Project Overview

Ginju came to UXphoria with an existing packaging direction and a new wellness brand to launch on Shopify.

Starting from that packaging foundation, UXphoria developed the broader brand system, CRO strategy, content architecture, UX/UI and Shopify implementation for the complete ecommerce launch.

The challenge was not simply to place four wellness shots online. Ginju needed a clear system to show where shoppers should start, how the products differ, how they fit into a weekly routine, and when recurring purchase makes more sense than a one-off box.

Building the buying system before designing the storefront

With four products, a flat product grid would have asked first-time shoppers to interpret the range without enough guidance.

Some products were intended to form the core routine. Others worked better as additions. The subscription model also needed to feel central to the business without forcing new visitors into a recurring commitment before they understood the products.

UXphoria structured the ecommerce experience around three questions:

Where should someone start?

Which product fits what they are looking for?

How can a first purchase develop into a repeatable weekly ritual?

These questions shaped the collection logic, content hierarchy, subscription architecture and visual interface.

Instead of treating all four products as equal catalogue items, UXphoria structured the range around a core weekly ritual, optional additions and need-based entry paths.

From existing packaging to a broader brand system

Rather than creating Ginju’s identity from scratch, UXphoria used the existing packaging as the starting point and expanded it into a broader brand and digital system designed to work across ecommerce touchpoints.

The expanded identity introduced:

  • NIVEAU typography

  • a high-contrast black and white foundation

  • Heliconia orange and Exquisite Gold

  • an organic illustration language

  • bold product and lifestyle imagery

  • a visual system that could extend across brand, content and commerce

The more important challenge was making that identity work commercially.

A Shopify experience needs to accommodate product education, pricing, subscription plans, reassurance, product choices and repeated purchase actions. The brand could not disappear as the amount of information increased.

UXphoria therefore treated brand and ecommerce as one connected system. Typography, photography, illustration, color and interface hierarchy all had to remain recognisably Ginju while supporting increasingly complex purchase decisions.

Four products, but not four equal decisions

One of UXphoria’s core CRO decisions was to avoid presenting Ginju’s four shots as four equal product choices.

Instead, the collection establishes Ginger Lemon and Turmeric Recovery as The Daily Rituals, with the direction to start there every week.

Cherry and Matcha appear separately as products shoppers can add when they want something different.

Core weekly ritual

  • Ginger Lemon

  • Turmeric Recovery

Optional additions

  • Cherry

  • Matcha

This creates a more deliberate product hierarchy.

First-time shoppers receive a clearer starting point, while returning customers have room to expand or personalise the routine.

Rather than making every product compete equally for attention, the merchandising system gives each product a clearer role.

Letting shoppers explore by intent, not only by product name

Product names alone are not always enough to help someone choose.

Ginju’s collection therefore introduces another discovery layer through “What are you reaching for?”, organising the range around routes such as:

  • Morning + Energy

  • Recovery + Training

  • Focus + Calm

Further down, “Not sure where to start?” turns those broader routes into more explicit starting scenarios.

UXphoria introduced these paths so shoppers could enter the range by intent as well as by product name, making the collection work as a decision system rather than a flat inventory grid.

Someone who already knows the products can browse the individual shots.

Someone new can begin with the core ritual.

Someone thinking about a particular moment or need can enter through the most relevant route.

The ecommerce architecture therefore does more than display products. It translates the range into clearer decisions.

Making the weekly box the core offer

Ginju’s commercial model was built around consistency, so recurring purchase could not feel like a secondary subscription widget added at the end of the page.

The weekly box needed a defined role inside the product architecture.

Ginju’s default recurring offer is an eight-shot weekly box containing:

  • four Ginger Lemon shots

  • four Turmeric Recovery shots

Instead of asking new customers to construct a subscription from scratch, the experience provides a recognisable default based on the two Daily Ritual products.

Individual shots remain available.

Cherry and Matcha can expand the ritual.

