UI/UX Recommendations

Three layout formats for Sumay's homepage, each engineered for a distinct pace of reading.

Each option shows the recommended sitemap (System-Led) rendered in the recommended brand (Editorial Warmth) — the only variable is layout density and interaction register.

Context
All three formats assume the approved brand direction and sitemap. This page is specifically about how content is organized on the page, pace of scroll, and interaction density.
Prepared by Epirco for  Sumay Date  April 2026 Confidential
Option 01 — Minimal

Slow pace, enormous whitespace, one idea per viewport.

A homepage that asks the visitor to breathe. Each section occupies its own screen. The brand's confidence is expressed through restraint.

sumay.co
The Sumay System

Skincare begins inside.

An oral protocol plus a topical ritual. Together, they are a system. Apart, they are incomplete. Begin with the quiz.

Start the quiz
El Sistema

The inside, and then the outside.

Most skincare treats the symptom. Sumay treats the structure. We begin with what you put in — a formulated oral supplement that works at the collagen level — and close with what you apply on top. The distinction between a regimen and a system is where the results live.

Inside

Outside
Topical ritual
Rituales

The complete protocol.

Featured — 8-week complete system
La Ciencia

Clinical evidence. No adjectives.

Each formulation is studied at concentration, tested for skin penetration, and held against comparator products before it ships. The research lives at la ciencia — open to every customer, cited to every claim.

"Three weeks in, my skin felt different before it looked different. That's when I understood what Sumay meant by a system."

From the journal.

When this format works

  • Positions Sumay at the very top of the premium tier — restraint reads as confidence.
  • Reduces cognitive load. Each section makes one claim, memorably.
  • Strongest brand equity build per scroll.
  • Mobile experience is excellent — each section is a natural mobile screen.

When it doesn't

  • Conversion density is lowest — fewer product touchpoints per scroll.
  • Andrea (Segment C — "just tell me what to buy") may leave before reaching products.
  • Requires strong organic and editorial content engine to sustain traffic.
  • Not well-suited to paid traffic landing pages — too slow.
Option 02 — Editorial RECOMMENDED

Magazine-paced, mixed grid, considered motion.

A homepage that reads like a premium magazine. Asymmetric layouts, varied section heights, editorial storytelling — without sacrificing the commercial work each section has to do.

The Sumay System

The ritual is the result.

Skincare that begins inside and closes on top. An 8-week protocol designed around your biology, not a trend cycle.

Editorial still-life treatment
El Sistema

Inside, then outside.
Never in reverse.

01

The oral protocol

Two capsules at breakfast, every day. The formulation works at the collagen level, repairing the matrix from beneath. Three weeks in, your skin has already begun to change — before any serum has touched it.

02

The topical ritual

The topical, when it comes, is the final fifteen percent. A three-step evening ritual designed to close what the oral protocol has opened. Slow, deliberate, domestic in feel — never rushed.

La Ciencia
"We held our retinal formulation against five comparator products at equivalent concentration. The difference in irritation was 93%. The difference in penetration was 2.4x. These are not marketing claims. They are internal panel data."
Dr. Mariana López — Founder, Sumay
Nuestra Historia

Born in Bogotá. Formulated for skin everywhere.

Dr. Mariana López founded Sumay after twelve years practicing dermatology in Colombia. She was tired of recommending skincare that only worked on the surface. Sumay is what happens when a dermatologist decides to build the system herself — cold-processed in Bogotá, tested in her own clinic, shipped to women who wanted the structure treated, not just the symptom.

Why this is the recommendation

  • Balances the three personas without narrowing any — Valentina sees ritual, Camila sees science, Andrea sees clear product paths.
  • Mixed-grid layout creates pace and rhythm, preventing the homepage from reading as a list.
  • Editorial pull-quote section builds brand equity and cite-worthiness for AI search.
  • Ritual cards give commercial work inside a magazine aesthetic — conversion without pressure.
  • Lab section signals the content strategy Sumay will build over 12 to 24 months.

Considerations

  • Heavier build than Minimal — more components to design, develop, and test.
  • Requires ongoing editorial content velocity to keep the Lab section alive.
  • Asymmetric layouts require photography direction investment from day one.
Option 03 — Bold

Dense, conversion-forward, pronounced motion and CTAs.

A homepage engineered for velocity. Multiple CTAs per view, product-first, social proof high, optimized for paid-traffic landing and fast decisions.

Sumay Editorial

Join the ritual.

Weekly editorial on skin, science, and the inside + outside system. Plus early access to new formulations.

When this format works

  • Highest conversion density per scroll — best for paid-traffic landing.
  • Serves Andrea (Segment C) directly — fast path to product, social proof high.
  • Easier to launch — components are conventional e-commerce patterns.
  • Supports aggressive promotional calendar (badges, urgency, discount tags).

When it doesn't

  • Risks undercutting Sumay's premium positioning — reads closer to D2C average than editorial luxury.
  • Competes against much larger D2C spenders on their terms (urgency, discount) rather than Sumay's.
  • Makes brand equity work harder to accomplish — less narrative real estate.
  • Camila (Segment B — science-led) may find the register promotional rather than credible.

Side-by-side decision matrix.

The three formats compared on ten UX and commercial dimensions. Option 02 is Epirco's recommendation.

Dimension 01 Minimal 02 Editorial RECOMMENDED 03 Bold
Scroll pace Very slow — one idea per viewport Fast — dense per viewport
Interaction density Very low — one CTA per section High — multiple CTAs per viewport
Primary persona fit Valentina (Segment A) Andrea (Segment C)
Conversion per session Low High
Brand equity per scroll Very High Medium
Best for traffic type Organic, editorial, referral Paid landing, promotional
AOV pressure Low — system bundle prominent High — bestsellers and discounts
Content engine required Medium — editorial cadence Low — promotional + product-led
Mobile experience Excellent — one-section-per-screen reads naturally Good — dense but scannable
Implementation effort Light — few components Medium — conventional patterns
Epirco's recommendation
Option 02 — Editorial. It's the only format that serves all three personas without narrowing any, and the only one that lets Sumay operate at premium positioning while still doing commercial work per scroll. Minimal over-indexes on brand equity at the expense of velocity. Bold over-indexes on conversion at the expense of positioning. Editorial is the commercially disciplined middle — one that compounds brand equity and revenue simultaneously.
