Custom Product Template Development
We partnered with Guru to design and implement a robust, feature-rich PDP experience that elevates both usability and brand storytelling:
Case study
Guru is a brand of energy drinks that are produced from plant-based ingredients with no GMOs or artificial flavours. 99% of their ingredients are sourced from organic farming.
The Challenge
As Guru Energy’s presence and product range expanded, so did the need for a website experience that reflected the brand’s bold, modern identity and commitment to quality. The existing Product Page and navigation were no longer aligned with the brand's visual direction or user experience goals. Additionally, the cart experience lacked strategic upselling opportunities, limiting the brand's ability to increase average order value.

Designed and developed based on provided assets, the tof Nutrients dynamically displays detailed nutritional information using structured metafields, enhancing transparency and customer trust.
A clean 2×2 grid layout dynamically populated from Header blocks.

Leveraging Shopify and existing product collections, the cart displays contextually relevant product suggestions based on the current cart contents. The upsell component was styled to match Guru’s updated site design, maintaining visual harmony and brand consistency.
The comprehensive PDP, navigation, and cart upgrades have transformed the Guru Energy online experience. Shoppers now enjoy an intuitive, visually engaging interface that reflects the brand’s bold, clean identity. Product information is clearer, navigation is simplified across devices, and subtle upsell opportunities help drive increased basket sizes.
