CASE STUDY
Dream Catcher Campers Website Design & Ecommerce Case Study
The Client
Dream Catcher Campers specialise in bespoke camper van conversions and handcrafted camper pods built in the UK. Their reputation for quality craftsmanship was growing rapidly, but their previous website no longer reflected the standard of their work or supported the next stage of the business.
The objective was to create a website capable of showcasing completed conversions, selling products online and providing customers with an easy way to configure and order bespoke camper pods.
The Challenge
The existing website presented several challenges that were restricting growth.
- Brochure website
- Outdated design
- Poor mobile experience
- Difficult to update
- Slow loading
- No Ecommerce
- No bespoke camper configurator
- Customer enquiries handled manually
- Difficult for customers to visualise options
- SEO opportunities being missed
Dream Catcher Campers required far more than a brochure website. They needed a digital platform capable of supporting sales, generating enquiries and streamlining the ordering process.
Our Solution
Rather than simply redesigning the website, we completely rebuilt the platform from the ground up.
The new website was developed using WordPress and WooCommerce, providing a flexible ecommerce solution that could grow alongside the business. Every page was designed specifically around the customer journey, making it easier for visitors to browse conversions, purchase products and enquire about bespoke work.
We also improved website speed, search engine optimisation and mobile usability to ensure the website performs as well as it looks.
Dream Catcher Campers needed a website that could show case their bespoke built camper pods, camper converstions and sell online.
Their old site was slow hard to update and wasn’t generating enquires or sales, built with Wix.
The Bespoke Camper Configurator
A Configurator Built From Scratch
One of the biggest challenges was creating a system that allowed customers to design their own camper pod online.
After extensive research, we found there was no existing plugin or software capable of delivering the level of functionality Dream Catcher Campers required.
Rather than compromising, appyenterprise designed and developed a completely bespoke configurator using custom JavaScript, AJAX, PHP and WooCommerce integration.
The configurator updates instantly as customers make selections, creating a smooth experience without reloading the page.
Customers can configure options, instantly see pricing updates and complete their purchase directly through the website.

- AJAX Live Updates
- Dynamic Pricing
- Mobile Friendly
- Fast Performance
- Easy To Expand
