Keep
The real visual identity
The hexagons, original card imagery, dark navy and restrained gold give the project a recognisable world. Use actual artwork and product photography as the centre of attention.
01Make it feel discovered,
Make it feel discovered,
not advertised.
A quiet, immersive editorial direction would make the artwork feel more precious and the offer easier to understand.
Simplify
One coherent visual voice
Replace the crowded poster treatment, mismatched pink accents and competing fonts with a consistent system of navy, warm ivory, muted gold, expressive headings and calm body text.

Explain
Reveal the physical idea
Show what makes the product different: 64 hexagonal cards that form connected patterns, accompanied by a storybook. Let a short demonstration explain the relationship between Tarot, Astrology and the I Ching.
Recommended creative promise
A beautiful, approachable introduction to a physical oracle: 64 hexagonal cards and their companion storybook. Keep the gold “Discover the box set” action dominant. A small front-page link offers the free digital story separately; an optional exit offer takes interested visitors to the clearly labelled ebook page, where Benjamin introduces the story. The ebook is not the box set.
Version 2: a fuller alternative
The extended homepage adds an actual box-and-book photograph, a deeper three-tradition introduction, a connected-card illustration with Draw / Place / Reflect steps, a clearer physical-contents panel and a compact FAQ. The original creator photograph, card gallery and restrained midnight/gold direction remain. The ebook offer becomes a distinct recovery path rather than competing with the main product.
Existing product photographs come from the official box-set listing. The Version 2 concept and separate ebook page are local drafts. Version 1 and the current original files remain separate and unchanged.
02
The things that diminish it.
These are specific observations from the live site, followed by the change that would improve the experience.
| Element | What is happening | Recommended change |
|---|---|---|
| The poster-style hero High priority | Much of the opening message is embedded in a large image. A Gemini sparkle watermark is visible. | Build the headline and buttons as real text. Use a clean, original product image with deliberate breathing room; obtain a watermark-free original asset. |
| Pink accents | Active navigation, icons and the cookie panel introduce a colour that competes with the navy-and-gold identity. | Use warm ivory, muted gold and navy consistently. Keep gold mainly for accents and use a darker ink for readable text. |
| The mobile cookie panel High priority | On a 390px-wide screen, the initial panel occupies almost half the screen and obscures the first impression. | Use a compact, readable panel with clear choices and open fuller controls separately. Verify the result on a real narrow viewport. |
| Four competing font families | Mason Serif, Inter, Montserrat and Poppins are present. Inter and Poppins font resources reported load errors in the inspected browser because of cross-origin restrictions. | Choose two core families, load them reliably and remove redundant styles. Retain the Mason logo treatment only if the font licence permits it. |
| The header logo | The inspected header logo is only about 40 × 49px, leaving the identity difficult to read. | Use a clean wordmark with a small hexagonal emblem. Make the wordmark legible without taking over the mobile header. |
| Testimonials and repeated selling | Two testimonial sections and repeated buying prompts interrupt the story. The Anna Baxter research quote and Jorja “real deal” quote have conflicting attributions between the .au and .com sites. | Verify the names against the original endorsements. Create one strong proof section with the supplied review and a few accurately attributed testimonials. Repeat the main purchase action at meaningful decision points. |
| Gold body text | Readability varies as gold text moves between different backgrounds. | Use navy on ivory and ivory on navy for the main content. Check text contrast, visible focus and buttons at each background transition. |
| Hype-heavy copy | Dense all-caps passages and phrases such as “game-changing”, “BIG three” and “level up” compete with the tone of the artwork. Strong historical and scarcity claims need support. | Use measured, specific copy that describes the object and experience. Remove unsupported “first in history” claims and keep availability statements tied to actual stock. |
| “Best seller” in Version 2 User-requested draft copy | The new badge is included in the local Version 2 design at the user’s request. A bestselling claim has not been independently substantiated by this research. | Confirm the sales basis and the context in which the claim is true before publishing it on the live website. This is a draft marketing element, not a verified retailer ranking. |
| Footer destinations High priority | The inspected About, Terms, Privacy and Cookie links use href="#" rather than actual destinations. | Connect About to the real page and provide the applicable policy pages. Check every footer destination before publishing. |
