Case Study · Smoke and vape retail
VapeLife
A retail site with a compliance problem baked into the requirements: nobody under 21 gets past the front door.
Live site: vapelife.vercel.app
The brief
Smoke and vape retail carries obligations that most retail does not. An age gate is not optional, and it has to work without making the site feel hostile to the customers who do belong there. VapeLife needed a storefront that handled that gracefully and still looked like somewhere worth shopping.
What was built
Age verification gate
A required confirmation before any product content is reachable, handled as the first interaction rather than a dismissible banner.
Immersive product presentation
Atmosphere built into the design so the site feels like the shop rather than a catalogue.
Brand-matched design
Colour and typography derived from the brand identity throughout.
Custom logo
Designed in-house as part of the build.
How it was built
Custom-coded front end with client-side age gating, deployed static.
