Burgess Pet Care

An Ecommerce Website 370 Years in The Making

Dating back to 1649, for generations, Burgess has produced the finest quality foods for people and animals. Burgess Pet Care was then formed in 1963 and has since become one of the leading animal food manufacturers for both the UK and overseas markets.

An under-performing website was starting to hold back progression, and Burgess Pet Care had identified new markets that were accessible and growing online. Burgess partnered with Wish to deliver a WordPress powered e-commerce website targeting increased revenue and raising brand awareness. The results speak for themselves.

Engaging user experience

We followed an enjoyable, yet very thorough, project scoping process, involving analytics analysis, wireframe creation, idea brainstorms, creative input, and development discussions to determine the most successful implementation.

WooCommerce was the e-commerce platform of choice, offering the flexibility of a completely bespoke front-end user experience, fulfilment integrations and powerful administration tools to manage the website.

We followed a mobile first methodology to design and implement a fully optimised web experience on mobile and tablets. The Wish team created a beautiful user interface, that’s easy to navigate and will achieve on all sales and search engine objectives.
