About the Project
Case Study Coffee Lounge is a coffee shop in Phoenix Arizona. They wanted a website that would showcase their coffee shop as well as provide information for their customers.
The website is a beautiful representation of the coffee shop and the functionality of the events schedule and store hours makes it easy for customers to see what is going on at the shop.
Challenges
Working with William Douglas, the owner of Case Study Coffee Lounge, we identified several key components that were essential for the website:
- Event System: A dynamic event system to display upcoming events at the coffee shop.
- Store Hours: A clear display of the coffee shop’s hours of operation.
- Contact Information: Easy access to contact details for customer inquiries.
- Clean Design: A modern and clean design that reflects the coffee shop’s aesthetic.
Building a Dynamic Event System
Case Study regularly hosted events at their coffee shop and the venue space they have available. They needed a way for customer and fans to see what would be happening at the shop. We worked together to come up with an event system where an event can be added and the list shows what is happening today or in the future. This allows them to easily update the events and keep their customers informed.
We developed the component so that one one event had to be created for recurring events, making managing events easier. The site admin can set an event as recurring and specify the frequency, such as weekly or monthly. This reduces the need for manual updates and ensures that the event information is always current.
Displaying Store Hours
The store hours were another important aspect of the website. We created a simple and effective way to display the coffee shop’s hours of operation. The store hours are prominently displayed on the homepage, making it easy for customers to find the information they need.
Matching The Atmosphere Of The Shop
The design of the website was inspired by the atmosphere of the coffee shop itself. We wanted to create a space that felt warm and inviting, much like the shop. The color palette involves a warm orange color that accents the images of the woodworking in the shop. The use of high-quality images of the coffee shop and its products helps to create a visual connection with the customers.
Conclusion
The Case Study Coffee Lounge website is one of our favorite projects. It showcases the coffee shop’s unique atmosphere and provides essential information for customers in a user-friendly manner. By focusing on the key components that were essential for the coffee shop, we were able to create a website that not only looks great but also serves its purpose effectively.
