- Project Overview
The Store We Built
Ocean Core is a Canadian research supply brand built around breadth rather than a narrow catalogue. The store spans nine distinct research categories, Weight Loss, Recovery, Cognitive Function, Skin Care, Muscle Growth, Hormone, Tanning, Sexual Health, and Injection Supply, covering compounds such as 5-amino-1MQ, BPC-157, and Cagrilintide alongside reconstitution supplies like bacteriostatic water
Because the catalogue is this wide, navigation had to do a lot of work. The build also needed to support an active promotional pricing model, a sitewide flat discount banner paired with per-product strikethrough sale pricing, without letting the store feel more like a retail deal site than a research supplier. A 19 plus age gate reflecting Canadian legal requirements sits in front of the entire catalogue. This build sits alongside our other Peptide Website Case Studies, each solving a different combination of compliance, catalogue, and conversion problems.
- The Challenges
Three Problems That Had to Be Solved Before Launch
A Simpler Nine-Category Catalogue
With research areas spanning Weight Loss, Recovery, Cognitive Function, Skin Care, Muscle Growth, Hormone, Tanning, Sexual Health, and Injection Supply, the store needed a navigation structure that let a researcher land on the right category in one or two clicks rather than scrolling a single, undifferentiated shop grid.
Promotions That Don't Cheapen the Brand
A flat 20 percent off sitewide banner and per-product strikethrough sale pricing needed to sit comfortably next to purity data, third-party testing claims, and research use only language, so the store read as a legitimate supplier running a promotion rather than a discount retailer bolting on peptides.
Canadian Age Verification, Explained
Canadian provincial thresholds differ from the 18 or 21 plus gates used on other builds, so Ocean Core needed a 19 plus age verification step built specifically for its Canadian audience, applied consistently before any product or pricing content became visible.
