High Converting Design Inspiration
This is what happens when you stop leading with discounts… and start leading with belief.
Here's how I'd CRO optimise Ritual 👇
Not redesign for aesthetics. Optimise for clarity, trust, and revenue.
1️⃣ Homepage: Optimise The First 5 Seconds

Before:
40% OFF dominated the hierarchy
Multiple promo messages competing
Brand positioning diluted
After:
Controlled sale strip (still there, just not overpowering)
Trust score anchored high
Clear science led headline: "Supplements That Show Their Work"
Outcome driven subheading
One dominant CTA
CRO principle: Lead with belief → reinforce with proof → then sell.
2️⃣ PDP: Reduce Cognitive Load

Before:
Good visuals
But benefit hierarchy was soft
Subscription value not fully emphasised
After:
Reviews surfaced immediately
Bold, scannable benefit stack
Outcome keywords highlighted
Subscription framed as smart value
Cleaner decision structure
CRO principle: Make the decision obvious.
3️⃣ Cart: Remove Hesitation At The Money Moment

Before:
Incentives layered and visually noisy
Savings logic slightly overwhelming
CTA competing with other elements
After:
One clear savings progress bar
Upsells structured cleanly
Savings clearly surfaced
Strong, dominant "Checkout Securely" CTA
Trust cues properly placed
CRO principle: The cart should increase momentum, not introduce doubt.
This isn't a redesign. It's hierarchy, psychology, and friction removal. That's optimisation.
What else would YOU be testing here?
Even More Design Inspiration

Lead generation done right feels safe, simple, and clear.
Here's what most lead gen funnels get wrong: They jump straight into forms. They feel cold and transactional. They forget users are skeptical before they even start.
Whether it's finance, health, legal, or home services… If trust isn't built first, conversions suffer.
Here's how we rebuilt this qualification flow at ConversionWise:
1️⃣ Intent Led Top Bar
"Free Qualification — See If You Qualify Today"
Sets expectations and lowers resistance immediately
2️⃣ Security & Legitimacy Cues
"Secure & Private" reassurance above the fold
Critical for any personal information capture
4.9/5 rating from real customers
Builds trust before asking questions
4️⃣ Outcome Driven Headline
Focused on the result, not the process
People want solutions, not steps
5️⃣ Clear Qualification Framing
Defines who it's for
Improves lead quality and filters noise
6️⃣ Guided Multi Step Flow
Progress indicator reduces overwhelm
Makes the form feel manageable
7️⃣ High Contrast CTA
Clear "Next" button with strong visual hierarchy
No friction. No confusion.
8️⃣ Reinforced Core Benefits
Simple payment
No drastic alternatives
Reduce what you owe by up to 50%
Addresses the biggest objections upfront
