“Audrey did an outstanding job bringing my website to life. Her attention to detail, creativity, and care for the project really show in the final product. I’m genuinely thrilled with both her work and the site we created together.”
My Christmas Candle
Meaningful. anchored. tradition.
The founder envisioned a space that reflected the soul of their story — one rooted in family, light, and love. The goal was to create a website that felt as comforting and magical as Christmas itself, while offering an effortless way to purchase the book and its companion candle.
The result is a refined, emotive e-commerce experience that blends storytelling, craftsmanship, and clarity — transforming a simple product into a heartfelt ritual.
The Approach
The design was guided by presence, rhythm, and restraint. Every decision — from copy pacing to visual composition — followed the quiet logic of candlelight: warm, steady, and timeless.
A key focus was maintaining a poetic tone without overwhelming the purchasing journey. Storytelling and commerce were carefully balanced so the site could feel enchanting while remaining intuitive and practical for seasonal shoppers.
Content & Structure
The homepage unfolds like a storybook.
It opens with a glowing hero section and flows naturally through chapters dedicated to The Story, The Keepsake, Gifting Meaningful Traditions, Countdown to Christmas, and Testimonials.
Each section was intentionally shaped to build emotional resonance and trust, gently guiding visitors toward a single, clear action — purchasing the book and candle set — without urgency or pressure.
Visual & Interactive Design
The visual direction draws inspiration from candlelit evenings and quiet Christmas moments by the fire.
Design highlights include:
Gold-on-dark contrasts for warmth and depth
Poetic typography pairings that support both lyricism and readability
Full-width imagery capturing intimacy, glow, and presence
Subtle scroll animations and a live countdown to heighten anticipation
Layered storytelling through harmony between text and imagery
The atmosphere feels cinematic yet familiar — emotionally grounded, never decorative.
Technical & Functional Enhancements
Built on Shopify, the site integrates full e-commerce functionality with carefully optimized product pages for the book, the candle, and the bundled offering.
Key technical elements include:
Custom CSS refinements for spacing, color balance, and hover states
Fully responsive layouts across all devices
Integrated countdown timer and newsletter signup
Streamlined checkout flow designed to remove friction at the final step
The technical structure supports the emotional narrative rather than competing with it.
