The brand

How it came together.

The brand

Flo Drinks is a British functional drink brand built around three states — focus, recovery, calm. Each can a different ingredient stack, each meant for a different moment of the day. Functional wellness without the protein-shake aesthetic.

The challenge

Three flavours, three colour worlds, one brand. The storefront had to hold all of them — a homepage that pitches the range, three product pages that each own their colour and ingredient story, a stockists map, a checkout that converts. Every screen had to feel like Flo, not a Shopify theme adapted to Flo.

What we built

A headless Shopify storefront built on Hydrogen with React Router 7 and Tailwind v4, deployed to Shopify Oxygen. Each product page is themed via Shopify metafields — flavour colour, ingredient cards, batch number, mood line all come from the admin so future SKUs drop in without code. Cinematic lifestyle photography per can. A stockists map driven by Leaflet (SSR-safe). Custom cart with notify-me on out-of-stock. Bold grotesque typography across the brand.

The work

Page by page,on brand from end to end.

Built once. Beautiful on every screen.

Mobile-first foundation, agency polish on desktop. The same Flo voice — bold grotesque type, cinematic backdrops, three cans — across every viewport.

Flo Drinks — Built once. Beautiful on every screen.

Daily dose. Built for your best days.

Homepage pitches the entire range in three seconds. Mountain backdrop, three flavours abreast, headline that earns the scroll.

Flo Drinks — Daily dose. Built for your best days.

Focus Flow — the energising one.

Themed product page in citrus green. Mental clarity and sustained energy framed as a daily routine, not a stim hit. Ingredient pillars, pack picker, ingredients drawer.

Flo Drinks — Focus Flow — the energising one.

Calm Core — the wind-down one.

Sage palette, gentler rhythm, same three-section ingredient pillar. Stress relief framed clinically — ashwagandha, magnesium glycinate, chamomile — not mystically.

Flo Drinks — Calm Core — the wind-down one.

Restore Rush — the recovery one.

Deep berry colour world. Electrolytes, vitamin C and ginger framed as the bridge between the grind and the next one. Same shell, completely different mood.

Flo Drinks — Restore Rush — the recovery one.

Mobile commerce that feels editorial.

Where most of the visits actually happen. Themed colour, big can, ingredient pills and pack picker all readable above the fold without crowding.
