the challenge

Speciality coffee buyers behave differently from most e-commerce customers. They research. They read tasting notes. They want to know the farm, the process, the altitude — and they will happily spend ten minutes on a product page before deciding.

Most roaster storefronts fight that behaviour with a standard e-commerce template: a photo, a price, a buy button. The brief here was to build the opposite — a store that rewards a customer who wants to read.

the store

the approach

Built on Dawn's architecture rather than a page builder, so the theme stays fast and stays maintainable. Every piece of storytelling is a section the client can reorder without touching code.

The product page was the priority. Origin, process and roast date sit above the fold alongside the variant selector, so the information that builds confidence arrives before the ask.
