Propeller

As part of a pivot from the more traditional cuppa to a focus on the health and wellbeing benefits of tea, Propeller worked in depth with Twinings and Associated British Foods to fully understand the brand objectives; and how that would impact the design of a new, more modern website.

The team at Propeller proudly delivered all UX, design and digital development in collaboration with the iconic British tea brand. Ease of use was balanced with adopting an emotional connection with the brand and its commitment to being a key part of a customers’ healthy lifestyle. 

The process included reorganising navigation menus and categories we believed customers wanted and needed. From drop down boxes to clear copywriting, we knew product information was key, but it needed to be easily accessible without overwhelming the customer or the page. 

Backed by beautiful design, with a health-focused approach and leading e-commerce technology, the Twinings Shopify Plus store resulted in a 40% increase in conversion.

Long known as Japan's favourite hydration drink, Pocari Sweat just launched with Propeller on @shopify for the US Market! It's a perfect aquatic blend of 5 electrolytes, perfect for major workouts and hot summer days.

Over four generations, they have quietly but proudly crafted quality paints and wood finishes in Lambeth, South London. Originally supplied to trade only, Mylands has been a best kept secret amongst interior design professionals and scenic artists for over 130 years.

 In 1985, Mylands was awarded the ultimate seal of approval, a Royal Warrant and it was important for the project to share the rich history and premium quality of the brand through digital storytelling.

As part of our ongoing strategic partnership with Cubitt House, and building on the successful launch of their individual pub venue websites last year, we are proud to have also recently launched their central brand website showcasing the collection online. Their unique collection of iconic public houses, with a boutique hotel offering, in Central London deserved a new website to illustrate their best in class portfolio.

Our shared aim of the partnership is to elevate the Cubitt House brand online, exciting customers and potential employees about what the group offers, conveying the brand philosophy and highlighting the premium collection of venues and their USPs. We designed a site that was an aesthetic extension of the venue websites, that delivered an integrated approach from central website to local websites and vice versa. 

With a strong focus on SEO, campaigns and sharing each of the individual venues USPs, digital storytelling was a key feature of the site to reflect the full proposition. This was particularly important to showcase the focus of Cubitt House on sustainability, provenance and their relationships with their food suppliers as one of their key F&B USPs. This will be supported through the ongoing production of SEO focused content through the new blog functionality.

Key objectives included: 

• Implementation of a clear booking strategy for table, hotel and events bookings. 

• Ensuring the cross selling of pubs and spaces across the estate.

• The site was also built to enable the digital activation of subsidiary parts of the business, including the gifting proposition and built with scalability and flexibility in mind to be able to incorporate future planned operational extensions. 

• Operationally, it was also a key objective to promote recruitment, the employer brand and driving applications across the business which was supported with the ATS integration with Harri. 

• SEO focused landing pages were developed utilising many of the digital storytelling elements to support in the promotion of key services, including weddings, meetings and parties, as well as seasonal campaign landing pages and new openings.

If ever there has been a time to be launching a delivery focused pizza concept, arguably 2020 has been prime time. With lockdown in full swing, we partnered with Gallio to launch their feel good pizza concept from their new Mediterranean dark kitchen concept.  

Gallio initially focused on a delivery only concept to bring their innovative take on pizza to Londoners in lockdown however the site had to be built with the scalability and flexibility to be able to transition with the brands plans to add additional delivery locations, as well as plans to eventually open physical venues in addition to the delivery offering.

We launched the timeless, at home stereo designers on an experiential driven, multilingual and multi currency store for the USA, Australia, Great Britain, Italy and Nordics as part of the brands digital evolution on Shopify Plus.

Following a tech stack discovery, we delivered a highly bespoke theme customisation that included collection landing pages that detail their epic design quality and other key digital storytelling features including Spotify playlists. The store allows buyers to experience the products through both traditional technical detail presentation areas and experiential lifestyle content.

From the tech side, this evolution sees them migrate from a custom ecommerce platform to the enterprise leaders, Shopify Plus. Tivoli Audio had previously been using the custom solution for a less unified branded experience across their territories in EMEA and North America.

