Bio Chem Peptides supplies lyophilised research compounds to laboratories and independent researchers. In a niche where buyers assume everyone is exaggerating purity, the site’s job is to look like a supplier that publishes its data — clinical, evidence-first, and unambiguously research-use-only.
The challenge
- Credibility gap: no third-party trust signals on the old presence
- Compliance risk — RUO wording has to hold up across every page, not just the footer
- No product photography for a catalogue of near-identical vials
- Spam form submissions and bot traffic hitting an unhardened WordPress install
What we built
- Clean scientific design system — navy and ice-blue palette, generous whitespace, monospaced eyebrow labels
- Hero framed on verified purity, third-party assay and research-ready dispatch, with a dedicated COA Reports destination in the primary nav
- Trust bar (>99% purity, independent validation, rapid US dispatch, strictly research grade) directly beneath the fold
- Premier Compounds and Full Inventory grids with sale badges, out-of-stock states and inline add-to-cart
- Compound categories grouped by research pathway rather than product type
- Newsletter capture and compliance-linked footer carrying the full RUO disclaimer
Product mockups
Built the entire visual catalogue from scratch — branded vial and label mockups rendered per compound, plus the hero composition. Consistent lighting and angle across every SKU, so the grid reads as one product line instead of a scraped supplier gallery.
