PlatformsThe Brand
Barrel Rock Clothing, based in Bude, Cornwall, offers surf-inspired fashion for men, women, and children. Combining coastal lifestyle aesthetics with comfort, they operate both online and in-store, emphasizing relaxed, beach-ready style
The Challenge
Barrel Rock wanted a fresh, surf-inspired e-commerce site capturing Bude's coastal spirit. A visually dynamic, mobile-first design blending lifestyle storytelling that highlights product imagery, clear navigation while supporting brand growth and digital engagement.
The Result
The new Shopify site is visually rich, driven by locally-shot lifestyle photography that captures the energy of Bude's surf culture. The responsive design enhances usability, while storytelling visuals deepen brand connection and inspire a coastal community vibe.
Absolutely five stars for Mark at Akāw. I approached Mark with a wish list for an e-commerce website, lifestyle photography, and social media content that will communicate the Barrel Rock brand to my customers, which he delivered on design, functionality, ease of use and within my timeframe and budget. He continues to support the brand with fresh content and updates. A very professional experience.
