TOOT GAROOK
WEBSITE DESIGN - BRANDING - SOCIAL MEDIA
The brief
toot garook is a well established, independent lifestyle store based in Exeter. Having successfully been in business since 1995, founder Jude wanted to build on this further with an online store, selling nationwide. When Jude approached us, she already had a Shopify website but wanted it to better reflect her brand and be more user friendly, so we opted for a complete redesign and restructure.
The branding & design direction
Originally from Australia, Jude named her shop after a Victoria beach resort, toot garook, which is an aboriginal word for ‘croaking of frogs’, hence the frog logo. The quirky name and logo were a perfect fit for the unique diversity of products the store offers so it was important to maintain and amplify this brand identity in the website design. The vibrant orange of the logo and storefront is prominently featured throughout the site to maintain continuity. The choice of font balances the quirkiness of the visual designs with a sense of sophistication.
The conclusion
Since we redesigned the website we’ve continued to work with Jude & the team, creating content for their social media and blog series as well as running various seasonal campaigns through paid advertising.
