Bottles & Crates: A Modern eCommerce Site for Homebrew and Event Supplies
Bottles & Crates is a UK-based supplier of new and used beer bottles and crates, serving homebrewers, breweries, and event planners. The owner, Gary Fox, has been a long-time client of ours, and we originally built his first website for Discount Homebrew, a comprehensive homebrew supply store. Over the years, Gary wanted to focus more on the high-demand segment of bottles and crates, so we created a dedicated eCommerce site just for that purpose.
The Brief
Gary needed a modern, user-friendly website that would allow customers to easily purchase bottles and crates online. The goal was to create a straightforward eCommerce platform using WooCommerce on WordPress, featuring product variations for different types and colours of bottles. We also wanted the site to handle bulk orders and attract event planners looking for large quantities of crates.
The Problems
Gary’s original Discount Homebrew site was quite old and covered a wide range of homebrew supplies, but it wasn’t focused on the specific high-demand niche of bottles and crates. We needed a dedicated, modern site that would be easy to navigate and capable of handling both individual and bulk orders right from launch. The new site also needed to support eCommerce functionality and variations for different product types.
The Solution
We built Bottles & Crates as a sleek, modern WooCommerce site on WordPress, designed to focus solely on the bottle and crate niche. The site is clean and easy to use, allowing customers to browse products, choose variations, and place orders online. We also integrated bulk order capabilities for event planners, which proved successful almost immediately when a large national event ordered several pallets of crates within the first week of launch.
What We Delivered
- A dedicated WooCommerce eCommerce site focused on bottles and crates.
- Product variations for different types and colours of bottles and crates.
- Bulk order functionality to cater to event planners and large-volume buyers.
- A clean, modern design that’s easy to navigate and optimised for both desktop and mobile users.
Results & Impact
The Bottles & Crates site delivered immediate results, attracting a large event client within the first week of going live. The new platform provides a focused, efficient way for customers to order bottles and crates, and has quickly become a key part of Gary’s business strategy. The site’s modern design and strong functionality have set it up for continued growth.
Why This Project Matters
This project highlights how a niche eCommerce site can quickly deliver results with the right focus and functionality. By zeroing in on a high-demand product segment and using WooCommerce for easy online ordering, we’ve helped Bottles & Crates stand out and attract significant business from the start.
