Kippax’s existing website was outdated and did not reflect their long history of quality and innovation. The complex navigation structure made it difficult for users to find necessary information, resulting in high bounce rates and low engagement.
Industry and Specific Issues: In the screen printing equipment industry, up-to-date and detailed technical information is essential. Kippax’s old website did not provide this information effectively, making it difficult for potential customers to find what they needed to make purchasing decisions.
Market or Operational Challenges: The screen printing industry is highly competitive. Kippax needed a website that effectively showcased their unique selling points and extensive industry experience to stand out from competitors.

Implementation Details: Our initial assessment of the existing website identified several areas for improvement. We collaborated closely with Andrew and Bill Kippax to ensure the new design aligned with their brand identity and business objectives. The redesigned website features a streamlined navigation structure to improve user experience and is mobile-optimised to enhance accessibility for all users.

The modern, user-friendly interface, coupled with clear information and easy navigation, positioned Kippax as a leader in the screen printing equipment industry.
Impact on Business Growth: The improved website design and enhanced SEO visibility boosted Kippax’s market presence, making it easier for customers to find and engage with their products and services. This, in turn, contributed to business growth and an increased competitive edge.
