Building an intuitive gift guide

You’ve probably heard of theSkimm — a media startup that began as a daily newsletter geared towards young women. No longer just a newsletter, theSkimm needed help with their interactive holiday gift guide, and Edgar Allan stepped in to take on the no-code build.
What we did
Webflow Build

Making the list, checking it twice

There were a few technical constraints and must-haves that made theSkimm’s holiday gift guide a more complicated build than it seemed on the surface. The gift list was constantly changing, which meant there needed to be an easy way to update individual items as needed.

Prepare the gifts

There also needed to be a smart filter that visitors could interact with to show them just the items that met their ideal gift criteria, and these components had to work seamlessly within the browser.

The solution: Airtable content management with Parabola syncing everything into Webflow. For the filter, we implemented Jetboost, along with a separate library to concatenate the lists.

Wrapped up in a bow

Deceptively simple on the surface, the gift guide project ended up with a technically sophisticated build. We also built in analytics tracking so that theSkimm would have great data moving forward. The project was completed on a tight deadline, just before a busy holiday season, and was built in time to be featured in the newsletter.

Ruby Star Society

Ruby Star Society designs fabric for modern quilters, but what they really do is manufacture confidence for amateur makers with big, creative dreams. We took the ladies of Ruby Star from start to finish, with brand-building and visual identity creation to a finished web presence that explodes with color and lady-boss vibes.

Jogger.wtf ?

Jogger was a collaboration between Edgar Allan, Atlanta artists, and Monday Night Brewing. We created the brand, managed the go-to-market, and even jogged the 5k.

Loblolly

Loblolly is a direct-to-consumer bed-in-a-box company that started as a brand sprint and grew to include a responsive web build and eventual day-to-day go-to-market execution.
