Rocky Mtn Chocolate
From humble (and delicious) beginnings in Whistler, British Columbia, Rocky MTN Chocolate has grown to 45+ franchises strong, coast to coast! They’ve become one of the most recognized and beloved confection brands, renowned for premium quality chocolates, hand-made in small batches. Rocky came to SplitMango wanting a beautiful and simple website that would support brand awareness and sales, an e-commerce store, as well as the development of intranet apps to support their franchisee’s operations.

Our Approach
It was critical to fully understand the client’s needs right from the start so that we could deploy the right technology for the job at hand.
We recognized the inherent complexity behind Rocky MTN’s request, and so we recommended that the client use our Tech Expertise services. This allowed us to fully understand the client’s needs right from the start so that we could deploy the right technology for the job at hand.
We recommended that their custom website be developed using the Statamic Content Management System. This would allow for scalable growth with a solid technical foundation. The website we created was simple and playful, with detailed product and retail store information. The site is easily updated with seasonal content. We custom-built their Shopify store within the main site. It’s easy to navigate and to use, with a clean, simple path to purchase.
The Outcome
A positive brand experience with e-commerce convenience makes Rocky Choc a go-to for chocolate lovers.
By developing the main website and Rocky Choc’s e-commerce platform at the same time, we were able to deliver a beautifully-integrated web experience that
1) Increases positive brand awareness and
2) Drives sales and customer satisfaction
SplitMango also developed intranet apps to support communications and business operations with 45+ franchisees. The intranet apps also have dedicated support from SplitMango, apart from the public website.
In collaboration with Rocky Choc, SplitMango implements timely updates and promotions that support their marketing calendar and tactical initiatives. We built rockychoc.com and their online store, shop.rockychoc.com for maximum speed and responsiveness. The platform ensures delivery of a consistently-positive experience across all devices, while being able to accommodate new features, products and growth of the business.
