Power Kite Centre
Airboss World is an established Kite Sports Centre in Prestwold that host powerkiting events and also sell all manner of equipment from recreational one line kites and sport kites, to power kites and traction kites that pull you along on a buggy, mountainboard or kite surf board and spare parts. Their physical shop is impressive with everything a powerkiter could wish for on display, so when I was asked to design a new online store for the company I knew it had to be special!
The result is Power Kite Centre; a heavily modified CubeCart based shopping website that has a rock solid code base to ensure safe, secure online shopping and a drop dead gorgeous front end that reflects the excitement of powerkiting and the edgy style of those who do it. The design of the website focused on usability coupled with urban, gritty textures to really convey the feel of powerkiting and target it’s young clientele.
“The new site has made a huge difference to our online sales; they have increased massively which is mostly due to how easy it is to find the product the customer wants and buy it. Matthew has been a tremendous help with the technicalities of running an online store and answered all our questions regarding shipping, product editing, categories and more. It has been a pleasure working with him.”
Gary Grayston - Owner of Airboss World
The popularity of the shop has been incredible and visits reached more than 4,600 (that’s 25,128 hits) in November, which is doubly impressive as the site went live on 9th of that month! To cope with this load the site is hosted on a dedicated server with security supplied by GeoTrust which is supplied and managed by myself.
