WooCommerce Website Design for Funny Kids
A first company website for Funny Kids, bringing its sweet range online with WooCommerce, online payments, special offers, competitions and wholesale enquiries.
From Established Confectionery Business to Online Retail
Funny Kids had already built a strong reputation through more than four decades in the Irish confectionery trade. The next step was to establish a professional digital presence capable of supporting both direct online sales and wider business growth.
As this was the company’s first dedicated website, the project started without the limitations of an existing platform. We could plan the structure around how Funny Kids actually operates, combining consumer eCommerce with wholesale opportunities, promotions and ongoing product activity.
The result is a colourful, accessible eCommerce website that gives Funny Kids its own digital sales channel while presenting the history and personality behind the business.
Project Overview
This website needed to do considerably more than introduce the company.
Funny Kids has a growing catalogue of sweet tubs and confectionery products sold across multiple categories. Customers needed a simple way to discover products, understand the range and purchase directly online.
At the same time, the website had to serve another important audience: business and wholesale customers looking for larger orders.
We therefore developed the website around several distinct requirements:
Direct online sales
A complete WooCommerce shopping experience where customers can browse products and purchase securely online.
Product presentation
A structured catalogue that makes a large and varied confectionery range easy to explore.
Wholesale enquiries
A clear route for businesses and bulk buyers to contact Funny Kids regarding larger orders.
Offers and promotions
Dedicated opportunities to promote special offers, bundles and seasonal campaigns.
Competitions
Website functionality and content areas that allow Funny Kids to run online competitions and customer promotions.
WooCommerce Website Built for Online Sales
WooCommerce provided the flexibility required to turn the new website into a practical online sales platform.
Rather than simply displaying the Funny Kids range, customers can move naturally from discovering products to adding them to their basket and completing an online purchase.
Organised product categories
Products are divided into clear categories including classic sweets, fizzy and sour products, gummies, premium selections and product bundles.
Online payments
The checkout provides customers with a straightforward way to complete and pay for orders through the website.
Mobile shopping
The store was developed to make browsing and purchasing straightforward across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
Scalable catalogue
The WooCommerce structure allows new products and collections to be added as the Funny Kids range continues to develop.
This gives the business a flexible WooCommerce website that can evolve alongside its product catalogue.
Product Uploads and Catalogue Management
A successful eCommerce website requires ongoing attention to the products customers actually see.
We assist Funny Kids with product uploads and catalogue updates, ensuring new products can be introduced with appropriate imagery, pricing, descriptions and category placement.
The current website brings together individual sweet tubs, established favourites and premium products in a consistent catalogue, making it much easier for customers to explore the full range than through offline promotion alone.
Product Bundles and Promotional Offers
Funny Kids frequently has more to promote than individual products.
The website therefore supports product bundles and special offers, creating opportunities to group products together and highlight particular promotions to customers.
Dedicated promotional areas on the website help make current offers visible without distracting from the main shopping experience.
This flexibility is particularly useful for a confectionery business where products, bundles and campaigns can change throughout the year.
Competitions and Customer Engagement
The website also provides Funny Kids with its own platform for running and promoting competitions.
Instead of relying entirely on third-party social media platforms, competitions can be connected directly with the company’s website, giving customers another reason to visit and engage with the Funny Kids brand online.
It also means promotional campaigns can direct customers back to the same website where they can explore products and make a purchase.
Supporting Wholesale and Business Enquiries
Direct consumer sales are only one part of the Funny Kids business.
A key objective of the new website was to make the company easier to discover and contact for wholesale and larger-volume orders.
The website gives prospective business customers a professional place to understand the company, explore its product range and make an enquiry about wholesale requirements.
This creates two complementary customer journeys: consumers can purchase directly through WooCommerce, while potential wholesale customers have a clear route for starting a conversation with the company.
Building Trust in a New Online Sales Channel
Although the website itself was new, the business behind it was not.
It was therefore important that the design communicated the company’s established history and experience. Messaging throughout the website highlights Funny Kids’ 40+ years in the Irish confectionery trade and its position as a 100% Irish-owned business.
Product imagery, customer feedback and business information reinforce that credibility while the colourful visual approach keeps the website appropriate for the Funny Kids brand.
Email Service and Ongoing Support
Our work with Funny Kids extends beyond the initial website build.
Email service support
We provide assistance with the company’s website-related email services and configuration, helping maintain reliable day-to-day business communications.
Product uploads
New products can be added and existing product information updated as the range develops.
Website content
Promotional content, offers, competitions and other website information can be updated as required.
This ongoing relationship allows the website to remain useful as a working business platform rather than becoming a static site after launch.

From One Project to a Long-Term Digital Partnership
La Maison is a good example of how our relationships with clients often develop beyond a single service.
We initially worked together on the restaurant’s virtual tour. La Maison subsequently trusted Advanced Solutions with its full website redesign and then with ongoing SEO optimisation.
The client later chose us again for the website and SEO of La Vespa, reinforcing a relationship built over several different hospitality projects.
For us, the La Maison website is not simply a redesign. It became the centre of a much broader digital presence combining website design, immersive content, restaurant functionality and organic search.
