Transforming Nootropics Depot
with a Custom BigCommerce Redesign
NootropicsDepot.com: Committed to delivering the highest quality, lab-tested, affordable supplements on the market.
We were asked by Pure Pro to migrate their existing BigCommerce store from the antiquated Blueprint framework to the new Stencil framework. Working closely with the Pure Pro team, IntuitSolutions designed, developed and launched a custom BigCommerce Stencil theme on PurePro.com. We then implemented custom add-ons to enhance the UX.
The Design
A fully responsive design on BigCommerce that stays true to the company’s established brand.

Their Story: Nootropics Depot
Nootropics Depot is dedicated to delivering high-quality, lab-tested supplements, vitamins, and nootropics to support a wide range of special health needs, including cognition, focus, energy, metabolism, gut health, and many more.
By offering complete transparency on ingredient sourcing and lab certifications, their company ensures customers can trust that what’s on the label is exactly what’s in the product—every time.
The Challenge: Solving Navigation, Performance, and User Experience Issues
As Nootropics Depot’s global presence expanded, it became essential for their website to meet modern consumer demands, particularly with a growing number of mobile users. An outdated BigCommerce theme, coupled with cumbersome third-party tools, led to site performance issues and a subpar user journey.
To remain competitive, Nootropics Depot needed a comprehensive site redesign that would improve performance, streamline functionality, and deliver a smooth, consistent user experience across all devices.
The Solution: Modern Site Redesign on the Latest BigCommerce Stencil Framework
Our BigCommerce designers reimagined Nootropics Depot’s site from the ground up, providing them with a cutting-edge platform that strengthens their position in the rapidly changing world of health and beauty ecommerce.
Leveraging the latest BigCommerce Stencil framework, we removed code-heavy tools and integrated modern features to build a secure, scalable platform, helping them boost customer engagement and increase conversions.
The BigCommerce redesign for Nootropics Depot included:
- Responsive design and development on IntuitSolutions Base Cornerstone theme
- Desktop and mobile page speed improvements
- Intuitive site navigation across devices
- Custom product page enhancements
- Seamless integration of BigCommerce add-ons and third-party apps

& Enhancements
Some highlights of the unique solutions implemented for NootropicsDepot.com.
Custom Slide Out Menu
A custom slide-out menu provides quick access to key categories and products, allowing customers to browse the site without clutter. The intuitive design ensures smooth navigation on both desktop and mobile, making it easier for users to find exactly what they need, faster.
Product Video Thumbnails
Product Video Thumbnails integrate videos into the media gallery beneath the main product photo, allowing users to view videos alongside images for a more immersive experience without leaving the product page.
Add to Cart Upsell
The Add to Cart Upsell feature adds a product carousel to the "Add to Cart" popup, displaying related items that complement the customer’s selection. Without leaving the page, customers can browse, select options, and add additional products to their cart.
"Build Your Stack" Feature
Nootropics Depot enables customers to create a personalized supplement bundle tailored to their unique health goals. Whether they’re focused on energy, focus, or overall wellness, the "Build Your Stack" tool guides them in selecting the perfect combination of products to support their journey.
Cart Page Upsell
Customers can view related products right before checkout with the Cart Page Upsell add-on, helping increase average order value. It’s configurable, which means merchants control when the feature appears and which additional products are suggested.
Countdown to Same-Day Shipping
The "Countdown to Same-Day Shipping" feature adds a live timer on product pages, showing customers how long they have to place an order to qualify for same-day shipping. This real-time countdown creates a sense of urgency and encourages quicker purchasing decisions.
Countdown to Free Shipping
The "Countdown to Free Shipping" banner shows customers exactly how much more they need to spend to qualify for free shipping, encouraging them to add more items to their cart. This subtle, non-intrusive banner stays visible at the top of the page as customers navigate the site, enhancing the shopping experience without disrupting it.
Checkout Customizations
Powered by the Customer Group Payment module of the Ebizio Checkout app, the checkout page dynamically shows or hides payment methods based on the customer’s country. This feature can allow certain customers access to one or multiple payment methods, and/or select payment terms.
