Webflow & Shopify E-Commerce – My first mattress

Tools Used: Webflow, Shopify, Figma, GSAP, SEO Optimization, Google Analytics

Create a high-converting, fully responsive e-commerce platform for Mi Primer Colchón to provide customers with an engaging shopping experience while ensuring easy product navigation and seamless purchase flows.

Mi Primer Colchón is a brand dedicated to offering premium-quality mattresses designed to enhance sleep quality. The challenge was to develop an online store that would not only highlight the comfort and craftsmanship behind their products but also improve sales conversions by optimizing the digital experience for users. As a Web Designer and E-commerce Developer, my goal was to create an intuitive, visually appealing site that would draw visitors in and guide them effortlessly through the purchasing process.

The design concept focused on embodying the comfort of Mi Primer Colchón’s products through a minimalist, modern aesthetic. I chose a clean and soft color palette, featuring light grays, whites, and calming blues to evoke a sense of relaxation and ease — the very feeling the brand’s mattresses provide. I used ample whitespace to ensure a clutter-free browsing experience, where the products take center stage.

With a mobile-first approach, the site was designed to be fully responsive across all devices. I optimized for fast loading times and seamless navigation, ensuring that users on smartphones could browse and purchase with ease. Given the increasing number of mobile shoppers, this was critical for maximizing sales and user satisfaction.

High-quality imagery of the mattresses is essential for building trust with customers. Each product page prominently features detailed photos, customer reviews, and an easily accessible purchasing button, all while keeping the layout free of distractions.

Webflow was instrumental in bringing the vision to life. I started with Webflow to prototype and design the layouts, ensuring complete control over every detail, from typography to spacing. Webflow’s flexibility allowed me to create custom layouts that cater specifically to Mi Primer Colchón’s product offerings, making the experience visually rich without overwhelming the user.

Once the visual design was finalized, I moved the project into Shopify for e-commerce functionality. Shopify’s backend provides powerful tools for inventory management, order processing, and customer data analysis, while the front end remains sleek and intuitive thanks to the design work done in Webflow.

One-Click Checkout: I optimized the purchase flow to minimize friction during the checkout process, with features such as one-click checkout and guest purchases.

Dynamic Product Filters: I implemented dynamic filtering, allowing customers to search for mattresses based on size, material, and firmness with ease.

Subtle, well-timed animations were added using GSAP to make the site more interactive without being overwhelming. These include smooth transitions between product images, hover effects on buttons, and animated page loading screens to create a premium feel.

The website features a custom-built navigation menu that is intuitive and efficient. It allows users to browse by mattress type, size, and collection without feeling overwhelmed by options. Clear categorization ensures customers quickly find what they’re looking for, reducing bounce rates and increasing time spent on site.

Each product page is carefully structured to highlight essential information at a glance:

Detailed Product Descriptions: Clearly communicate the product features, materials used, and benefits of each mattress.

Customer Reviews Section: A custom-built review section increases trust by showing genuine customer feedback and star ratings.

Upsell & Cross-Sell Recommendations: Users are shown related products like mattress toppers or pillows, seamlessly integrating cross-sell strategies.

I implemented SEO best practices to enhance visibility on search engines. This includes:

Optimized Meta Tags and Descriptions: Each page was tailored with specific meta titles and descriptions for improved search ranking.

Page Speed Optimization: Images were compressed, and lazy-loading techniques were used to ensure fast page loading, improving both user experience and SEO rankings.

The original Shopify site had a noticeable drop-off rate during the checkout process. To address this, I implemented a streamlined checkout flow with a guest checkout option and minimized the number of fields customers needed to fill in. The result? A reduction in cart abandonment rates by 20%.

Since mattresses are highly tactile products, it was crucial to convey comfort visually. I enhanced the photography by incorporating close-up shots of materials, providing a 360-degree view feature, and pairing each product with detailed descriptions of the feel and firmness, offering the next best thing to trying the product in person.

The final result is a Shopify-powered, highly responsive e-commerce site that perfectly encapsulates the Mi Primer Colchón brand. The site has seen a 30% increase in conversion rates and a 25% improvement in average time spent per session. User feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the clean, user-friendly design and fast checkout process.

Mi Primer Colchón is on a journey of continuous growth, and the digital storefront I built is designed to scale with them. Future updates will include expanded product lines, more interactive features like customer sleep quizzes, and potential integration with AR tools to further enhance the digital shopping experience.