From the design and experience side, the brief hinged on delivering a site build that allowed them to tell their multimedia story to their millennial audience of discerning design junkies and fitness conscious music lovers!

In terms of our journey we undertook: 

• Discovery phase to identify good substitute third party options where required. 
• Full site design 
• Development of a new library for storytelling and a separate ‘learn’ based product route. 
• A theme delivered across their expansion stores. 
• Content migration and internationalisation support.
• Testing and deployment.

Head of eCommerce Emmanuel Onuoha said of the project “They delivered the website in two months. It made my team look good. They’re a really understanding vendor that’s personal but professional. They pay attention to detail.”

The Feed Britain store was launched by the LEON restaurant group to sell fresh produce, shelf goods and other food items in London during the pandemic. The site also incorporated a social impact element through the collection of donations for NHS workers at checkout.

There was a fulfilment restriction as deliveries were limited to specific London postcodes, which required the implementations of Shopify scripts to enable this and validate orders by postcode. We also partnered with Shopify partners Yotpo and Klaviyo to gather reviews and for flow driven, automated email campaigns.

The launch of the store was in response to the immediate and significant change in consumer needs with social distancing and lockdown measures being brought in across the UK. Fast decisions were made by the LEON restaurants team to evolve the brand and the offering to continue to deliver healthy and convenient food options through this new channel.

COVID-19 has created the need to pivot for a huge number of restaurant, food and beverage brands which has led to a significant acceleration of digital adoption in the delivery and direct to consumer segment. Consumer search trends and purchase behaviours changed virtually overnight but these behaviour changes have been gradually infiltrating the market over recent years as consumers interests and expectations have begun to shift in recent years with the growth of D2C and delivery platforms across a number of market segments.

Not only did the development of Feed Britain focus on the core values of the LEON restaurants brand but responded to communities needs in real time in terms of both consumer demand and support for the NHS through the donation capability of the site. The team took the opportunity to think big and transform their operation to match customer expectations in a new digital infrastructure.

Fresh Mexican flavour online.

_________________________________________________________________

We worked with Wahaca to create a fresh new website using their recently updated branding. With a focus on developing the content for each of their locations and making the site easily navigable, we launched the new Wahaca website earlier this year.

Nothing lost in translation

Nothing is more important for the Wahaca team than opening up the UK to the colours and flavours of Mexico. One of the primary aims of the project was the make the food as accessible as possible to their audience. Based on the popularity of their Instagram account we create a picture menu so users can really get a sense of each of Wahaca’s delicious dishes. Just a quick click through takes you to the full menu listing, complete with dietary filters and easy to navigate sub menus.

Driving conversions on mobile

With over 65% of traffic hitting the site being mobile we priorised the design of regions that would scale down beautifully, without losing the impact of the graphic and bold design. With locations throughout the UK, we know Wahaca’s users are on the go and looking for their nearest restaurant.

Bars for B2B & B2C

Built on Shopify Plus, we utilised Shopify’s custom checkout, Shopify Flows and Script Editor to give RXBAR wholesale functionality without cutting back on the look and feel of the website.

A member-focused site for a prestigious private club.

___________________________________________________________

Members first

The Royal Automobile Club is a prestigious private members club based in the heart of London which offers the highest level of service to its members. We worked hard to emulate this online by creating a digital hub for everything their members need from bookings and notifications to a click and collect shop and classified ads.

"The brief was a challenging one and Propeller approached the project with a high level of customer service backed up by strong project delivery."Sarah Farrar, The Royal Automobile Club

Anything but traditional integrations

We used some clever tech to build a sophisticated members portal with supplier integrations, including Oracle, Concept & Intelligentgolf. It means members have full control to book Squash, Golf, Rooms, Events and make restaurant reservations through the site.

Striking design. Seamless journey.

Content is king

Alexi’s old site was the tip of an iceberg; the team had a big story to tell but a site that could only tell a small part. We built an online destination that acts as a platform to tell Alexi’s story and make the most of all their content, including the back catalogue.

“The only downside of the whole experience was when it launched and I realized that there was nothing else to create together… !"Alexi Lubomirski

New York artistry

This was a personal project – Alexi Lubomirski is a brand and a person. So our New York team worked closely with Alexi to get it right.

