About

Kaikoa Designs is a passionate artisan jewellery brand drawing inspiration from nature and the ocean, creating unique handmade pieces that last a lifetime.

Founded by Marc and Sally, Kaikoa transforms oceanic wonder into wearable art. Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and environmental connection. The brand’s Hawaiian-rooted identity as “ocean warriors” and “guardians of the sea” flows through every creation, bringing the beauty of Australian coastal waters to life through precious metals and thoughtful design.

Our Challenge

Kaikoa needed a digital platform that would tell their story properly. They wanted to share their love for the ocean and their handmade jewellery in a way that felt genuine. The challenge was creating a website that balanced their deep environmental values with smooth online shopping, making it easy for customers to connect with their story and buy beautiful pieces.

Our Approach

We spent time with Marc and Sally to understand their craft and what drives them. Our approach was straightforward: build a website that shows their skills and lets customers see the real people behind each piece. We focused on clear navigation, honest storytelling, and making it easy for customers to shop. The goal was creating a digital space that feels as genuine as their workshop in the Glass House Mountains.

E-commerce Optimisation

We focused on a user-friendly design to guide visitors through the site. This helps potential clients quickly find and understand the value of Accelerate IT Solutions’ services, reinforcing their position as a knowledgeable and results-driven partner.

LEAD GENERATING CONTACT SYSTEM

We built a smooth shopping experience with clear pricing and secure payment options. Strategic features like the 10% first-purchase discount through “Join The Club” help turn visitors into customers.

Social Proof Integration

We added customer testimonials and influencer partnerships to build trust. The social media connections help spread the brand’s reach through real customer stories and beautiful product photos.

Environmental Messaging

We highlighted Kaikoa’s partnership with The Paul Watson Foundation and their commitment to ocean-friendly practices. This appeals to customers who care about the environment and strengthens the brand’s values.

Design System

The design embraces minimalism with Inter typography for clean, easy reading. We chose warm sand tones, deep charcoal, and soft stone colours that bring the brand’s oceanic soul to life. These natural colours ground Kaikoa in its coastal roots and highlight the handcrafted jewellery that speaks to both adventure lovers and those who the appreciate timeless beauty.
