Kingsland Drinks
Kingsland Drinks supplies the UK trade with unique and innovative beverage offerings. They wanted to update their tired website to reflect the forward-thinking business they’d grown into. Using the in-house Carbon starter theme, we built a visually appealing new website with a clean aesthetic and custom functionality.
Project goals
Modernise the design – to reflect the branding and personality of Kingsland Drinks as it is today
Improve the user experience – allowing users to easily navigate the site and find what they need
Functionality
Portfolio – showcasing a filterable archive of Kingsland Drinks’ offerings and allowing users to download product data in PDF format
Interactive hero – with a seamless animation between the 2 sections
How it was built
It was built using the in-house Carbon starter theme. This is a starting point for all WordPress websites built at Carbon Creative. Two teams worked on different aspects of the site.
- The front end team worked on the visual side of things – the structure of the pages, the content modules, and the animations that gave the site its character.
- The back end team worked on the functionality side of things – the portfolio filters and the advanced search and filtering feature.
I was involved in the front end build and created the interactive hero animation. This was a fun challenge working with positioning, z-indexes, Javascript. I created a set of modules using ACF allowing the site admins to design and build pages with ease.
The team at Kingsland Drinks were very pleased with the finished site. Since it launched their customer enquiries increased and they’ve received fantastic feedback from clients and potential recruits.
