  • Food & Nutrition

    Aardelia’s digital templates all started as a result of my life changing diagnosis.

    Adapting to living with a health condition will include assessing your diet.

    Nutrition is one, if not the biggest factor you may be able to control in moving forward.

    Included are some basic whole foods with Independent UK nutritional analysis.

    I have added a list of Charities & Organisations, many of which include diet information specific to a diagnosis.

  • Curious about Sustainability?

    A beginners starting point, an introduction to become more Eco aware.

    Read our summaries on The Circular Economy and Cradle to Cradle, and their differences.

    Avoid ‘Greenwashing’. For awareness I have listed a number of Environmental Accreditations to look out for.

    Read about sustainable materials that we can choose to help with a sustainable future.

CHATGPT IDEAS FOR THE NEW DESIGN

1. Home

Purpose: Orientation + trust, not selling everything.

Should do only 4 things:

  • State who Aardelia is for

  • State the problem you solve

  • Show 2–3 clear paths

  • Say “this is not hype”

Think:

Simple tools for food, health, and everyday systems — designed for people who need clarity, not noise.

Three soft CTAs:

  • Explore the Journal

  • Learn about Food

  • Why Sustainability matters here

2. About

This is where your breadth becomes a strength.

Sub-sections (not nav items):

  • Why Aardelia exists

  • Health, recovery & everyday overwhelm

  • Design philosophy (minimal, low-waste, low-friction)

  • Your stance on sustainability (quiet, practical)

This page justifies why:

  • Journals

  • Food

  • Equipment

  • Sustainability
    …belong together.

3. Digital (Your Commercial Engine)

This is key: group all templates here, not by type.

Digital (landing page)

Explains:

“These are tools to help you organise what matters, without complexity.”

Subpages:

  • Journals

    • Free / Basic Journal

    • Full Health & Food Journal (paid)

  • Business Templates (later)

  • Cookbook / Food Systems (later)

Important:

  • Even if Business & Cookbook aren’t live, they can say “Coming next”.

  • This signals direction without clutter.

4. Food (Your SEO & Trust Engine)

This is where your organic traffic strategy lives.

Structure it cleanly:

Food

  • Overview: “Simple foods, explained calmly”

  • Food Groups

    • Vegetables (5)

    • Fruits (5)

    • Animal Foods (5)

    • Pulses & Legumes (5)

    • Oils & Fats (5)

    • Nuts & Seeds (5)

Each food page:

  • Stands alone for SEO

  • Links softly to the Journal

  • Optionally links to equipment or cooking notes

This section should never feel salesy.

5. Sustainability (Reframe, Don’t Delete)

This is where I’d adjust your current content.

Instead of:

“Here are 8 pages about circular economy & materials”

Make it:

“How Aardelia thinks about sustainability”

Subpages:

  • Design principles

  • Materials & longevity

  • Circular thinking (light)

  • Cradle to Cradle (optional depth page)

Then link back:

  • From Food → sustainability choices

  • From Products → durability logic

  • From About → philosophy

This prevents it feeling like a disconnected academic wing.

6. Contact

Keep it boring and easy.

  • Contact form

  • Email

  • Small line about collaboration or feedback

That’s it.
