Overview ↘

Joseph Abell is a high-protein recipe creator with a large social audience. The website was created to turn that reach into a focused product experience for his digital cookbook bundle.

I designed and developed the complete sales journey: the responsive website in Framer, a custom-coded upsell page, the funnel in GoHighLevel, checkout integration and analytics tracking. I also connected every part into one continuous system.

The Challenge ↘

Turning audience attention into a clear path to purchase

The offer included multiple cookbooks, bonuses, recipe categories and supporting benefits. The challenge was to explain that value without overwhelming visitors or making the page feel like a catalogue.

The experience also needed to work as one connected system: introduce the product in Framer, move users through checkout, continue into a custom upsell page and keep the GoHighLevel funnel and tracking synchronized.

CRO: Recipe Value ↘

Making healthy eating feel affordable, satisfying and achievable

To strengthen conversion, I added a recipe preview block that shows the calories, protein, preparation time and price per serving for each dish. Instead of relying on a general promise, the section makes the cookbook’s value measurable: visitors can see how it helps them eat tasty high-protein meals, support their weight-loss goals and spend less without following an overly restrictive diet.

Checkout & Funnel ↘

Connecting checkout, upsell and GoHighLevel

The checkout separates contact and billing details from the order summary, while the custom-coded upsell page extends the purchase journey. Both were connected to the GoHighLevel funnel and integrated with the Framer website as one system.

Post-Purchase Experience ↘

Extending the funnel beyond the initial checkout

After checkout, the custom-coded upsell page presents an additional recipe-library subscription with clear pricing, value framing and a low-friction decline option. The final thank-you page confirms the order, explains where access instructions will arrive and provides a direct support contact.

CRO Decisions ↘

  1. 01

    Make the bundle value immediate

    The opening screen explains the cookbook bundle, free bonuses and total value before asking users to continue.

  2. 02

    Turn product content into proof

    Recipe previews, benefits and cookbook details help visitors understand exactly what they receive.

  3. 03

    Repeat one consistent action

    The same purchase action returns after key information and trust-building sections.

  4. 04

    Place proof before objections

    Reviews, usage numbers and the founder story build confidence before the FAQ and checkout.

  5. 05

    Keep checkout focused

    A dedicated checkout removes the long-form sales narrative and concentrates on contact, payment and order summary.

Favicon ↘

A recognizable brand mark at browser scale

I adapted the JA monogram and Joseph Abell’s yellow brand palette into a compact favicon that remains clear and recognizable in browser tabs and bookmarks.