But the weekly box becomes the clearest expression of how Ginju expects the core products to work together.

That same idea is reinforced throughout the homepage, so the subscription model feels like part of the brand and product story rather than an ecommerce feature disconnected from it.

Designing subscription around different levels of commitment

Recurring purchase was important to the business, but a new customer still needed an easier way into the product system.

The homepage introduces three recurring plan levels:

  • Just Me

  • Two of Us

  • The Family

At the same time, it preserves a separate “Just want to try first?” path for a one-off box.

This creates two clear purchase routes.

Ready for the weekly ritual

Choose the recurring plan that fits the household.

Still deciding

Try one box without an ongoing commitment.

The goal was not to hide the one-off option so subscription would win by force.

UXphoria designed the plan structure to make the recurring model understandable while keeping a lower-commitment first-purchase route visible.

The plan selector, content hierarchy and offer framing were therefore designed as part of the purchase decision itself.

Content strategy as part of the conversion architecture

Ginju operates in an explanation-heavy product category.

Shoppers may have questions about ingredients, product differences, production, routines, subscription frequency and how different products fit into different moments.

UXphoria wrote the ecommerce copy and distributed product education across the shopping journey rather than isolating all information inside one educational block.

For Ginju, that meant placing:

  • product-specific explanations close to the products

  • routine and use-context content around product discovery

  • subscription information close to commitment decisions

  • process and sourcing information where reassurance becomes important

  • offer details close to plan selection and purchase actions

The homepage moves between product explanation, plan selection, routine framing, production information and purchase actions instead of separating “education” from “shopping.”

The aim was not to add more content by default.

It was to answer the right questions in the right sequence.

Building production and purchase reassurance into the experience

For Ginju, product confidence also depended on tangible production and delivery details.

The experience surfaces information around:

  • cold pressing

  • glass packaging

  • organic certification

  • freshness

  • weekly delivery

  • subscription flexibility

  • cancellation access

These details are positioned inside the buying experience rather than left only in policy pages or the footer.

They help shoppers understand how the product is made, how the weekly model works, and what they are committing to before they purchase.

Carrying the same decisions onto mobile

The mobile experience was designed as part of the same ecommerce system, not as a reduced desktop afterthought.

On a smaller screen, the same questions still had to remain understandable:

  • What should I start with?

  • Which product fits what I am looking for?

  • What am I subscribing to?

  • Which plan have I selected?

  • Can I try it without subscribing?

  • What information do I need before continuing?

The mobile layouts therefore had to compress product storytelling, plan selection, education and action without losing Ginju’s expressive visual identity.

Rather than copying the desktop layout one-to-one, UXphoria adapted the hierarchy so the same buying logic could remain clear on a narrower screen.

Product cards, educational sections, plan choices and purchase actions were reorganised around mobile scanning and interaction.

From strategy to Shopify launch

Ginju was a completely new ecommerce launch, which allowed UXphoria to connect strategy and implementation from the beginning.

UXphoria led the project across:

  • CRO and ecommerce strategy

  • product and subscription architecture

  • information architecture

  • brand development

  • content strategy and copywriting

  • UX/UI design

  • responsive and mobile design

  • Shopify development

  • launch implementation

Because UXphoria also handled Shopify implementation, the same strategic decisions carried through to launch.

The Daily Rituals hierarchy, optional add-on logic, plan structure, content hierarchy, brand system and mobile layouts were implemented as one connected ecommerce system rather than split across unrelated teams.

Development was therefore part of delivering the commercial and design strategy, not simply a separate handoff after the interface had been approved.

A Shopify experience designed around the decision, not just the interface

Ginju shows how UXphoria approaches a new ecommerce launch.

First define the product system, the choices shoppers need to make and the commercial model. Then design and build the Shopify experience around those decisions.

For Ginju, that meant turning four products into a clearer weekly ritual, making subscription easier to understand, and carrying an existing packaging direction into a complete digital brand and ecommerce system.