| Hover-only card discovery | The gallery reveal relies on hovering and does not offer an equivalent keyboard interaction. | Make each card a focusable control. Support touch, keyboard and screen-reader labels, with visible focus and an explicit close action. |
| Old event promotion | A May 2026 masterclass remains in the site material, although the review date is October 2026. | Show current bookable events only. Move past events to an archive, or use a genuine interest form when no dates are confirmed. |
| Inconsistent product details Resolve before launch | Page counts differ: 365 on the homepage, 345 on About and one postage listing, 328 on a direct-sale listing, and 350 at Collins. | Confirm the actual edition and contents with Benjamin, then make one product specification consistent across the website and stockists. Do not guess which count is correct. |
| Split purchase path | The linked shop separates a direct-sale product and a “with postage” product. Both reviewed listings show $117, which leaves the distinction unclear. | Use one product page with clear fulfilment choices and shipping information at checkout. Confirm live pricing and delivery terms before implementing. |
| The free ebook and the physical cards | The free ebook is a $0 “Add to cart” digital item. A prominent free offer can blur the distinction between the story and the physical oracle box set. | Keep the box-set buttons visually dominant and the direct ebook link small. The exit offer should invite a clear “Yes” before showing the ebook pitch page and Benjamin’s video. Explain that the ebook is a digital story sample, not the box set, and includes no cards or physical companion storybook. |
| Page weight and plugin assets | The inspected homepage references 33 stylesheets and 20 scripts, alongside a decorative PNG of about 1.97MB. | Reduce unused assets, resize and compress imagery, and load social video only on request. Measure the rebuilt page; no Lighthouse score was established in this review. |

Make the experience special.
The memorable interactions should grow out of the cards and the system. Keep them subtle, purposeful and usable.
01 · THE OPENING REVEAL
Let the cards connect.
Use a brief, slow arrangement of real hexagonal cards to reveal the connected structure. On mobile, show a stable composition first. Honour reduced-motion settings and avoid delaying access to the page.
02 · A SMALL INVITATION
Discover an archetype.
Let visitors choose one of three or six real cards and open a short, carefully written interpretation. Give it a clear label as a sample; keep it available by keyboard and touch. Link naturally to the guidebook.
03 · AN OBJECT IN THE HAND
Show how it feels.
Film hands placing cards, turning a card and opening the box and companion storybook. A quiet 15–25 second demonstration would explain the material product better than additional promotional paragraphs.
04 · THREE WISDOMS
Trace one relationship.
Use a simple three-part explainer for Tarot, Astrology and the I Ching, then show one authorised example of how they meet in a card. The teaching should come from Benjamin’s own explanations.
05 · A HUMAN MOMENT
Hear from the creator.
Place a real portrait beside a short account of Benjamin’s background. An optional, captioned 30–45 second introduction can establish warmth and purpose without making the entire page a video.
06 · LIGHT AND TEXTURE
Use atmosphere with restraint.
Try a very faint paper texture, a slow light shift on a card edge or a fine gold hexagonal rule. Keep text still and readable. Avoid busy starfields, cursor trails, constant parallax or decorative sound.
The detail that could make it unforgettable
A visitor places a card; another card connects; a meaningful pattern becomes visible. That is a direct expression of the product itself, and a stronger signature than generic mystical effects.
05The creator deserves
The creator deserves
a real presence.
Lead with Benjamin’s storytelling background, the work behind the system and a genuine portrait. Separate established credits from his own account of the project.
Portrait recommendation
Benjamin, smiling.
The creation in his hands.
This is the strongest current direction for the creator section: a welcoming expression, recognisable face and a direct connection to the physical object. The newly supplied photograph gives the section a clear portrait without relying on a cutout from an event advertisement.
Current image choice: use the original photograph provided by the user, shown here and in the homepage concept. The previously rejected, AI-marked website portrait remains excluded. No change has been made to Benjamin’s face, hands or the card in this source image.
The 4:5 page frame removes excess space above and below while preserving his face, card and hands; it does not alter the saved photograph. A clean image of Benjamin working with the cards would be a useful second asset. This research does not claim to have inspected every Google Images result.
Suggested website section · 90-word biography
The storyteller
behind the oracle.
