Flow & engagement

  • Added Multi-step wishlist builder with 7 screens: hero, 3-question quiz, home-style reveal, category picker, per-room product picker, wishlist summary, contact capture, and success.
  • Added Home-style gamification with 4 styles: Modern Nester, Cozy Host, Bold Statement, Family Hub. Quiz answers score against each style; category order is sorted by style affinity. Pills auto-advance to the next question after a brief celebration animation.
  • Added Bundle pricing logic. Picking 3 or more categories with a product added unlocks an 8% bundle discount (placeholder %, to confirm with Nova before launch).

Forms & conversion

  • Added WhatsApp deep-link submit to +65 8953 7580 with prefilled wishlist summary (name, phone, home style, picks, totals). User taps to send.
  • Added Webhook payload wired into the submit handler with keepalive: true so it survives the WhatsApp redirect. WEBHOOK_URL is a placeholder in index.html awaiting Nova's chosen endpoint.
  • Added SG phone validation on the capture form: requires 8 digits starting with 8 or 9. Inline error states. Name minimum 2 characters.

Visual

  • Added Nova design system anchored on Nova Red #E53935 + Nova Blue #1E40AF, warm cream neutrals, and a gold accent for the "bundle unlocked" celebration moment.
  • Added Typography set on Manrope (display, 700/800) and Inter (body, 400 to 700). Loaded with display=swap and preconnects.
  • Added Motion vocabulary. Cubic-bezier easing across all transitions, scroll-reveal observer on hero, home-style reveal with staggered fade-up, gold pulse when bundle unlocks, success checkmark draw animation. All respect prefers-reduced-motion.

Technical

  • Added Single-file build. The entire experience lives in one index.html with inline CSS and vanilla JS. No framework, no dependencies, no fetch on load.
  • Added Browser history wired via history.pushState and popstate, so the back button navigates the wizard one step at a time.
  • Added GTM scaffold with dataLayer events on every step transition, quiz answer, category toggle, product pick, and submit. Container ID is a placeholder.

SEO/AEO/GEO

  • Added FurnitureStore JSON-LD schema with Nova's name, telephone, hours, and address. OG title, description, and image set (placeholder image flagged).
  • Added noindex headers on /changelog/, /seo-report/, and /redirect-plan/ via vercel.json. The main page is indexable.

Imagery

  • Added Real product photos for all 24 catalog slots, hotlinked from Nova's Shopify CDN (cdn.shopify.com). Pulled directly from /products.json so they stay in sync with the live catalog.
  • Added Real product names and "from" prices from Nova's Shopify catalog. Mattresses display Price in showroom since Nova lists them as request-quote items.
  • Added Image manifest at /img/README.md still listed for the OG image and favicon slots (Nova logo is now live).

Hygiene

  • Added Day-one scaffolds for /changelog/, /seo-report/, and /redirect-plan/ so the reference-docs menu is functional from v0.1.
  • Added Copy hygiene. No em-dashes or en-dashes anywhere in visible copy. No personal-name CTAs (collective voice only).
