Hops Connect Canada is a Vancouver-based grower, importer, and distributor of hops. Started back in 2013, they began a small growing and processing operation for their proprietary Sasquatch® hop from their farm in Pemberton, BC. In 2016 they expanded their operation to Centralia, Ontario, to serve the Eastern part of the country. Today they continue to invest in their facilities, their people, and their relationships with the Canadian craft brewing community.
Project Overview
Having outgrown their previous website, Fuse was tasked with building a website that would showcase their story, their people, and the expertise they bring to the industry with the professional look and feel of their new brand.
The new website first and foremost needed to tell the story of the Hops Connect Canada brand and showcase the faces behind the names. They also wanted to show what sets them apart from their industry peers through the relationships built with global supply partners, exclusive hops, and value-added services.
Visitors can browse their vast catalogue of hops, download the datasheets for their chosen variety and go through the process of signing up and placing their first order. In addition to their traditional hops, they offer a variety of advanced hop products such as oils, extracts, and pellets. For these offerings, we built a brewing calculator to find the exact amount needed for any application. Once an order has been placed customers can head back to the site to pay their bill and look up the certificates for the hops they received.
The site was built on a fresh WordPress install with a fully custom theme and WordPress custom plugins for the hops calculator and certificate look-up, all built in-house by Fuse.
