "Education First" H2 + blog/quiz/herbal profilesCurrent site has an "Education First" section with links to blog, herbal profiles, health quizzes, and a "Shop by Need" assessment tool. The section heading uses a proper H2. Content is interactive (dropdown combobox for health categories) and positioned mid-page.
REDESIGN3-card guide grid with pricing — positioned lowerRedesign shows education as downloadable PDF guides ($5–$8) in a 3-card grid with "Evidence-Cited Guides" eyebrow. Positioned at section 10 intentionally — captures high scroll-depth visitors in research mode without gating product discovery.
GEO"Evidence-cited" = critical E-E-A-T signal"Evidence-cited, sourced guides" distinguishes Earthley from pseudoscience in AI rankings. AI engines evaluate health supplement content heavily on E-E-A-T. Current site says "Education First" but doesn't emphasize the evidence-based nature of the content.
SEOGuide titles = long-tail keyword goldmine"What No One Tells You About Hormone Balance," "What You Need to Know About Measles" — each title targets a high-intent informational query. Apply Article schema to guide pages. These drive organic traffic that converts to product sales.

CURRENTLive: Retail info in footer only + geo-conditional badgeCurrent site shows retail info only in the footer (6903 E Broad St + 320 Outerbelt St). The nav has a geo-conditional store badge that appears when near Columbus. No dedicated homepage section for the retail store — a missed Local SEO opportunity.
REDESIGNDedicated retail section with both locationsRedesign creates a full dark-background section with retail store address + hours (6903 E Broad St, Mon-Sat hours including Sunday) and production/support card (320 Outerbelt St, phone, email, support hours). "Get Directions" and "View Store Page" CTAs.
SEOLocalBusiness schema = critical missing pieceCurrent site has no LocalBusiness schema. "Natural supplement store Columbus Ohio" is a query Earthley should own outright. Redesign enables LocalBusiness + Store schema with full NAP, hours, and geo coordinates for both locations.
GEOAddress + hours as crawlable HTMLAI assistants answer "where can I buy Earthley in person?" and "is Earthley open Sunday?" Current footer has this data but it's not in <address> tags. Redesign wraps both addresses in semantic <address> elements with tel: and mailto: links.
ADA<address> + live phone/email linksCurrent footer uses plain <div> for address info. Redesign uses <address> element, <a href="tel:"> for phone, <a href="mailto:"> for email — tappable on mobile, activates assistive technology call/email actions.
Footer
Footer
CURRENTLive: 6-column CMS-driven footer with social iconsCurrent footer has: Learn, Company, Legal, Blog, Retail Store, Production columns. Social icons (FB, IG, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube) with proper aria-label. Both addresses present. "Privacy Policy" appears twice (duplication). Addresses use <div> instead of <address>. Link groups driven by CMS (Strapi). "Manage Cookies" modal in Legal column.
REDESIGN6-column links + address grid + social barRedesign adds: Shop, Subscribe, Learn, Company, Support, Legal columns. Dedicated address/hours grid with all three contact sections. Social icons in bottom bar. Cert badges (cGMP, FDA Inspected, Made in USA) grouped with support info. Removes duplicate Privacy Policy link.
SEOFooter links = sitewide PageRank distributionBoth versions render on every page. Redesign uses keyword-rich anchor text: "All 140+ Products" instead of generic "Shop." Both addresses = consistent NAP citations reinforcing LocalBusiness schema. Copyright + "Made in America" are crawled as brand trust signals.
GEOBrand entity signals in crawlable text"Made in America," "cGMP Certified," "FDA Inspected" — AI models build brand entity profiles from footer copy. Current site has these but they're in badge images. Redesign uses <span> text elements that are directly indexable.
ADAImproving: <address> tags + <footer aria-label>Current site uses <footer> landmark and <ul> lists (good) but addresses are in <div> tags. Redesign wraps both in <address> elements. Column headings as <h3>. All social icons have aria-label. Legal links section has aria-label.
