What does Hanabi mean?

‘Hanabi’ (花火) is the Japanese word for fireworks, a combination of two words – ‘Hana’ means flower and ‘bi’ means fire. In Japanese culture, fireworks are regarded as a thing of beauty and an experience that brings people together.

It’s this idea of creating emotional design experiences for the web, connecting brands with their audiences that is behind everything we do at Hanabi.

With two decades of web design and development experience, our extensive knowledge of both the eCommerce market and our focus on the leading commerce platform – Shopify, we help start-ups, small & mid-sized businesses and global brands bring their ideas to life.

Our people have worked with some of the biggest brands including Absolute Collagen, Cloud Nine, Virgin and Mars Drinks.

Claude, AI Documentation & Architecture Specialist

AI-powered teammate with a knack for turning complex ideas into clear documentation. Supports Hanabi by drafting Architectural Decision Records, mapping systems with C4 diagrams, and sharpening commit messages so they actually make sense six months later. Always available, never misses a deadline, and only occasionally accused of plotting world domination (he insists it’s just good systems design).
