Gopal Ayurved: A heritage brand, brought online.

Gopal Ayurved Udyog is a heritage brand that makes Ayurvedic powders, oils, honey and pooja essentials. Its customers knew it from shops and from word of mouth. Pencilbuddha brought it online: we designed and built a Shopify store where shoppers start from their health concern, find the right product and see the saving straight away.

01 · The brief

Trusted for years.Missing online.

Gopal Ayurved had what most new wellness brands spend years trying to build: a name people trust. What it did not have was a proper home online, where those customers and new ones could buy from anywhere.

The job was to bring a heritage brand online without losing what made people trust it.

THE STRENGTH

Heritage and trust

A name customers already know and rely on.

THE GAP

No real store online

Customers could not easily buy from home.

THE JOB

Bring it online

A store that feels like the brand and sells simply.

02 · Shop by concern

Start fromhow you feel.

People rarely search for an Ayurvedic product by name. They start from a problem: digestion, hair, skin, immunity. So the store starts there too. Shoppers pick their health concern and see the products that help, explained in plain words.

  1. Pick a concern. Start from what you need help with.
  2. See what helps. The products for that concern, explained simply.
  3. See the saving. The price and the saving are clear straight away.
  4. Buy. Checkout in a few steps.
03 · The Shopify store

A heritage brand,a modern store.

We designed and built the Shopify store and its merchandising: how powders, oils, honey and pooja essentials are grouped, shown and priced, so a first-time visitor can find their way and a loyal customer can reorder fast.
