The Hungry Pumpkin e-commerce store with one-click checkout




Hungry Pumpkin

We acted as Hungry Pumpkin's e-commerce sherpas, optimizing their existing platform with features like one-click checkouts and inventory management while providing WordPress CMS training so their team could update content and manage products like pros.

Sectors


The challenge

A busy kitchen, an online store

Hungry Pumpkin serves full-English breakfasts and authentic Italian dishes, and sells online through a WordPress e-commerce store.

They didn't need a new platform. They needed the one they had to work harder, and they needed their own team to be able to run it.



The build

Optimize, don't replace

One-click checkouts cut the steps between choosing and paying. We added inventory management alongside it.

Underneath, our hosting recommendations gave the site a rock-solid foundation with near-perfect performance scores. A set-and-forget maintenance plan keeps their site running smoothly.

The other half of the job was handover. We trained their team on the WordPress CMS, from managing products to layout changes, so their team updates content and manages products themselves.



The outcome

A Travellers Choice award

Shortly after launch, Hungry Pumpkin earned a Travellers Choice award. That was their cooking. Our part was a fast site and a team able to run it.

From latte art to layout changes, they now own their site rather than rent it, and they can put their attention where it belongs: on the food.



Common questions

Hungry Pumpkin project FAQs

What buyers ask us about the Hungry Pumpkin project, answered from the work itself

What did you actually change?
We optimized the existing e-commerce platform rather than replacing it, adding one-click checkouts and inventory management, and moved them onto hosting that delivers near-perfect performance scores.
Who looks after the site afterwards?
They do, for content, and we do for the infrastructure. A set-and-forget maintenance plan keeps the site running, and the WordPress CMS training we ran means their team updates content and manages products without coming back to us.
Is training really worth paying for?
It is the difference between owning your site and renting it. The workshops covered everything from layout changes upwards, so the team could keep the site current while concentrating on the food rather than the CMS.
What happened after launch?
Hungry Pumpkin earned a Travellers Choice award shortly after launch. That was their cooking; our part was a fast site and a team able to run it.