We made the most of working in the same city. There were lots of visits to their studio, where we learnt from the team and got a feel for how they worked, which illuminated how they wanted their site to feel and function.

Design that works

This site is anything but just a portfolio – the site tells Alexi’s story. We worked closely with Alexi and his team to create a solid UX journey that gave it justice.

The site captures the many sides of Alexi: a curator, a philanthropist, a writer and a creator, and of course, a photographer. We crosslinked every page to guide visitors, allowing them to experience Alexi’s content in its full-screen glory.

A pilgrimage project

The boys at Pizza Pilgrims  started their business with a huge journey across Italy to source the best ingredients. We helped them share the journey with an interactive map tracking all the stops and the amazing ingredients the brothers found along the way.

“Propeller are great, we loved working with them all. They delivered a glossy, user friendly website which stayed true to the quirkiness of our brand.”Rebecca Serra, Pizza Pilgrims

All fun and code

The boys at Pizza Pilgrims love their 80s video games, so we snuck a few (nice) surprises into their site. Type in certain well-known gaming keyboard sequences and you might see what we’re talking about.

Flavourable artists

Pizza Pilgrims launched ‘#pizzaboxart’, a social campaign with a simple concept – grab a pizza box, create a masterpiece and show it off. We made an interactive gallery of over 2,000 entries that can be liked, and ranked in favourites. Budding artists can even take a pic and submit their own artwork on the site.

We developed an interactive timeline that dates back from 1603 right through to modern day Chelsea where we can see the historical events that have shaped the neighbourhood as we know it today.

Searching high and low

Location Department have a dizzying amount of properties in their portfolio…thousands in fact. So we’ve made it easy to find the right one. We built a really clever search engine right into the heart of the site. It serves up the perfect ecosystem for finding exactly what you’re looking for, but also the opportunity to be inspired

"An amazing team! They have gone above and beyond our expectations, not only delivering a fantastic service but holding our hand through the entire process making this a wonderful experience." - Kate Collings-Post, Location Department

Through the keyhole

Location Department have a story to tell about every property in their portfolio – the challenge is finding a way to tell all the stories without cluttering up the site.

We introduced the team to the WordPress platform and enhanced it with bespoke editing features to streamline location information and imagery. Now the team can tell the unique stories for each location in a way that makes an impact.

Interactive design at its best.

No templates here

Choosing your lunch at Coco Di Mama is an interactive event: you pick your pasta, your toppings and make it your own. We set out to make the site feel like a visit to one of their locations.

With a combination of modern design and interactive tech, we did just that. Now you can design your lunch before you even step through their door. From meatballs to mushrooms and penne to serpentini – it’s all there (our favourite is rigatone).

Things change

Coco Di Mama like to mix things up. Their menu changes, so their site needs to as well.

WordPress was the perfect match for the team at Coco Di Mama. It’s easy to use, flexible and gives them the room to grow. Plus, we know more than most about WordPress – so we knew how to mould it into the perfect online destination for the team.

Putting Family Values First

Hall and Woodhouse is a family run business – it’s currently in its 7th generation, so it’s no surprise that values are a pretty big deal. It’s the same for us here at Propeller. After understanding the “Ways of Woodhouse,” we built a site that can be customised to demonstrate each pub’s unique features and true character, while also capturing the ethos of Hall & Woodhouse.

A Team Effort

We think it’s important to put Pub Managers in the driving seat – after all, who knows the pubs better than them? So we worked with Hall & Woodhouse to put together a training workshop around CRM and CMS to make sure their managers had the tools to connect with their customers and spread the Hall & Woodhouse way.

Our eCommerce team are excited to present a new launch with Bottles Fine Wine. We created the bespoke theme built on Shopify Plus, including an integration with Loyalty Lion and Netsuite ERP. It’s a veritable emporium, offering thousands of the finest wines from the Rhode Island based experts.

Bottles was founded on the basic principles of seasonality and accessibility. Wine, beer, and spirits are agricultural products that are grown in fields, hand crafted, and finally sold with the same attention to detail in their shop.
