Introduction

Zinc is infrastructure for developers to buy from online retailers. Search products, place orders, track shipments and handle returns, all through a single API.

Baked designed the full marketing site and built it in Next.js with Zinc's team. The new home page went live on zinc.com in August 2025.

Buy any product online with an API call.

Home

Say what it does in one line

We started with the hero and the story before the rest of the page. The home page leads with the API call itself, then walks through ordering, tracking and returns.

Data

Product data from the retail web

The data page and home sections show search, seller comparison and product metadata as simple cards and charts.

System

Warm, simple, one blue

Warm greys, one blue accent and a few secondary colours run across every page. The 3D objects from thiings.co keep the visuals consistent.

Build

Every page, desktop and mobile

We designed every page in desktop and mobile, down to the 404, and our developer built them in Next.js so Zinc's team could keep shipping pages and blog posts.
