Scene 01The problem

A brand with more than thirty years of history and eight different lines, from children's teas to functional blends.

The site had to present them one by one and lead people to the stores that sell them.

Scene 02The technical choice

  1. Shot 01

    From scratch

    The theme starts from the agency starter, WordPress with webpack, and I built it: 21 templates, from the homepage to the ingredients page.

  2. Shot 02

    Lines as worlds

    Every line has its own page and, where needed, a dedicated template: the functional line, the children's line, accessories and gift ideas.

  3. Shot 03

    Measured motion

    Smooth scrolling with Lenis, menu and cursor animations; hero and product animated together with a designer on the team.

  4. Shot 04

    Store locator

    The map of retailers with filters, designed for phones too.

  5. Shot 05

    Modular landing pages

    A page builder for product and campaign landing pages, still used by the team for webinars and initiatives.
