Black Friday 2026 is a BIG deal with HUGE online specials

<!-- ============================================================================ Bob Shop — Black Friday 2026 "Lead Up" / early access Landing page ID 94 · content from "Lead Up Website Design_OP2.pdf"

BEFORE THIS GOES LIVE — one thing still open (marked TODO below):

LEARN MORE Resolved: the CTA pointed at the dropped 2025 competition post and was removed outright on review, rather than repointed — there is no 2026 Black Friday post to aim at.

1. FORM TITLE The 2026 Google Form is wired up correctly, but its *visible* title is still "Black Friday 2025" / "Black Friday 2024 landing page entries". Respondents never see it (we POST into a hidden iframe) but it is worth renaming.

HERO HEIGHT — A DELIBERATE TRADE-OFF

The hero shows the artwork uncropped so the model's shoes (which sit at y=701, flush with the bottom edge) are not cut. That makes it 702px tall at a 1920 viewport, which pushes the "Mzansi," heading below the fold on viewports shorter than ~950px. Chosen knowingly.

If a shorter hero is ever wanted without losing the shoes, the lever is a WIDER source image, not a taller box: at 2560x702 the same artwork needs only a 526px hero at 1920 with nothing cropped. Extending the "Early access" ribbons programmatically was tried and rejected — the backdrop is a horizontal gradient and the ribbon text is not periodic, so copied blocks leave visible seams and a colour cast. It needs a real re-export: same composition at 2560x702, ribbons continuing to both edges, model and wordmark staying put in the middle 1920px.

NOTES FOR WHOEVER EDITS THIS NEXT

· The admin pretty-prints this HTML on save and puts adjacent tags on their own lines. Every element boundary therefore gains a newline that collapses to a space. Where a space is wanted that is harmless, but punctuation directly after a tag gets pushed away from the word it belongs to. Keep trailing punctuation INSIDE its element — the comma after "2026" lives inside the for exactly this reason, and .bf26-mzansi is display:flex for the same underlying cause.

· The site's own .container makes this wrapper display:flex/row, which collapses every section to shrink-to-fit. The .bf26 rule forces display:block back on — don't remove it or the layout falls apart.

· img.bobshop.co.za is ImageKit. The bare URL serves a 1200px downscale, which is why the hero looked soft. Always request an explicit width. The stored master is now 3840x1404 (a 2x render of the supplied 1920x702 art); see the note at the for why, and for which widths carry q-90.

· Hero crop safe area, in 1920x702 source coordinates: model + wordmark x 280-1330, y 60-545 The hero holds a constant 510px height (so the sides clip as the window narrows) until 65vw drops below that, at which point it scales instead — that threshold is what keeps "BLACK FRIDAY" from ever being cut. object-position 30%/20% biases the crop toward the model and wordmark.

· The two big background JPEGs (block1 254 KB + tiles 214 KB) are gone. Both were a flat gradient plus fine paper grain, so they are now a CSS gradient with one shared 8 KB seamless grain tile overlaid — 468 KB down to 8 KB. The tile was built by spectral synthesis from the original artwork (its power spectrum, randomised phase), which is what makes it repeat without a seam. Strength is the ::before opacity, not the file.

· Brand colour is the site's own --tangerine (#ff6a02), referenced as a var with a fallback so it tracks any future change to the design system. ============================================================================ --> <!-- Onest is loaded only by this landing page, and this link sits in the body (the CMS puts all content there), so it is discovered late.

display=block rather than swap: the text waits briefly for the real font instead of painting in a fallback and visibly re-flowing once Onest arrives. Preconnect shortens that wait.

Keep the wght@100..900 range. Listing the four weights the page uses looks tighter but is far worse: the range returns ONE variable font (1 file, 33 KB for latin), the explicit list returns four static faces (4 files, 132 KB). Measured, not assumed. -->

<!-- MASTER IS 3840x1404 AND LOSSLESS. Two things were wrong before:

1. The master was a pre-compressed JPEG. ImageKit re-encodes on the fly (AVIF via f-auto), so that stacked two lossy passes — 31.41 dB against the supplied art. From a lossless master the same transform measures 34.50 dB and is SMALLER. Never "optimise" the master to a JPEG before uploading it.

2. The art is 1920 wide but at DPR 2 the hero needs ~4070 device px, so browsers were bilinear-upscaling it 2.12x — that, not compression, was the visible pixelation. The master is now a Lanczos + light-unsharp 2x render, which beats browser bilinear by 3.17 dB, so it is displayed near 1:1 instead.

NOTE: 2x is reconstruction, not real detail. A true 3840x1404 export from design would still be better; see the asset request in the file header.

q-95 ON THE SMALL WIDTHS ONLY. Those are downscales and carry real per-pixel detail, so quality pays: at w-1920, 34.46 dB default -> 36.04 at q-90 -> 36.37 at q-95. The 2560/3840 candidates are the upscale itself, where the curve is flat (31.68 -> 31.95 at q-90) and raising q would cost 158 KB for +0.27 dB. q-100 is not worth it at any width: only +0.11 dB over q-95 at 1920, for another 81 KB, and +0.06 dB at 3840. --> <img class="bf26-hero__img" src="https://img.bobshop.co.za/site/bf2026-top-banner-2x_S_zpzp6dW1.png?tr=w-3840" srcset=" https://img.bobshop.co.za/site/bf2026-top-banner-2x_S_zpzp6dW1.png?tr=w-768,q-95 768w, https://img.bobshop.co.za/site/bf2026-top-banner-2x_S_zpzp6dW1.png?tr=w-1200,q-95 1200w, https://img.bobshop.co.za/site/bf2026-top-banner-2x_S_zpzp6dW1.png?tr=w-1600,q-95 1600w, https://img.bobshop.co.za/site/bf2026-top-banner-2x_S_zpzp6dW1.png?tr=w-1920,q-95 1920w, https://img.bobshop.co.za/site/bf2026-top-banner-2x_S_zpzp6dW1.png?tr=w-2560 2560w, https://img.bobshop.co.za/site/bf2026-top-banner-2x_S_zpzp6dW1.png?tr=w-3840 3840w " sizes="100vw" alt="Black Friday early access at Bob Shop" width="3840" height="1404" fetchpriority="high" />
