The Challenge

Laria Pippen, a former nurse, opened Replenish Marketplace with her husband Stephan after seeing how much single-use plastic hospitals throw away. Their Alameda shop sells non-toxic goods for home and body by refill, and it had won local awards and press. But their website was one page: a welcome paragraph, a list of product categories and a video. It didn't walk newcomers through how refilling works, tell the owners' story, or show off their awards and press. Laria's goal was simple: new customers who become repeat customers.

They needed a site that gets people through the door, and back again.

What We Did

We planned, wrote, designed and built a five-page Shopify site around one goal: visit the shop.

  • Structure built on research. A kickoff call and a look at other refill shops shaped five pages: Home, Ways to Replenish, What We Carry, About and Visit Us.

  • Copy that answers first questions. "Hello, Alameda! We're your neighborhood refill shop." leads into how refilling works in four steps, what they carry, and hours and directions up top.

  • A design from their brand. Their colors and fonts, a subtle starfish motif, custom step icons, and their press and awards up front.

  • Built in Shopify. The full design on a free Shopify theme, with their brand fonts, wave details and a full mobile pass on every page.

  • Accessible from day one. Image descriptions on every photo, a clean heading structure, and keyboard, zoom and phone checks.

  • Ready to grow. A delivery section built and waiting for when delivery launches, plus a training call so they can update the site themselves.

The Outcome

The new site launched in November 2026. Replenish now has a site that explains refilling in four steps, puts hours and directions at the top of every page, and gives every visitor one clear next step: come visit.
