Homepage versions
Each version is a complete homepage using the same catalogue: the same 40
brands, the same eight products, the same prices. Only the design differs,
so a comparison between two of them is a comparison of design.
01
Roster
Authority through selection. The brands you carry are the reason to shop, so the shelf is the hero.
- Signature
- The brand wall: 40 tiles with live stock counts, filterable, above everything else.
- Type
- Anybody condensed, Switzer
- Palette
-
- Checks
- Verified at 1440 / 768 / 375. Lighthouse 100 across the board. Superseded: the research argues against the brand-wall hero and the condensed display type.
Open Roster
02
Dispensary
Pharmacy register. Everyday low pricing with no codes at all, and the price-break table as the one thing this page shows off.
- Signature
- A real price-break table with the unit price at every tier, shown once at full size and then on every card.
- Type
- Literata, Public Sans
- Palette
-
- Checks
- Desktop mockup. No codes, no badges, no popups.
Open Dispensary
03
Depot
The category's own commercial model, built properly: discount code, struck-through reference prices, percentage badges, trust badges and an exit popup.
- Signature
- The code panel and the -X% badges. This is the version that tests whether the convention is worth adopting.
- Type
- Archivo, expanded for prices
- Palette
-
- Checks
- Desktop mockup. Reference prices must be genuine prices charged here before this can ship.
Open Depot
04
Index
The honest-reseller position. We make none of it, so we compete on comparison, pass-through certification and truthful stock.
- Signature
- Identical card geometry for all 1,400 products, with certification linked to the certifier's own register.
- Type
- Instrument Serif, Instrument Sans
- Palette
-
- Checks
- Desktop mockup. No codes, certification-led, subscription with no minimum term.
Open Index
05
Rack
Bold, solid colour, interactive. The hero is an instrument rather than a banner: every product in a category ranked by unit price.
- Signature
- Change the quantity and the bars re-scale and re-sort, because bulk terms differ by brand and the ranking genuinely changes.
- Type
- Syne, Chivo
- Palette
-
- Checks
- Desktop mockup. Rack verified: re-sorts across quantities, switches unit basis, withdraws the chart below two products.
Open Rack
06
Dispatch
Certainty rather than price. A delivery date instead of a delivery speed, real stock, and the total cost stated where the decision is made.
- Signature
- The live dispatch cut-off and arrival date, plus a facet rail with result counts and variant chips that show what is unavailable.
- Type
- Fraunces, Schibsted Grotesk
- Palette
-
- Checks
- Desktop mockup. Delivery logic tested across six weekday, weekend and cut-off cases; facets, sort and load-more verified.
Open Dispatch
07
Drop
Structure borrowed from DY Nutrition, with the four manufacturer pillars rewritten as things a stockist can actually prove. Black, one hot accent, conventional type.
- Signature
- Today's drop: one product a day at a real time-limited price, chosen by a community vote that closes at midnight.
- Type
- Plus Jakarta Sans
- Palette
-
- Checks
- Desktop mockup. Vote and countdown verified. Drop must genuinely end and votes must be a real tally before this ships.
Open Drop
08
Drop, with real photography
v7 with real products: 24 real items from 14 real UK brands, with their own names, prices and photographs pulled from public product feeds.
- Signature
- Every photograph normalised at ingest to one square canvas with the same padding, so a mixed-source catalogue still reads as one system.
- Type
- Plus Jakarta Sans
- Palette
-
- Checks
- Desktop mockup. Photographs are the brands' copyright and need a stockist agreement before launch. Stock, ratings, reviews and bulk tiers are still placeholders.
Open Drop, with real photography
09
Drop, with the vote mechanic
v8 with the vote turned into the engine: votes set the discount as well as the winner, every past drop is published, and returning visitors get the vote first.
- Signature
- The tier ladder. More votes, deeper discount, so a voter has a reason to bring other voters rather than just casting one.
- Type
- Plus Jakarta Sans
- Palette
-
- Checks
- Desktop mockup. Ladder tested across every threshold boundary; margin, reorder and nomination verified. Thresholds must genuinely trigger before this ships.

Versions are additive. Nothing here is overwritten when a new one arrives,
so you can always go back and compare. When you pick one it moves to the
site root and the rest stay as a record.
