Pip & Nut

A playful commerce experience

Pip & Nut are a UK based food company who make delicious nut butters and snacks. Their passion for their product and strong moral code has helped them build a huge online following and as a B-Corp they are defining the standards for CSR. A true grassroots brand, Pip started selling her nut butter in London’s Maltby Street Market in 2013 and now you can find it in over 6000 stores around the world. 

The brief was to create a new flagship online store for the brand to increase awareness in more mainstream markets, boost direct to consumer sales including through subscription products and underpin their marketing campaigns

Hero products

The products are filled with so much goodness that we had to really stretch what’s possible in Shopify to new levels to create visually stunning and content rich product pages to do them justice.

Icons & animation

We enlisted the help of branding experts B&B Studio to design a suite of hand-drawn icons for use on the website which is consistent with the on-pack identity.

To create a playful customer experience, we designed a number of nut-men characters which were lovingly animated and woven into the UI of the website to add humour, reward and delight users.

Mobile first

Recognising that mobile was the primary source of traffic to the website, we took a mobile first approach to wire-framing the user experience to ensure it would convert effectively for this audience.

Before starting the build we created an interactive prototype and tested our design with a sample audience group as well as being reviewed from a technical SEO perspective so we knew it would be search engine friendly, truly responsive and quick to load.

Art direction & content

We worked with Pip & Nut to develop a new signature style of photography for the website which made the product the hero and used bold background colours and animated GIFs to add playfulness to the customer experience.
