I'm not sure how would you like author to address that. If a user is not able to navigate any computer, he won't even reach the course or any advertisement. He needs at least some help to start out.

Also, to be fair, the site has a clear video that shows step-by-step process of ... purchasing the course.

I think our senior population changes and there are plenty of them that had contact with desktop and touchscreen devices, but get easily confused and can't keep up with updates. I know many such people and would love something like that, but translated.

Yes, exactly, thank you.

A print book would be a fine way to address the problem. While this book won’t be able to show video, it could still do a lot with text and screenshots. And then, videos could be moved into the companion app.
