Apnée believes that beauty comes from within. Knowing that nutrition affects skin’s appearance, the Paris-based brand offers supplements with marine collagen and natural anti-aging active ingredients, to allow women to regain radiant, plump skin.

Apnée approached us to help them launch their eCommerce site.

01Website design and development

To reflect the core values of the brand, we wanted the website to embody beauty, elegance and simplicity. We created a minimalist look inspired by fashion magazines, highlighting Apnée's Parisian roots and vintage imagery.

The finer details were taken into consideration to enhance the experience:

  • Upon scroll, the transparent logo drifts down each page

  • On the homepage, we added a rolling carousel that seamlessly showcases products

  • Videos, iconography and large fonts added more texture and character

  • A stylish Instagram grid gave the effect of polaroids

02Dynamic content

The ingredients inside Apnée's products are the star of the show. So we built a whole page dedicated to the benefits of each key ingredient in their formulas. A fully dynamic layered photo grid with captions was created using content fields in the CMS.

03Subscriptions

We used Swell native subscriptions to support product subscriptions as well as one-off orders. A custom 3PL integration was developed to automate fulfillment.
