The goal: bring the books’ personality into the website and connect discovery with a clearer next step to shop. Sweet Impact paired design and hands-on implementation with a coordinated set of creative assets.

01 · First impression + navigation

Put the characters at the heart of the brand.

Before · Published October 15, 2024
Original website homepage with patterned green masthead and two-row menu
After · Website captured November 12, 2026
Refreshed homepage with character-led brand banner and separate navigation bar

A cohesive visual introduction

A bright, character-led banner and coordinated backgrounds replaced the patterned masthead, connecting the website to the world of the books.

A distinct navigation bar

The existing page categories were retained and presented in a single horizontal row, separate from the artwork. The author’s welcome remained part of the experience.

02 · Homepage shopping + process flow

Bring the product and the next action together.

Before · Book photo, copy and “Shop Now”
Original Pickle book section with photograph and Shop Now button
After · Product image, price and “Buy Now”
Updated Pickle book section with refreshed product image, price, character and Buy Now button

Sweet Impact refreshed product imagery and reworked the homepage shopping sections with product widgets and direct-to-cart purchase actions. Visitors can add a book without first opening a separate product-detail page.

Screenshots show the same book section at two points in the project. Prices and availability shown are historical.

03 · Creative brought to life

More than a static refresh.

Animated character GIFs

Created character animations and placed them alongside homepage products, with staggered movement and spacing designed to complement the book imagery.

A coordinated launch experience

A dedicated new-release banner and preorder product section extend the visual system to What’s the Big Dill in Pickleton?

Short-form video

The preorder creative brings the character into motion with a playful, wordless jingle. Watch the original short below.
