The Client

The Best Kayak For You

Located in Virginia, Appomattox River Company prides themselves in being the paddle sports experts who will not only sell you a great product but provide support and educational information to their consumers.

Appomattox River Company, founded by Bob Taylor in 1977, hails their claim to fame as the largest canoe and kayak specialty store around. Passionate about all things paddle sports, Bob and the members of his company are knowledgeable in both classic and cutting-edge paddle sports such as white-water kayaking, canoeing, SUP, sea kayaking, and kayak fishing. Their inventory boasts a whopping nearly 3,000 items in paddle-craft, often featuring great buys and special deals.

The Project

Finding a Solution That Fits

When we took on this project, Appomattox River Company was having problems with their current e-commerce platform. It was over-customized and had an outdated system that was causing issues with their inventory. They were at a decision point of either upgrading their current system or going with our recommendation to move the e-commerce platform and design a completely new website.

The Solutions

Design, Integrations, and More

It was a pretty complex project, with almost 3,000 items (some up to 5 or 6 additional variants, and many high ticket items), so the client was understandably concerned about the transition but was comfortable with our expertise to create a smoother transition for them.

Finally, we integrated their social media platforms and Facebook Messenger.