Benjamin Rose is the creator of The Creatrix Prophecy, a divination system that brings Tarot, Astrology and the I Ching into a single visual language. His professional background is in screen storytelling: Ronin Films credits him as a writer, director and producer, with work across Australian television and film. Decades in the making, The Creatrix pairs 64 hexagonal archetype cards with a companion storybook. Through symbolic images and interconnected patterns, Rose invites readers to explore life’s cycles, reflect on their experience and discover new ways of seeing themselves and others.
Suggested editorial copy, grounded in Ronin Films’ Benjamin Rose biography, the author’s own About page and the Collins event description.
Established screen background
Ronin Films identifies Benjamin as a writer, director and producer. Its biography names Australian television work including G.P., Corelli, Heartlands and Echo Point, and film work including On the Edge and Over the Edge.
Author and creator in Sydney
Benjamin’s public Facebook intro identifies him as the author of The Creatrix Prophecy and a digital creator, living in and from Sydney. His Skool profile also lists Sydney and identifies him as author and creator.
Decades in the making
The official About page gives a personal development story, including a 1991 concept and completion in 2024. Its “35 years” wording is not fully consistent with those dates. “Decades in the making” is the sounder published phrasing until the timeline is confirmed.
Claims to verify before featuring
The site’s account of a decade with Good Medicine, 15 years of SAFTV work and a Paul Bailey collaboration needs further corroboration if used as prominent credentials. Do not add “award-winning” or a formal spiritual-teacher title without a reliable basis.

How these links should appear on the site
Give visitors the official shop, current stockists and canonical social profiles. Feature a few relevant external references beside the claims they support. Keep historical events clearly dated.
A strong creator section needs a clean portrait, a concise story and verifiable credits. An exhaustive collection of badges and outgoing links would dilute that story.
07
The extended homepage.
The physical box set remains the main offer. Visitors can explore the product in more depth, while a small optional ebook route serves those interested in the digital story. Benjamin’s ebook video appears only after that interest is expressed.
A spacious, card-first opening
Real card artwork, a short headline and clear physical-product language. The gold “Discover the box set” button is the primary action. “Free ebook · digital story only” is a small secondary link beneath the main actions. The requested “Best seller” badge is draft copy pending sales substantiation.
Understand the three traditions
Brief introductions explain the role of Tarot, Astrology and I Ching without overwhelming the visitor with philosophy or unsupported predictions.
See the physical product
Show the existing box-and-book photograph from the official shop. Describe the verified 64 hexagonal cards and physical companion storybook. Keep conflicting page counts and unverified dimensions out of the concept.
See how the cards connect
Use the genuine connected-card artwork and three simple introductory steps: Draw, Place, Reflect. This illustrates the object and a way to explore it; the companion storybook provides the deeper teaching.
Discover the artwork
The existing gallery opens larger views by touch, keyboard or mouse. A faint gold border and glow add atmosphere while the artwork remains the focus. No fabricated card interpretations or predictions are added.
A real reader’s first impression
The supplied Amelia review gives a grounded perspective on the imagery and hexagonal structure, with attribution and a direct link to the original reel.
Meet Benjamin through the real photograph
The original photograph supplied by the user shows the creator holding his creation. His established screen storytelling background supports the biography; his personal philosophical interests are framed through his own project account. The ebook video stays off this page.
Answer practical questions
A compact FAQ covers the physical format, hexagonal arrangement, three traditions and companion storybook. Current price and delivery details are referred to the official shop rather than invented in the draft.
Finish with the physical box set
A final gold “Discover the box set” button reinforces the same product destination. The verified Collins listing remains a modest stockist link.
An optional ebook recovery route
After roughly 10 seconds on desktop, moving the pointer out through the top of the page can show a once-per-session “Before you leave” offer. Yes opens the separate digital-only ebook page with Benjamin’s controlled, non-autoplay video. No thanks, the close button and Escape dismiss the offer; focus returns to the prior control. Buying clicks suppress the automatic prompt. Mobile visitors use an explicit small footer offer button. The ebook remains clearly separate from the oracle cards and physical box set.
First
Fix the credibility gaps
Replace the poster and watermarked assets; correct footer links, old events, conflicting product details and unclear checkout wording.
Next
Build a visual system
Use two fonts, consistent colours, larger readable text, genuine imagery and one coherent path through the page.
Then
Add the signature moment
Create the connecting-card reveal, accessible archetype sample and attributed review feature. Measure mobile speed after the rebuild.
