Overview
Mountain Bush Knives is a custom knife forging company based in Nanyuki, Kenya; known for handcrafted blades and immersive forging experiences. The project involved redesigning their online presence from an AI-generated template into a fully custom, high-performance platform. The new site blends brand storytelling with functionality, allowing visitors to explore products, learn about the craft, and seamlessly book forge experiences. The result is a digital presence that captures the artistry and authenticity of the brand while improving engagement and conversion.
Problem
The client needed a professional website that reflected their craftsmanship and authenticity. Their existing solution lacked consistency, scalability, and efficient booking management. They wanted a system that would simplify forge experience bookings, reduce manual coordination, and enhance brand visibility.
Solution
Developed a bespoke, performance-optimized platform using Next.js, Node.js, and MySQL. The new system centralizes bookings and inquiries, making it easier for the team to manage schedules and client interactions. The design emphasizes visual storytelling and usability, ensuring every detail reflects the brand’s premium identity. The result is a seamless experience that supports both customers and the business, helping Mountain Bush Knives stand out as a world-class craft brand.
