TRANSCRIPT
Frog SleepUI/UX, Web Design, Front End Development
The goal of this project was to provide a landing
page to promote sales of the Frog mattress.
It needs to be user friendly, responsive and
highlight what makes Frog unique from other
bed in a box matresses.
Frog is a high-quality, environmentally friendly and allergen free mattress that’s handmade in Canada. Frog uses only the highest quality organic and natural ingredients.
01 ResearchThe first step was to look into Frog’s competition to see what was
working for other bed in a box mattress brands. By searching the
websites of leading competitors, I learned what should be included
on the landing page to make it successful.
A comment element on the competitors websites was that they
all offered free shipping and a 100-night trial. This needed to be
prominently displayed on the landing page.
I also took note of the look and feel of competitor websites. They
all had a lot of white space, clean typography and soft, welcoming
imagery of bedrooms and mattresses. This helped outline a feel for
the design of the landing page.
02 Landing Page StructureOnce the initial research was complete, the next step in the process
was to lay out the structure of the page using wireframes.
The landing page would consist of different sections that all have
a call to action button that leads to the purchase section. Each
section would highlight a feature of the Frog mattress that makes it
a unique product worth purchasing.
The purchase section would feature a dropdown that lets the
customer choose what size mattress they want. Once selected, it
would lead to a secure checkout page via PayPal.
Any additional information like shipping information and warranty
details would appear in a modal to prevent the page from getting
cluttered with too much text.
Wireframe Sketch
The FROG landing page consists
of different sections. Each section
would have either a button that
scrolls down to the purchase section
or opens a modal that provides
additional, detailed information.
03 Design CreationThe next step in the project was to create a high fidelity design
mockup for the landing page to send over to the client for approval.
The colours for the page were chosen to have an nice, earthy and
comforting feel, with a pop of orange and teal from the logo to add
excitement. The entire site was designed using a lot of white space,
clean sans serif typography and very cozy looking images to make
the user feel relaxed and ready to curl up on a brand new mattress.
The site also used these soft, earthy tones to help promote
that FROG was environmentally friendly, a unique feature that
distinguishes this mattress from any other competitors.

04 DevelopmentOnce the concept was approved by the client and all copy was
finalized, the landing page was ready to be coded.
Frog is built using html5 and css3, with some jQuery scripts for any
modals. It is based off the Bootstrap framework to ensure that the
site is responsive to all devices. This allows customers to have an
optimal experience purchasing a new mattress no matter what
device they are on.
