About HappyKite

We design beautiful websites which focus on the customer’s experience from arriving on the website to purchasing. There is little point in having a fancy website if it does not result in a good return on investment for you – whether that’s increased sales leads or more revenue generated through an eCommerce store. At HappyKite we design with the bottom-line in mind, engaging your customers with clean, modern design and enticing them to buy with a great customer experience.

We can provide a comprehensive branding and design service from logo design through to full-scale eCommerce websites and anything in between. With the changing way in which people are viewing the web and the growth of mobile and tablet browsing it is important to choose a design studio who understand the responsive web, something which we are very strong at.

We work with our clients to design branding and websites which reflect the ethos of their company, appeal to their target audience and most importantly help to increase revenue and grow their business.

Our eCommerce websites are built on WordPress with WooCommerce, an open source publishing platform and content management system (CMS). By using WordPress, we can give you a huge amount of functionality for minimal cost – standing on the shoulders of thousands of great developers. This allows us to provide affordable web solutions without needing to compromise on design or performance.

We are long-term specialist WordPress developers building responsive websites which perform seamlessly for customers regardless of which device they may be using. We write custom code for clients enabling us to handle difficult and unique requirements including complex products, tiered pricing, authorised access areas and multilingual websites with clean, easy to use admin experiences for editing and maintaining the content.

We have a combined total of more than 15 years experience working with WordPress, having built hundreds of websites, commercial themes and free plugins. We have been involved in WooCommerce since it’s infancy, even developing for it’s predecessor JigoShop and were one of only a handful of Affiliated WooWorkers in the UK.

We pride ourselves on our philosophy of managing eCommerce websites with a focus on responsible, content-led marketing and we work alongside our clients to increase revenue by finding their audience and engaging with them across a range of appropriate channels including through their website and on social media. eCommerce marketing is not a ‘one-cap-fits-all’ area of expertise and our strategies are driven by in-depth analysis giving tangible and accountable results.

The work we undertake with our clients depends greatly on their needs, budget and how they want to focus their marketing efforts. For some clients this might be managing their website content and writing unique and engaging information for their blog, whilst for others it may be managing a large PPC (Pay per Click) budget or creating email campaigns or even all of the above.

Some clients prefer to consider us their outsourced marketing department and web development team, with everything from print advertising, to fixing headaches like PCI compliance and sending their email newsletters. Other clients will have quite specific, smaller jobs that they want us to undertake each month such as writing posts for their blog or editing product copy. We can give whatever level of support you need to maximise your investment and grow your business.

At HappyKite we don’t just build you a website and then wave you out of the door, we are on hand to support our clients at whatever level you need. We recognise that whilst some clients are happy to handle many aspects of their new website themselves, others either haven’t the time, the skill or the inclination to manage the more technical aspects themselves and would rather that we took away some of the stress.

Our more basic support packages typically include hosting your website on a server environment optimised specifically for WordPress websites and keeping the core WordPress code and any plugins used up to date. This process of updates is important as the web is in a constant state of change and there can be important security updates which need to be implemented. We also take regular site back-ups and scan your site routinely for malware. If a minor bug crops up or you need something altered slightly then we can be on hand to provide assistance.

Some of our clients are looking for a little more than this and we can provide them with whatever level of support they need. For some this would mean managing their website in its entirety, from making copy changes as and when needed to adding new product lines optimising images and helping to shape the sales funnel. Whatever the level of support or partnership you need, we can adapt our role to suit it.
