  • The Brief

    Pat and Stick needed a new website to reflect today's modern web - a refreshed design was created by the designers at The Offices. Their design layout focused on detailed product information, displaying recent instagram posts, behind the scenes information and the all important store locator to help locate the nearest ice cream sandwich (or four-pack & tub)!

  • The Solution

    Built on WordPress with a fully custom theme developed from scratch, the site was brought to life using Bootstrap as the responsive framework — allowing each page of The Offices' desktop designs to translate seamlessly across mobile, tablet, and desktop.

    Key features developed:

    • Database-driven flavour & product listings — all flavours and product types are managed via custom WordPress post types, making it simple for the Pat and Stick's team to add or update products without touching any code
    • Dynamic Instagram feed — automatically pulls and displays the latest posts, with a responsive grid that adapts the number of images shown on smaller screens
    • Stockist/location finder — each search result generates a direct, shareable URL so customers can easily find and share their nearest stockist
    • Collaborative build process — worked closely with the graphic design agency across hemispheres to ensure the finished site matched the original vision with pixel precision

  • The Result

    The launch was a success, with the Pat and Stick's team quickly up and running managing their own flavour listings. The collaboration led to an ongoing support relationship, with additional features planned for future development.
Andrew has pulled off the impossible with our transition from a clunky old WordPress template website to a new whizz-bang piece of Internet art. From the outset, Andrew was great to communicate with (despite being a whole hemisphere away) and took in the concepts we wanted with ease before expanding them to deliver more value than we ever thought possible. His technical prowess and depth of development knowledge was married perfectly with a balanced mix of art, wordsmithing, creativity and project management. Thanks to his ability to follow through patiently with our graphic designer we now have one of the best-looking sites out there with performance to boot! Thank you Andrew, we look forward to our next project with you! Stick, Pat and Stick's
